Creates an order. By default, product inventory is not claimed. When you create an order, you can include the following option parameters in the body of the request: inventory_behaviour: The behaviour to use when updating inventory. (default: bypass) bypass: Do not claim inventory. decrement_ignoring_policy: Ignore the product's inventory policy and claim inventory. decrement_obeying_policy: Follow the product's inventory policy and claim inventory, if possible. send_receipt: Whether to send an order confirmation to the customer. Note If you're working on a private app and order confirmations are still being sent to the customer when send_receipt is set to false, then you need to disable the Storefront API from the private app's page in the Shopify admin. send_fulfillment_receipt: Whether to send a shipping confirmation to the customer. Note If you are including shipping_address or billing_address, make sure to pass both first_name and last_name. Otherwise both these addresses will be ignored. If you're using this endpoint with a trial or Partner development store, then you can create no more than 5 new orders per minute.
