import { CodeTabs, CodeTab } from "docs-ui" export const metadata = { title: `Order Module`, } # {metadata.title} In this section of the documentation, you will find resources to learn more about the Order Module and how to use it in your application. Refer to the [Medusa Admin User Guide](!user-guide!/orders) to learn how to manage orders using the dashboard. Medusa has order related features available out-of-the-box through the Order Module. A [module](!docs!/learn/fundamentals/modules) is a standalone package that provides features for a single domain. Each of Medusa's commerce features are placed in commerce modules, such as this Order Module. Learn more about why modules are isolated in [this documentation](!docs!/learn/fundamentals/modules/isolation). ## Order Features - [Order Management](./concepts/page.mdx): Store and manage your orders to retrieve, create, cancel, and perform other operations. - Draft Orders: Allow merchants to create orders on behalf of their customers as draft orders that later are transformed to regular orders. - [Apply Promotion Adjustments](./promotion-adjustments/page.mdx): Apply promotions or discounts to the order's items and shipping methods by adding adjustment lines that are factored into their subtotals. - [Apply Tax Lines](./tax-lines/page.mdx): Apply tax lines to an order's line items and shipping methods. - [Returns](./return/page.mdx), [Edits](./edit/page.mdx), [Exchanges](./exchange/page.mdx), and [Claims](./claim/page.mdx): Make [changes](./order-change/page.mdx) to an order to edit, return, or exchange its items, with [version-based control](./order-versioning/page.mdx) over the order's timeline. --- ## How to Use the Order Module In your Medusa application, you build flows around commerce modules. A flow is built as a [Workflow](!docs!/learn/fundamentals/workflows), which is a special function composed of a series of steps that guarantees data consistency and reliable roll-back mechanism. You can build custom workflows and steps. You can also re-use Medusa's workflows and steps, which are provided by the `@medusajs/medusa/core-flows` package. For example: export const highlights = [ ["12", "Modules.ORDER", "Resolve the module in a step."] ] ```ts title="src/workflows/create-draft-order.ts" highlights={highlights} import { createWorkflow, WorkflowResponse, createStep, StepResponse, } from "@medusajs/framework/workflows-sdk" import { Modules } from "@medusajs/framework/utils" const createDraftOrderStep = createStep( "create-order", async ({}, { container }) => { const orderModuleService = container.resolve(Modules.ORDER) const draftOrder = await orderModuleService.createOrders({ currency_code: "usd", items: [ { title: "Shirt", quantity: 1, unit_price: 3000, }, ], shipping_methods: [ { name: "Express shipping", amount: 3000, }, ], status: "draft", }) return new StepResponse({ draftOrder }, draftOrder.id) }, async (draftOrderId, { container }) => { if (!draftOrderId) { return } const orderModuleService = container.resolve(Modules.ORDER) await orderModuleService.deleteOrders([draftOrderId]) } ) export const createDraftOrderWorkflow = createWorkflow( "create-draft-order", () => { const { draftOrder } = createDraftOrderStep() return new WorkflowResponse({ draftOrder, }) } ) ``` You can then execute the workflow in your custom API routes, scheduled jobs, or subscribers: ```ts title="src/api/workflow/route.ts" highlights={[["11"], ["12"]]} collapsibleLines="1-6" expandButtonLabel="Show Imports" import type { MedusaRequest, MedusaResponse, } from "@medusajs/framework/http" import { createDraftOrderWorkflow } from "../../workflows/create-draft-order" export async function GET( req: MedusaRequest, res: MedusaResponse ) { const { result } = await createDraftOrderWorkflow(req.scope) .run() res.send(result) } ``` ```ts title="src/subscribers/user-created.ts" highlights={[["11"], ["12"]]} collapsibleLines="1-6" expandButtonLabel="Show Imports" import { type SubscriberConfig, type SubscriberArgs, } from "@medusajs/framework" import { createDraftOrderWorkflow } from "../workflows/create-draft-order" export default async function handleUserCreated({ event: { data }, container, }: SubscriberArgs<{ id: string }>) { const { result } = await createDraftOrderWorkflow(container) .run() console.log(result) } export const config: SubscriberConfig = { event: "user.created", } ``` ```ts title="src/jobs/run-daily.ts" highlights={[["7"], ["8"]]} import { MedusaContainer } from "@medusajs/framework/types" import { createDraftOrderWorkflow } from "../workflows/create-draft-order" export default async function myCustomJob( container: MedusaContainer ) { const { result } = await createDraftOrderWorkflow(container) .run() console.log(result) } export const config = { name: "run-once-a-day", schedule: `0 0 * * *`, } ``` Learn more about workflows in [this documentation](!docs!/learn/fundamentals/workflows). ---
