| Has anyone had success using the Update Order Status API call to update the status
of a Placed order? I'm trying to use almost the exact same code that
I use to update the status of Received orders, but I keep getting a "The
remote server returned an error: (404) Not Found." error.

It works fine for me, using PUT https://api.bricklink.com/api/store/v1/orders/12345678/status
where 12345678 is the order number.
Make sure you're using the PUT method.
The body should look like
{
"field": "status",
"value": "PACKED"
}
replacing "PACKED" with the status you want.

Hi Jonathan,
Does this work for you with an order that you placed in another store? What you
describe works, but only for orders that are placed in my store. That is most
likely what OurBricks also experiences. The exact same code for an order I placed
in another store returns a RESOURCE_NOT_FOUND. Sounds like a bug.

If it's confirmed to be the case, and IMHO as it's a Seller API or was
built in this idea (see TOS: Registered sellers of the Website ( "BrickLink
Sellers" ) may register to the API.) then it simply doesn't work
- by design - when you're using it "as a buyer" or for a
Placed order.

| The reason I wanted to use the API to set the status (only Received or Completed)
of an order as a Buyer, is that I'm adding an enhancement to the Brick Seller
software that allows a seller to "Part Out" an order they placed with
a different seller and then set the order status to Completed after the Part
Out is done.
I completely agree that only a seller should be able to update the status for
an order to the other status values, but a buyer that is also a seller should
be able to set the status of a placed order to Received or Completed (as they
can via the BrickLink website).
I assume that the developers of the BrickLink API never thought there would be
a need to update the status of a placed order via the API.

Again, it's been probably developed as a seller API, so it may not work with
Placed orders.
Much more, it seems to me the problem you've could be:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XY_problem
In short, I wouldn't count on a BrickLink status (and wouldn't change
it), but would implement an internal flag for done/undone, or any other solution.
In other words, don't make BrickLink work another way, better manage it differently
yourself?
Good luck!

The API handling code should be able to interpret whether the order should be
paid using PayPal Onsite. If the API tries to update the order and it is a PayPal
Onsite payment, and the buyer did not pay using PayPal Onsite, for example the
buyer sent the payment to the seller's PayPal address via the PayPal website
but not using the BrickLink payment link on their Orders Received page, then
the API handler should flag that as an issue to the seller and inform them that
they need to contact the buyer to resolve this issue.
It is a legal requirement that BrickLink collect taxes on orders when required
to do so, it is tax evasion if this payment is not collected by BrickLink.
