Querying the Orders API endpoint.

[Gregarican]

So I need to poll the Shopify orders endpoint to extract any partially-paid or partially-refunded orders. Since a fair amount of our business involves special orders that get a down payment upfront. Same for layaways on existing items that are in stock.

I know I can create a filter to only pull orders that have been created in a specified range. This would involve the created_at property. Based on the API docs (https://help.shopify.com/en/api/reference/orders/order#show-2019-10) the processed_at property just reflects this same value, correct?

We have cases where a customer comes in to make an additional payment on a layaway or special order. They aren't paying off in full and closing out the order. It's just another partial payment. Is there anywhere in the API where this event updates a datetime property in the order?

Following up, I do see the updated_at field, but this is updated for actions other than payments being taken/refunded.

Found the Transactions endpoint, so I can just iterate through those to eliminate any dupes when porting out. Good to go now.
