how to add additional details to the order once it is created?

[chiragramjibhai]

Hello all,

I am stuck at some point and hope for some help.

My Goal:

Add Gift message to the order

-add gift message while creating order online(by the customer)

-add gift message while creating manual order(from Shopify admin)

-add gift message to already created order(from Shopify admin - order could have been created from online store by customer or from Shopify admin by staff)

In my POC I was able to add gift message to the order in the cart page using "note_attributes". But this works for order placed on the online store by the customer. After that I am not able to find a way to add gift message to the already created order or manual order.

Note: I do not want to use cart note. I am using this to store some other details.

I really appreciate your help...

Thanks

Hey @chiragramjibhai,

Based on my testing, I was able to update the "note_attributes" on an existing order that I created through the admin - I'd suggest using the example provided in our docs here as a starting point! - Cheers!
