Hey,
I’m currently working on integrating Square with our online ordering application.
I would like to know if it’s feasible to construct a workflow where the payment is processed first (presumably using CreatePayment), and then the order line items are specified afterward (using CreateOrder/UpdateOrder).
I understand this isn’t the most straightforward approach, but given our existing system is maintained by various teams, this solution would greatly benefit us.
Any suggestions would be highly appreciated!
Thank you!

At this time the ability to process a payment before creating an order and adding line items to it isn’t currently available.
