Current state of Orders API

Questions

Hello,
I am starting to build an application for a restaurant to integrate my ordering system with Square. That restaurant is most likely will work in a “Full Service” scenario. Currently I am exploring the API and forums to get an idea what is possible and what is not. I have following questions, for some of them I found responses here that it is not possible, but I wonder if that changed.

  1. I need to create an order and assign it to a table, fill it with items, but without payment. Will this order be visible in Square Restaurant application?
  2. Is it possible to get a webhook on update of each unpaid order, when it is updated via Restaurant Application or other Square services?
  3. Is it possible to get all unpaid orders and manage them: update, void, pay, close?

These feature unfortunately aren’t currently available yet. With our Orders migration that is happening it will enable all of what your wanting. Unfortunately, I don’t have public roadmap that I can share at this time, but please stay tuned. :slightly_smiling_face:
