Order Item Cancellations API v2.3

KornitX now provides 3 endpoints that allow cancellations to be created against one or more items within an order. The endpoints allow you to update by the sales channels own order and item references (Order External Ref/Item External Ref), by the KornitX order and item IDs (sequential numbers attributed to all orders and items created in the KornitX platform), or by a combination of the 2.

Authentication

The Cancellations API uses OAuth 2.0 authentication.  A request for an OAuth token is made to the OAuth endpoint, which returns an access token.  This token can then be used in requests made to the Cancellations endpoint.

To make a request for a token, you will require an OAuth user to be set up in the KornitX platform. The user will require specific access and permissions depending on the API request. The permissions required for this request can be found in the “OAuth User Requirements” section below.

If you don’t have an OAuth user set up, please contact the support team, who will be happy to help. The support team will set up the OAuth user in the KornitX platform for you and supply you with the OAuth user client ID and client secret.  These credentials can then be used to obtain a token from the OAuth token endpoint. 

OAuth Token Endpoint - https://oauth.kornitx.net/token

The OAuth token can be obtained by making a POST to the above endpoint.  The request type for the OAuth token is x-www-form-urlencoded and must include the following form keys and values.

client_id

The client ID of the OAuth user provided by the support team.
