Place an order as a guest

Places an order as a guest, without user registration.

What this example does:

  • The user is not signed in
  • The user fills out a contact form (for example, guest_order)
  • The user selects products (you can preset a list)
  • The order is created without an access token. The guest user group must have permission to create orders and payment sessions

Prerequisites:

  • A valid PROJECT_URL and APP_TOKEN for the OneEntry API.
  • An order storage with the marker guest_orders and a linked order form with the marker guest_order.
  • Permission for the guest user group to create orders and payment sessions.
  • A list of productId and quantity

Notes:

  • The form fields (marker, type) must match the form settings in the admin panel.
  • To send a notification about an order, use Events.
  • The examples handle errors minimally: they throw when a call returns an error object.
  • By default (isShell: true) the SDK returns an error object instead of throwing, so check the result, e.g. 'statusCode' in result. With isShell: false it throws, and you handle errors with try/catch. See Errors.

Run this example in the JS SDK sandbox. Connect your Project URL and App Token on first visit, then open:

Scenario​

1. Import defineOneEntry and define PROJECT_URL and APP_TOKEN​

import { defineOneEntry } from 'oneentry';
import type { IOrderData } from 'oneentry';

const PROJECT_URL = 'https://your-project.oneentry.cloud';
const APP_TOKEN = 'your-app-token';

2. Create an API client​

const { Orders, Payments } = defineOneEntry(PROJECT_URL, {
  token: APP_TOKEN,
});

3. Prepare the data that usually comes from the frontend form​

const guestFormData = [
  {
    marker: 'guest_name',
    type: 'string',
    value: 'John Smith',
  },
  {
    marker: 'guest_phone',
    type: 'string',
    value: '+12025550147',
  },
  {
    marker: 'guest_email',
    type: 'string',
    value: 'john@example.com',
  },
];
const productsData = [
  {
    productId: 15,
    quantity: 1,
  },
];
const body: IOrderData = {
  formIdentifier: 'guest_order',
  paymentAccountIdentifier: 'cash',
  formData: guestFormData,
  products: productsData,
};
Result:
{
  "formIdentifier": "guest_order",
  "paymentAccountIdentifier": "cash",
  "formData": [
    {
      "marker": "guest_name",
      "type": "string",
      "value": "John Smith"
    },
    {
      "marker": "guest_phone",
      "type": "string",
      "value": "+12025550147"
    },
    {
      "marker": "guest_email",
      "type": "string",
      "value": "john@example.com"
    }
  ],
  "products": [
    {
      "productId": 15,
      "quantity": 1
    }
  ]
}

4. Create a guest order​

const order = await Orders.createOrder('guest_orders', body);

if ('statusCode' in order) {
  throw new Error(order.message);
}
Result:
{
  "id": 113,
  "formIdentifier": "guest_order",
  "paymentAccountIdentifier": "cash",
  "formData": [
    {
      "marker": "guest_name",
      "type": "string",
      "value": "John Smith"
    },
    {
      "marker": "guest_phone",
      "type": "string",
      "value": "+12025550147"
    },
    {
      "marker": "guest_email",
      "type": "string",
      "value": "john@example.com"
    }
  ],
  "products": [
    {
      "productId": 15,
      "quantity": 1
    }
  ],
  "currency": "USD",
  "totalSum": 400,
  "bonusApplied": 0,
  "totalDue": 400,
  "discountConfig": {
    "orderDiscounts": [],
    "productDiscounts": [],
    "coupon": null,
    "settings": {
      "allowStacking": false,
      "maxDiscountValue": null,
      "allowGiftStacking": false,
      "maxBonusPaymentPercent": null,
      "minBonusAmount": null,
      "minOrderAmountForBonus": null,
      "giftRefundPolicy": "KEEP_GIFT"
    },
    "additionalDiscountsMarkers": [],
    "totalRaw": 400,
    "totalSumWithDiscount": 400,
    "excludedGiftProductIds": [],
    "bonus": {
      "availableBalance": 0,
      "maxBonusDiscount": 0,
      "minBonusAmount": null,
      "minOrderAmountForBonus": null,
      "bonusApplied": 0
    },
    "bonusApplied": 0,
    "totalDue": 400
  },
  "statusIdentifier": "guest_upcoming",
  "statusLocalizeInfos": {
    "title": "Upcoming"
  },
  "createdDate": "2026-06-06T11:37:20.044Z"
}

5. Create a payment session​

const paymentSession = await Payments.createSession(
  order.id,
  'session',
  false,
);

if ('statusCode' in paymentSession) {
  throw new Error(paymentSession.message);
}

console.log(paymentSession);
Result:
{
  "id": 62,
  "createdDate": "2026-06-06T11:37:21.260Z",
  "updatedDate": "2026-06-06T11:37:21.260Z",
  "type": "session",
  "status": "waiting",
  "paymentAccountId": 1,
  "orderId": 113,
  "amount": null,
  "paymentUrl": null
}

6. Get the payment session by order ID with Payments.getSessionByOrderId()​

const sessionByOrderId = await Payments.getSessionByOrderId(order.id);

if ('statusCode' in sessionByOrderId) {
  throw new Error(sessionByOrderId.message);
}

console.log(sessionByOrderId, paymentSession);
Result:
[
  {
    "id": 62,
    "createdDate": "2026-06-06T11:37:21.260Z",
    "updatedDate": "2026-06-06T11:37:21.260Z",
    "type": "session",
    "status": "waiting",
    "paymentAccountId": 1,
    "orderId": 113,
    "amount": null,
    "paymentUrl": null
  }
]

// 2. Create an API client
const { Orders, Payments } = defineOneEntry(PROJECT_URL, {

// 4. Create a guest order
const order = await Orders.createOrder('guest_orders', body);

}

// 5. Create a payment session
const paymentSession = await Payments.createSession(
  order.id,
  'session',
  false,
