How do I set an order as 'completed' without tracking information via the REST API?

[frost88]

I am currently selling Digital Goods, and I am wondering how I can set my order statuses (in paypal) as completed via the REST API?

https://developer.paypal.com/docs/api/orders/v2/#orders_track_create

This indicates that a tracking number is required. I currently have to do this through the PayPal website but would like to automate it more.

The screenshot below shows the task I am trying to complete via the API.

Good day @frost88 

Thank you for posting to the PayPal community.

In order to complete the payment process, we have outlined below the three steps that you need to follow:

To initiate the order process, please perform the Create Order API call by using the provided URL ( https://developer.paypal.com/docs/api/orders/v2/#orders_create). Once the order is created, the status will be automatically changed to "Created".

After the order has been created, you need to redirect the customer/buyer to the "approve" URL. Once the customer/buyer approves the order, the status will be updated to "Approved".

After the order has been approved, the merchant should perform the CaptureOrder API call using the ( https://developer.paypal.com/docs/api/orders/v2/#orders_capture). It is important that the customer or buyer provides a valid funding source during this process. This will change the order status to "Completed".

If you are still experiencing issues, please create an MTS ticket via the following URL  - https://www.paypal-support.com/s/?language=en_US  .Please ensure that you provide detailed information and error details when submitting the ticket.

Sincerely,

Kavya
