When exporting orders from Acumatica using the Shopify connector, it is requiring that the sale be > 0.  
 

Error on order : Transactions is invalid;
Error on transactions : Amount must be greater than zero for sale transactions


We use Acumatica to create replacement orders, giveaways, affiliate orders that have no revenue. Acumatica makes it easy to use Reason Code, plus it’s quicker to order from Acumatica than Shopify.

 We would like these orders to be in Shopify so the customer can see the history and so our 3PL can fulfill those orders using our current workflow.  

Has anyone experience this or know of a work around, other than creating the order in Shopify.

@bryanb39  Shopify API doesn't allow to create 0$ order through APIs. 

@simonliang91  Could you please check if it is possible to create 0$ from Acumatica to Shopify? If not in Rest API, then may be using GQL.

Ah yes, that sound familiar.  So we may need to something like a penny of freight and write off in bulk periodically or with a BE for a quick fix.  I’m trying to get Customer Service and Marketing to use Acumatica more, this is a sticking point.

With the API it appears like we should be able to create a $0 order with a Discount Code. 

I was trying to use Export Mapping to use a enter a discount code or a discount amount into the discount fields in Shopify, but I’m getting the error: “Object reference not set to an instance of an object.” when syncing.  

Do you have suggestions on how to get that mapping to work?
