Can my AI agent update order statuses — like marking an order as shipped?

Yes. The add_order_history tool pushes a new status entry to any order. Provide the order ID, the OpenCart status ID (e.g., 3 for Shipped), and an optional comment. The status change appears immediately in the admin panel and triggers any configured email notifications.

Does it work with any OpenCart version?

This integration uses the native OpenCart REST API available in OpenCart 2.x and later. If your store is running OpenCart 1.x, the API endpoints won't be available. For OpenCart 3.x and 4.x, the API user setup is the same — just ensure the API user is enabled in System > Users > API.

What about IP restrictions — will the API reject requests?

OpenCart's API enforces an IP whitelist by default. When creating your API user, add the IP address of your server to the 'IP Addresses' tab. If you're running through a cloud proxy, add that proxy's IP. Without this step, all API requests will be rejected with a permission error.
