Automating Order Status Updates

Use `update_order_status` to programmatically change an order's status. Pass the order ID and a new string, like "Processed." Your script runs this command headless, updating Snipcart without any GUI. This is perfect for CI/CD pipelines where you need to trigger fulfillment updates based on external system events.

Retrieving Customer Details via Terminal

To get a user's profile, execute `get_customer_details(id)` in your shell script. The output is piped directly as JSON, making it easy to parse into your backend logic. You can then use this data alongside other tools like `list_subscriptions` for bulk checks.

Listing and Managing All E-commerce Orders

Start the process by running `list_orders()` to pull all e-commerce order records into your script's standard output. This is ideal for nightly cron jobs. You can then loop through those IDs and run `get_order_details(id)` on each one for comprehensive data logging.
