What this operation supports in Mailchimp
Records a new order through Mailchimp's e-commerce integration, tied to a connected store and customer.
Implementation details
This is part of Mailchimp's e-commerce data model, which links orders to customers and products for purchase-based segmentation and revenue reporting.
Operational considerations
This requires an e-commerce store already connected to the Mailchimp account -- it's not a general-purpose order record, but specifically feeds Mailchimp's store and customer revenue data.
