Is there a good way to receive information when customer makes an order?
Judging from the documentation, there isn't. I know there are some apps related to managing payments on Etsy, and I believe they would depend on order feed.
If Etsy does not provide such feed, how would you solve this? My first idea is to periodically poll the API and request the orders. From there, understand if new order/s happened.
Your help is appreciated.
Currently, there is no straight forward, documented way to subscribe to the "new order created" event. I was hoping this would be one of the must have features on the new API v3, but unfortunately it isn't implemented so far.
