AddOrder API - promocode ignored

[aquiss]

Can anyone else confirm that 'promocode' is being ignored in the AddOrder API?

Regardless if a pass a variable or hard set to an exact known promotion, it's being ignored upon the order being built.

 

$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'url');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,
    http_build_query(
        array(
            'action' => 'AddOrder',
            'username' => '',
            'password' => '',
            'clientid' => "$clientid",
            'pid' => "$package_billing_id",
            'domain' => "$username",
            'billingcycle' => 'monthly',
            'promocode' => "$package_offer_billing_promocode",
            'paymentmethod' => "$set_payment",
            'noinvoice' => 'true',
            'noinvoiceemail' => 'true',
            'noemail' => 'true',
            'noinvoice' => 'true',
            'responsetype' => 'json',
        )
    )
);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
$response = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);

I checked with LocalAPI, and it works just fine for me. Have you tried setting promocode directly instead of passing it through a variable?

You  could also try setting 'promooverride'.

It turned out to be my error. I was thinking it was the internal ID, when actually you just need to pass the promocode that has been set in admin.

eg: If promocode in admin was 3MONTHSFREE, then in the AddOrder API, the code would be

'promocode' => "3MONTHSFREE",
