A successful response to an idempotent request returns the HTTP 200 OK
status code with a JSON response body that shows order details.
A successful request returns the HTTP 201 Created
status code and a JSON response body that includes by default a minimal response with the ID, status, and HATEOAS links. If you require the complete order resource representation, you must pass the Prefer: return=representation
request header. This header value is not the default.

Updates an order with a CREATED
or APPROVED
status. You cannot update an order with the COMPLETED
status.
To make an update, you must provide a reference_id
. If you omit this value with an order that contains only one purchase unit, PayPal sets the value to default
which enables you to use the path: "/purchase_units/@reference_id=='default'/{attribute-or-object}"
. Merchants and partners can add Level 2 and 3 data to payments to reduce risk and payment processing costs. For more information about processing payments, see checkout or multiparty checkout.
