Create Order Using REST API in Magento 2

In order to create an order in Magento 2 using REST API, the client needs to submit the payment information through a POST request to Magento 2 along with the customer token. It returns the order id in response, which marks the order creation. An example of the same is provided below:

Method: POST

• Bearer Token: <customer_token>

Body:

{
    "paymentMethod": {
                "method": "checkmo"
     },
