Square API: Null order id for Transaction

I'm using Square for a restaurant and trying to get a count of how many chicken wings sold for a day. We sell it in 5pc, 10pc, 20pc orders so I was hoping to pull the quantities for each so I could sum it up.

I'm using Java and tried the TransactionsApi to retrieve transactions but these all return an order_id of null.

Is there something I'm missing or is there a better way to do this?

order_id will only be supplied if you supply it while calling the Charge endpoint. You would need to actually use the CreateOrder endpoint, and supply the items, and then supply the order_id to the Charge endpoint. See https://docs.connect.squareup.com/articles/orders-api-overview for more information.

Currently the only way to see itemization when using the POS application for in-person payments, is to use the V1 Payments API. See https://docs.connect.squareup.com/articles/orders-api-overview to review the endpoints.
