Is there anywhere I can access orders other than events.js?

Depends on what you want to do with the orders.

Wix Stores Backend API as you have stated.

Wix Stores app itself.

Wix Stores Orders Collection.

Sorry I wasn’t more exact, but I want to read the stores collection in a backend module. It does not work on any backend process except for events.js.

Also, why can you only do queries of orders in events.js and not like backend modules where I can only access other only admin things?

@givemeawhisky So thanks for responding before last night. So basically I haves wix stores and I have my own stores collection . When I get a neworder event. I create sort of duplicate in my orders table. This works great however. Wix had some issues yesterday which cause the a couple of the orders to not get in this table.
So I would like to have something in case this happens again where I just am able to re-push the event of sort of. so was going to create a process where if this happens I can just call re create order with order id and I will just read orders collection and get the info again and create new order in my table. Does this make sense?

@givemeawhisky Any response to this question?

That is a choice made by Wix themselves, you would have to ask them that directly, maybe Wix Mods or Admins in this forum can answer it better for you.

However, us Masters and Ninjas are just like you and are not working for Wix, so we can only go by what they give out to the public to use.

If you want something, add it to a feature request.

Finally, with regards to your last post, is this old forum post something that could work for you here or is similar to what you are doing already.
