Edit existing orders

• Your app can make authenticated requests to the GraphQL Admin API.

• Your app has the write_order_edits access scope.

• You've met Shopify's protected customer data requirements.

• You're editing an order that was placed in your store currency.

  Your store currency is the currency that's used in your Shopify admin to price products and display reports. Editing orders placed in international currencies requires you to upgrade to Checkout Extensibility.

• You're editing an order that was placed after January 1, 2019. You can't edit archived orders or orders placed before January 1st, 2019.

The orderEditBegin mutation is the first step in editing an order. The orderEditBegin mutation creates a CalculatedOrder object, which tracks the edits that you want to make to the order.

The following example shows how to pass the order's ID to the orderEditBegin mutation and request the ID of the CalculatedOrder object as a return field:

After you have the CalculatedOrder object ID, you can make the following types of edits to the order:

• Add a new variant
• Add a discount to the variant
• Remove a discount from a variant
• Update a discount from a variant
• Add a custom line item
• Edit line item quantity
• Remove a line item
• Add a new shipping line
• Update a newly added shipping line
• Remove a shipping line

Add a new product variant to an order with the orderEditAddVariant mutation.

The following example adds a new product variant with a quantity of three to the order:

In the mutation's input, include the CalculatedOrder object ID, the variant ID and the variant quantity. Request the ID of the added line items using the addedLineItems field to verify that our variant was added correctly.

Add a fixed amount or percentage discount to a line item with the orderEditAddLineItemDiscount mutation.

In the mutation's input, include the CalculatedOrder object ID, the line item ID, and the OrderEditAppliedDiscountInput inputs.

Remove a fixed amount or percentage discount from a line item with the orderEditRemoveDiscount mutation.

In the mutation's input, include the CalculatedOrder object ID and the discountApplicationId.

Update a fixed amount or percentage discount from a line item with the orderEditUpdateDiscount mutation.

In the mutation's input, include the CalculatedOrder object ID, discountApplicationId and the OrderEditAppliedDiscountInput inputs.

Add a custom line item to an order with the orderEditAddCustomItem mutation.

The following example adds a custom line item to the order for gift wrapping.

In the mutation's input, include the CalculatedOrder ID, line item title, quantity, and price in the orderEditAddCustomItem field. In the response, request the added line item’s ID, title, and quantity to verify that the custom line item was added correctly.

You can use the orderEditSetQuantity mutation to adjust the line item quantity to add an additional gift wrapping service to the order.

In the mutation's input, include the order id, lineItemId, and the new quantity value that you want to set. In the response, request the ID and quantity of the line items to verify that the line item quantity was updated correctly.

You can remove any line item using the orderEditSetQuantity mutation. You can effectively remove a line item by setting its quantity to zero.

In the mutation’s input, include the CalculatedOrder object ID, the lineItemId for the line item you want to remove, and set the quantity value to be 0. In the response, request the ID and quantity of line items to verify that the line item you wanted to remove has its quantity updated to 0.

You can add a custom shipping line using the orderEditAddShippingLine mutation.

In the mutation's input, include the CalculatedOrder object ID, a shipping line title, and a price in the orderEditAddShippingLineInput input.

You can update a newly added shipping line using the orderEditUpdateShippingLine mutation.

In the mutation's input, include the CalculatedOrder object ID, the shippingLineId, and an updated shipping line title or an updated price in the orderEditUpdateShippingLineInput input.

You can remove any shipping line using the orderEditRemoveShippingLine mutation.

In the mutation's input, include the CalculatedOrder object ID, and the shippingLineId for the shipping line that you want to remove in the orderEditRemoveShippingLine input.

When you're satisfied with your changes, you can commit them to the order with the orderEditCommit mutation. The orderEditCommit mutation commits the changes tracked by the CalculatedOrder object to the order.

In the mutation's input, include the CalculatedOrder object ID, the staffNote field, and the notifyCustomer field set to false. If notifyCustomer is set to true, then an email invoice with the updated order information is sent to the customer.

To be notified when an order is edited, subscribe your app the orders/edited webhook. The webhook is triggered whenever an order edit is completed.
