# Moving the Shop.fulfillmentOrders connection to QueryRoot

As of the **2023-01** release of the admin GraphQL, you can access fulfillment orders from `QueryRoot.fulfillmentOrders` in addition to the pre-existing `Shop.fulfillmentOrders` connection.

This change will also include the deprecation of the `Shop.fulfillmentOrders` query in favour of the newly added `QueryRoot.fulfillmentOrders`

This change aligns with direction of the admin API moving forward ensuring that domain primitives are available on `QueryRoot` and the `Shop` field is reserved for key information related to the shop in the scope of the request.
