As of Admin API 2025-04, we have introduced a new field `requiresShippingMethod` on the [fulfillmentServiceCreate](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/2025-04/mutations/fulfillmentServiceCreate) and [fulfillmentServiceUpdate](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/2025-04/mutations/fulfillmentServiceUpdate) mutations to bring these mutations in line with their REST API equivalents.
