The [`cartToken`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/2026-07/objects/order#field-Order.fields.cartToken) field is now available on the GraphQL Admin API's `Order` object. This field returns the token associated with the cart that was used to create the order, matching the existing `cart_token` field in the REST Admin API.
