# The `orderCancel` mutation now returns a structured `jobResult`

DateOctober 1, 2026

Affected APIs[Admin GraphQL API](https://shopify.dev/changelog?api_type=admin-graphql)

As of the `2026-10` [GraphQL Admin API](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest) version, the [`orderCancel`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/mutations/orderCancel) mutation returns a new `jobResult` field of type `OrderCancelJobResult`.

Order cancellations run asynchronously. The `jobResult` field provides a structured, cancellation-specific result, including the cancellation status, any errors, and the affected order. Use this field to check whether the cancellation completed successfully and to handle any errors.

Previously, the mutation only exposed the generic `job` field, which didn’t include cancellation-specific status or errors. The existing `job` field is unchanged and continues to work as before, so no action is required for existing integrations.
