# Shopify Protect protection status on Admin API

As of the latest `unstable` version and upcoming `2023-10` version of the Admin GraphQL API, you can use the `shopifyProtect` field of `Order` to view the protection status of Shop Pay orders. The protection status is established asynchronous from the `orders/create` webhook so you can also listen to the `orders/shopify_protect_eligibility_changed` webhook to know when the protection status is created or updated.

By providing a clear view of an order’s protection status, we're empowering developers to make more informed decisions. For instance, fraud protection apps can avoid redundant costs for merchants when a Shop Pay order is already protected.
