object

Requires read_orders access scope, read_marketplace_orders access scope or read_quick_sale access scope.

The Order object represents a customer's request to purchase one or more products from a store. Use the Order object to handle the complete purchase lifecycle from checkout to fulfillment.

Use the Order object when you need to:

  • Display order details on customer account pages or admin dashboards.
  • Create orders for phone sales, wholesale customers, or subscription services.
  • Update order information like shipping addresses, notes, or fulfillment status.
  • Process returns, exchanges, and partial refunds.
  • Generate invoices, receipts, and shipping labels.

The Order object serves as the central hub connecting customer information, product details, payment processing, and fulfillment data within the GraphQL Admin API schema.


Note

Only the last 60 days' worth of orders from a store are accessible from the Order object by default. If you want to access older records, then you need to request access to all orders. If your app is granted access, then you can add the read_all_orders, read_orders, and write_orders scopes.



Caution

Only use orders data if it's required for your app's functionality. Shopify will restrict access to scopes for apps that don't have a legitimate use for the associated data.

•mutation

Marks an open Order as closed. A closed order is one where merchants fulfill or cancel all LineItem objects and complete all financial transactions.

Once closed, the order indicates that no further work is required. The order's closedAt timestamp is set when this mutation completes successfully.

Arguments

•OrderCloseInput!
required

The input for the mutation.


•mutation

Creates an order with attributes such as customer information, line items, and shipping and billing addresses.

Use the orderCreate mutation to programmatically generate orders in scenarios where orders aren't created through the standard checkout process, such as when importing orders from an external system or creating orders for wholesale customers.

The orderCreate mutation doesn't support applying multiple discounts, such as discounts on line items. Automatic discounts won't be applied unless you replicate the logic of those discounts in your custom implementation. You can apply a discount code, but only one discount code can be set for each order.


Note

If you're using the orderCreate mutation with a trial or development store, then you can create a maximum of five new orders per minute.


After you create an order, you can make subsequent edits to the order using one of the following mutations:

  • orderUpdate: Used for simple updates to an order, such as changing the order's note, tags, or customer information.
  • orderEditBegin: Used when you need to make significant updates to an order, such as adding or removing line items, changing quantities, or modifying discounts. The orderEditBegin mutation initiates an order editing session, allowing you to make multiple changes before finalizing them. Learn more about using the orderEditBegin mutation to edit existing orders.

Learn how to build apps that integrate with order management and fulfillment processes.

Arguments

•OrderCreateOrderInput!
required

The attributes of the new order.

Arguments

•ID!
required

The ID of the order to create a manual payment for.

The manual payment amount to be created.

•String

The name of the payment method used for creating the payment. If none is provided, then the default manual payment method ('Other') will be used.

•mutation

Marks an order as paid by recording a payment transaction for the outstanding amount.

Use the orderMarkAsPaid mutation to record payments received outside the standard checkout process. The orderMarkAsPaid mutation is particularly useful in scenarios where:

  • Orders were created with manual payment methods (cash on delivery, bank deposit, money order)
  • Payments were received offline and need to be recorded in the system
  • Previously authorized payments need to be captured manually
  • Orders require manual payment reconciliation due to external payment processing

The mutation validates that the order can be marked as paid before processing. An order can be marked as paid only if it has a positive outstanding balance and its financial status isn't already PAID. The mutation will either create a new sale transaction for the full outstanding amount or capture an existing authorized transaction, depending on the order's current payment state.

After successfully marking an order as paid, the order's financial status is updated to reflect the payment, and payment events are logged for tracking and analytics purposes.

Learn more about managing orders in apps.

Arguments

•OrderMarkAsPaidInput!
required

The input for the mutation.

If you need to make significant updates to an order, such as adding or removing line items, changing quantities, or modifying discounts, then use the orderEditBegin mutation instead. The orderEditBegin mutation initiates an order editing session, allowing you to make multiple changes before finalizing them. Learn more about using the orderEditBegin mutation to edit existing orders.

If you need to remove a customer from an order, then use the orderCustomerRemove mutation instead.

Learn how to build apps that integrate with order management and fulfillment processes.

Arguments

The refundCreate mutation supports various refund scenarios:

  • Refunding line items with optional restocking
  • Refunding shipping costs
  • Refunding duties and import taxes
  • Refunding additional fees
  • Processing refunds through different payment methods
  • Issuing store credit refunds (when enabled)

You can create both full and partial refunds, and optionally allow over-refunding in specific cases.

After creating a refund, you can track its status and details through the order's refunds field. The refund is associated with the order and can be used for reporting and reconciliation purposes.

Learn more about managing returns and refunding duties.


Note

The refunding behavior of the refundCreate mutation is similar to the refundReturn mutation. The key difference is that the refundCreate mutation lets you to specify restocking behavior for line items, whereas the returnRefund mutation focuses solely on handling the financial refund without any restocking input.
