Access requirements

An order that a merchant creates on behalf of a customer. Draft orders are useful for merchants that need to do the following tasks:

  • Create new orders for sales made by phone, in person, by chat, or elsewhere. When a merchant accepts payment for a draft order, an order is created.
  • Send invoices to customers to pay with a secure checkout link.
  • Use custom items to represent additional costs or products that aren't displayed in a shop's inventory.
  • Re-create orders manually from active sales channels.
  • Sell products at discount or wholesale rates.
  • Take pre-orders.
  • Save an order as a draft and resume working on it later.

For draft orders in multiple currencies presentment_money is the source of truth for what a customer is going to be charged and shop_money is an estimate of what the merchant might receive in their shop currency.
