# Draft​Order​Connection

connection

An auto-generated type for paginating through multiple DraftOrders.

## Fields with this connection

* [Company.draftOrders](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/objects/Company#field-Company.fields.draftOrders)

  OBJECT

  A business entity that purchases from the shop as part of B2B commerce. Companies organize multiple locations and contacts who can place orders on behalf of the organization. [`CompanyLocation`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/objects/CompanyLocation) objects can have custom pricing through [`Catalog`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/interfaces/Catalog) and [`PriceList`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/objects/PriceList) configurations.

* [Company​Contact.draftOrders](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/objects/CompanyContact#field-CompanyContact.fields.draftOrders)

  OBJECT

  A person who acts on behalf of a [`Company`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/objects/Company) to make B2B purchases. Company contacts are associated with [`Customer`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/objects/Customer) accounts and can place orders on behalf of their company.

  Each contact can be assigned to one or more [`CompanyLocation`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/objects/CompanyLocation) objects with specific roles that determine their permissions and access to catalogs, pricing, and payment terms configured for those locations.

* [Company​Location.draftOrders](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/objects/CompanyLocation#field-CompanyLocation.fields.draftOrders)

  OBJECT

  A location or branch of a [`Company`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/objects/Company) that's a customer of the shop. Company locations enable B2B customers to manage multiple branches with distinct billing and shipping addresses, tax settings, and checkout configurations.

  Each location can have its own [`Catalog`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/interfaces/Catalog) objects that determine which products are published and their pricing. The [`BuyerExperienceConfiguration`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/objects/BuyerExperienceConfiguration) determines checkout behavior including [`PaymentTerms`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/objects/PaymentTerms), and whether orders require merchant review. B2B customers select which location they're purchasing for, which determines the applicable catalogs, pricing, [`TaxExemption`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/enums/TaxExemption) values, and checkout settings for their [`Order`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/objects/Order) objects.

* [Customer​Merge​Preview​Default​Fields.draftOrders](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/objects/CustomerMergePreviewDefaultFields#field-CustomerMergePreviewDefaultFields.fields.draftOrders)

  OBJECT

  The fields that will be kept as part of a customer merge preview.

* [Shop.draftOrders](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/objects/Shop#field-Shop.fields.draftOrders)

  OBJECT
