DraftOrderCreatePayload

The created draft order.

The list of errors that occurred from executing the mutation.

Creates a draft order with attributes such as customer information, line items, shipping and billing addresses, and payment terms. Draft orders are useful for merchants that need to:

• 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 with a secure checkout link.
• Use custom items to represent additional costs or products not in inventory.
• Re-create orders manually from active sales channels.
• Sell products at discount or wholesale rates.
• Take pre-orders.

After creating a draft order, you can:

• Send an invoice to the customer using the draftOrderInvoiceSend mutation.
• Complete the draft order using the draftOrderComplete mutation.
• Update the draft order using the draftOrderUpdate mutation.
• Duplicate a draft order using the draftOrderDuplicate mutation.
• Delete the draft order using the draftOrderDelete mutation.

Note: When you create a draft order, you can&#39;t <a href="https://shopify.dev/docs/apps/build/orders-fulfillment/inventory-management-apps#inventory-states">reserve or hold inventory</a> for the items in the order by default. However, you can reserve inventory using the <a href="https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/mutations/draftOrderCreate#arguments-input.fields.reserveInventoryUntil"><code><span class="PreventFireFoxApplyingGapToWBR">reserve<wbr/>Inventory<wbr/>Until</span></code></a> input.
