Update to the Order Phone Field in Admin API
As of Admin API version 2026-01, Shopify developers can now access and update the phone field through the orderUpdate mutation's OrderInput. This enhancement aligns the Admin API with the REST API, which already allowed phone field updates through the Order resource.
Key Benefits of the Phone Field Update
- Helps maintain accurate customer contact details for orders.
- Facilitates better communication via SMS notifications.
- Simplifies workflows by offering parity between the Admin and REST APIs.
Use Cases for the Updated Phone Field
This feature is especially useful for merchants and developers who rely on customer phone numbers for important communications, such as:
- Sending order and shipping updates via SMS.
- Resolving customer service issues more efficiently.
- Streamlining order management processes.
