What Is Changing?
We are officially removing the Shop.draftOrders connection in the Shopify GraphQL Admin API. This endpoint has been deprecated for some time and will no longer be accessible as part of Shopify's efforts to improve API efficiency and modernize functionality.
Why Is This Change Happening?
The goal of this update is to streamline the API architecture by removing redundant or outdated connections, thereby improving the performance and usability of the API for developers and merchants alike.
What Do You Need to Do?
To ensure your applications continue working without interruption, developers should update their integrations to use the QueryRoot.draftOrders endpoint. This endpoint provides robust functionality for retrieving multiple draft orders and is the recommended replacement for Shop.draftOrders.
How to Prepare Your Integrations
- Review your codebase and identify all references to
Shop.draftOrders. - Replace those references with the
QueryRoot.draftOrdersendpoint. - Test your updated application to ensure proper functionality and performance.
- Refer to the official Shopify developer documentation for detailed examples and best practices.
- If you encounter issues, contact the Shopify developer support team for assistance.
