Draft Orders

You can use the DraftOrder resource to allow merchants to create orders on behalf of customers. This is useful for Shopify merchants who receive orders through outside channels and enables a wide range of use cases including the following:

  • Create new orders for sales made by phone, in person, via chat, or by other means. Credit card payments for these orders can subsequently be entered in the Shopify admin.
  • 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 mistaken orders.
  • Sell products at discount or wholesale rates.
  • Take pre-orders.
