order

query

The order query retrieves an order by its ID. This query provides access to comprehensive order information such as customer details, line items, financial data, and fulfillment status.

Use the order query to retrieve information associated with the following processes:

You can only retrieve the last 60 days worth of orders from a store by default. If you want to access older orders, then you need to request access to all orders.

For large order datasets, consider using bulk operations. Bulk operations handle pagination automatically and allow you to retrieve data asynchronously without being constrained by API rate limits. Learn more about creating orders and building order management apps.

•Order

The Order object represents a customer's request to purchase one or more products from a store. Use the Order object to handle the complete purchase lifecycle from checkout to fulfillment.

Use the Order object when you need to:

  • Display order details on customer account pages or admin dashboards.
  • Create orders for phone sales, wholesale customers, or subscription services.
  • Update order information like shipping addresses, notes, or fulfillment status.
  • Process returns, exchanges, and partial refunds.
  • Generate invoices, receipts, and shipping labels.

The Order object serves as the central hub connecting customer information, product details, payment processing, and fulfillment data within the GraphQL Admin API schema.

Note

Only the last 60 days' worth of orders from a store are accessible from the Order object by default. If you want to access older records, then you need to request access to all orders. If your app is granted access, then you can add the read_all_orders, read_orders, and write_orders scopes.

Caution

Only use orders data if it's required for your app's functionality. Shopify will restrict access to scopes for apps that don't have a legitimate use for the associated data.
