Need to update location of order using order API before fulfillment

[Roop]

Hi,

Is there a way to update the location of order using parameter "location_id" in shopify order API. ( https://shopify.dev/docs/admin-api/rest/reference/orders/order#update-2020-01 )

I tried to update location but it is not updating it. The only way to update the location till now I think is using fulfillment API. 

But I want to automatically update location after placement of order or before placement of order without fulfillment. 

Let me know if there is any solution for this.

Hey @Roop ,

You cannot update this field for the Order resource as it is used to identify the physical location where the Order was purchased. The "location_id" field for the Order is only present if the Order was placed through Shopify POS location. In this case, the "location_id" will be set to the ID of the Shopify POS location. Orders placed online will always have a "location_id" of null as they do not refer to a physical location. 

There is also a "location_id" for the Fulfillment resource and for "Inventory" resource, but they refer to different things. The "location_id" of the Fulfillment resource represents the unique identifier of the location that the fulfillment should be processed for, not necessarily the physical location where the order was purchased.

We are looking for this API either REST or GRAPHQL.
