How to cancel an Order's line item by using respective API?

[Abubakar8144]

I have an order with three line items. I want to cancel one line item. When I tried cancel one line item by using respective API, it cancelled the whole order. Kindly tell me how I can cancel one line item by using respective API?

Here is my example of cancel a whole order.

https://my development store.myshopify.com/admin/api/2021-10/orders/**bleep**/cancel.json

My Json request body:

{

    "order":{

        "order_id":**bleep**,

        "amount":"8400.00",

        "currency":"PKR",

        "email":true,

        "reason":"other",        

        "restock":true

    }

}

My objective is to cancel one line item by using respective API rather than canceling the whole order. Kindly help me in this problem.

Thanks in advance.

Hi @Abubakar8144 

You will want to use the refund_line_items field to specify the item(s) you want to cancel from the order. You can read more about refund fields here: https://shopify.dev/api/admin-rest/2021-10/resources/refund#[post]/admin/api/2021-10/orders/{order_i...

I have tried this refund_line_items field. It didn't work. It asks me to write the location_id but when I tried the get order call to see the location_id, it was set to null. Kindly tell me how I can get the location_id?

We can retrieve a list of locations and location id by using this API.

GET
