Delivery Method for unfulfilled fulfillments

[developersam]

I’m reaching out to see if there is any solution for retrieving the Delivery Method for unfulfilled fulfillments using Shopify's GraphQL API or the Admin API. The delivery method (e.g., "Shipping") is visible in the Shopify UI for unfulfilled orders, but we have been unable to locate a direct way to access this information through the available APIs.

Additionally, if there are scenarios where each unfulfilled fulfillment has a different Delivery Method, what would be the best approach to handle and retrieve this data programmatically?

If you have any insights, suggestions, or alternative approaches to retrieve this data, I would appreciate your input.

We spent a while figuring this out as well. When orders are unfulfilled, the fulfillmentOrders kept returning an empty array in Shopify GraphQL Admin API.

Turns out it was a permission issue with the API key itself. We checked all permissions related to fulfillments and now we can query properly the fulfillmentOrders attributes even for unfulfilled orders.

fulfillmentOrders: [
  {
    deliveryMethod: { methodType: "PICK_UP" },
    assignedLocation: { location: { id: "gid://shopify/Location/64815530071", name: "Chicoutimi" } }
  }
]
