Hi! From the docs, it seems it’s impossible as there is no DELETE endpoint for Abandoned Checkout. I’m wondering if there is a ‘disguised’ way of doing it? For example, could there be a hidden abandoned_checkout_id parameter that can be sent upon creating an order with the POST on /admin/orders? M…

Hi Adrien, Nope, no hidden way either. You can’t delete them via Admin UI either. In Admin UI you can archive an abandoned checkout, effectively closing it. That endpoint isn’t public though. Best wishes!

Thanks for the quick and precise answer Karl! That’s too bad, but I’ll try and find another way. All the best

I have the feeling that since it’s doable from the GUI backoffice with a few clicks, it m…

Any luck on trying to replicate the script the GUI is using? I am making an app that is very similar- using DraftOrders for custom-priced items and want to automate deleting abandoned checkouts. Thanks.

I haven’t gotten down to it yet but should look at it in the coming weeks, I’ll let you know!

I think I found where the endpoint lives, but the “abandoned_checkouts” scope isn’t accessible by Apps curl --location --request POST 'https://upscribe-demo.myshopify.com/admin/checkouts/{token}/close.json' --header 'X-Shopify-Access-Token: xxxx' { "errors": "Scope undefined for API access: ab…
