Draft Order Unable to Update Attributes, Note or Metafields

Retired Boards Appdev Extensions

After upgrading to API 2024-07 (as specified in the 2024-07 update) and checking the required cart instructions, we noticed that the UI components are now appearing on the draft order checkout page. However, I have encountered two issues:

  1. We’re unable to query the Storefront API. The API returns a 403 error with the message “Channel not found for the given token.” The same API call works fine for regular orders.
  2. The attributes “instructions.attributes.canUpdateAttributes,” “instructions.notes.canUpdateNote” and “instructions.metafields.canSetCartMetafields” always return false. We’re unsure if this is by design. If it is, are there any workarounds? If it is not, what are we doing wrong?

I would like to know the answer to this as well, as we haev an app installed that uses Draft Orders to manage the checkout, which will impact an extension we are using that needs to save attributes.

Shopify customer service has responded with the following information:

  1. They have confirmed that this is a bug and are writing a PR to fix it.
  2. canUpdateAttributes will keep returning false for draft orders for the foreseeable future. The reason for this is that draft orders don’t support all checkout features at the moment but are under active development.
