Why when I add an item to a draft order does it not automatically reserve the item? Is there a way to make sure any item in an order is reserved?

To ensure that items are reserved when added to a draft order, you might consider these approaches:

  • Manual Reservation: After creating a draft order, manually adjust the inventory level to reserve the items. This can be done by temporarily reducing the inventory count of the item until the draft order is completed.

  • Use an App: There are apps available in the Shopify App Store designed to manage inventory reservations and hold stock for draft orders. Look for apps that offer inventory management features and see if they meet your needs.

  • Custom Solution: If you have technical resources, you could create a custom solution using Shopify’s API to reserve inventory when a draft order is created. This would involve some development work to automatically adjust stock levels.
