DraftOrderCreate - "Applied discount value can have at most 2 digits after decimal point"

Hello Shopify Community,

I’m currently working on integrating draft orders via the Shopify Admin API, and I need assistance with a mutation request for creating draft orders. However, I’m encountering the following error:

Error: “Applied discount value can have at most 2 digits after decimal point”

Here’s the mutation query I’m trying to use:

mutation DraftOrderCreate($input: DraftOrderInput!) {
  draftOrderCreate(input: $input) {
    draftOrder {
      id
    }
    userErrors {
      field
      message
    }
  }
}


payload = {
    "query": '''
        mutation DraftOrderCreate($input: DraftOrderInput!) {
            draftOrderCreate(input: $input) {
                draftOrder {
                    id
                }
                userErrors {
                    field
                    message
                }
            }
        }
    ''',
    "variables": {
        "input": {
            "email": "member@myapp.dev",
            "taxExempt": True,
            "tags": "myapp-order",

                        "value": 6.98, # This is where the error seems to occur

                    }
                }

                "phone": "xxxx",
                "city": "Rock",
                "province": "Iowa",
                "country": "United States",

            },
            "billingAddress": {

                "phone": "xxx",
                "city": "Rock",
                "province": "Iowa",
                "country": "United States",
                "zip": "51246"
            },
            "shippingLine": {
                "price": "5.95",
                "title": "Shipping"
            }
        }
    }
}
  • I’m getting the error related to the discount value having more than 2 digits after the decimal point, but the amount is already set to “6.98”. Are there any other issues that might cause this error?
  • Is there a way to ensure that the discount value is formatted correctly for Shopify’s API?

Thanks in advance for any guidance!
