Edited order infomation by Storefront API

Retired Boards Appdev Customers Discounts And Orders

Topic summary

A user encountered an issue tracking order edits made through Shopify’s admin interface when retrieving order data via the Storefront API.

The Scenario:

  • Product A was manually removed and Product B was added to an existing order
  • Both products had the same price, resulting in no refund or additional charge
  • The order showed 2 line items (Products A and B) but financial_status indicated payment for only one product
  • total_line_items_price reflected the combined total of both products

The Problem:
While the changes displayed correctly in the Shopify admin console, the order object retrieved via Storefront API did not clearly indicate which product was removed or added, making it difficult to confirm the edit details programmatically.

Response:
Another user confirmed that order edit information is not available through any API, explaining the limitation the original poster encountered.

Does anyone know how to confirm the edited order infomation by storefront API in below case ?

The order was edited manually to change the variation of the product according to the following.

  1. Product A was removed from the order and Product B was added to the order.

  2. The order was updated.

Since Product A and B are same price, there were no refunds and charge to customer.

The change was confirmed crrectly on the order console in shopify.

But this change was difficult to confirm at the order object obtained by the storefront API.

  • total_line_items_price was same as the total of product A and B

  • There are 2 line_items for Product A and B.

  • financial_status was paid even the customer only paid for only one product.

  • There were no discription about product removal and addition.

Hey @kk29

Unfortunately order edit information isn’t available via any API.
