How to configure a flow to change order shipping location after it's sent?

Shopify Plus

Topic summary

Goal: Use Shopify Flow to reassign an order’s fulfillment location (inventory/ship-from location) based on ZIP after it was auto-assigned (e.g., reroute orders with ZIP 00145 from SEDE1 to SEDE02 so the Admin shows SEDE02 as the shipping location).

Update/clarification: A reply states the shipping address can be changed via Flow, while the billing address likely cannot. It references a how-to using Flow’s “Send HTTP Request” action to update the order address (link provided). This guidance targets address changes, not fulfillment location reassignment.

Status: No confirmed method was provided to change the fulfillment/shipping location via Flow after assignment. The shared resource pertains to modifying the shipping address only.

Open questions:

  • Can Shopify Flow (possibly via Admin API and Send HTTP Request) update an order’s assigned fulfillment location post-creation?
  • Are there constraints or permissions preventing location reassignment compared to address changes?

Attachments/links: The linked community post is central for implementing shipping address updates via HTTP Request.

Good morning,

I’m trying to change the location of an order via ZIP by forcing it with FLOW from one shipping location to another, does anyone know how to configure a flow so that AFTER the user has SENT the pre-assigned order to a shipping location the flow can have it changed to another shipping location with the ZIP in the flow?

EX: order from ZIP :00145 → auto-assigned from cart to SEDE1
FLOW that: from ZIP 00145 transform the shipping location in SEDE02 before the order sent in administration panel.

So I will have an order assigned to shipping location SEDE02 in administration order

Thank you

Correction: you can actually change the shipping address. I think it’s billing address you cannot change.

See this thread for how to do it with Send HTTP Request:
