How to get delivery method for particular order using shopify api

Technical Q&A

Topic summary

Goal: Obtain the delivery method for a specific Shopify order via the REST API.

  • Issue: Fetching orders did not include the delivery method; guidance requested on the correct endpoint. An image was attached for context, but details aren’t essential to the solution.

  • Update: The delivery method is not returned on the Orders endpoint. It can be retrieved from the FulfillmentOrder resource.

    • Use the Admin REST API endpoint: GET /admin/api/2024-10/orders/{order_id}/fulfillment_orders.json
    • The field “delivery_method” is included on each FulfillmentOrder associated with the order.
    • Reference: Shopify docs link provided for FulfillmentOrder API (2024-10).

  • Status: A concrete direction was provided (use FulfillmentOrder API). No confirmation from the original requester yet, so resolution is likely but not explicitly verified.
