How to view entire order status using Shopify GraphQL API?

  • Archiving: use the query filter status:closed to return archived (closed) orders.

Hi there,

using Shopify GraphQL admin API I can get order financial status and fulfillment status — but I can’t find how can I see the entire order status, I can’t see if the order was cancelled, archived, etc.

How can I get that status?

Hello @VladimirTs ,

For cancellation, once you find the order to cancel, add ‘cancelReason’ and ‘cancelledAt’ fields in the GraphQL API. If these fields are not null in the response, then the order is considered cancelled.(https://prnt.sc/d2Zw6t7NVpKL)

For archiving, you can include ‘status:closed’ in the query to retrieve all archived data.(https://prnt.sc/qYTOy46EKxl5)
