Is there any MAX limit of draft orders (will be created by a Shopify Custom App) for a live store?
Topic summary
A user inquired about maximum limits for draft orders created through a Shopify Custom App.
Key Points:
- Shopify does not specify a hard maximum limit on draft orders created via custom apps
- Performance considerations exist: thousands of draft orders may slow down the admin panel and affect overall store performance
- Automatic cleanup: Shopify deletes draft orders after 90 days if they remain unpaid and unconverted to actual orders
The question appears answered, though no official documentation was cited regarding the lack of explicit limits.
@abhisek Shopify does not state a maximum limit on the number of draft orders that can be created via a custom app. Having thousands of draft orders could slow down the admin panel and impact store performance. Shopify automatically deletes draft orders that remain unpaid and unconverted to real orders after 90 days.
