With the Shopify script editor, I can modify the price of a line item, reducing it from 10 to, for example, 5. However, I haven’t found this option in the new API. Is this functionality available, or are there plans to support it without resorting to automatic discounts or gift cards?
Topic summary
Main issue: Ability to directly change a line item’s price in Shopify via the Admin API.
Context: The author previously used Shopify Script Editor to override a line item price at checkout (e.g., reducing a price from 10 to 5). They cannot find an equivalent capability in the newer API.
Clarifications: “Line item price” refers to the per-product price in a cart or order. The author wants a direct price override, not an adjustment achieved through Automatic Discounts or Gift Cards.
Request: Confirmation on whether the Admin API currently supports direct line item price modification, and if not, whether this is on the roadmap.
Status: No answers or official guidance provided in the thread. No code snippets or attachments are central. The question remains open with the key unknown being whether Shopify will add native support for direct line item price overrides in the Admin API.
