I just discovered a new FulfillmentOrder status in production called “start”. It’s not documented https://shopify.dev/api/admin-rest/2022-10/resources/fulfillmentorder
Topic summary
A new, undocumented FulfillmentOrder status called “start” has been discovered in production. This status does not appear in the official Shopify API documentation for FulfillmentOrder resources. The discovery raises questions about:
- Purpose and meaning of this new status
- When it gets triggered in the fulfillment workflow
- Whether it’s intentional or a bug
- Impact on existing integrations that may not handle this unexpected status
The issue appears unresolved, with no official explanation provided yet. Developers working with fulfillment workflows should be aware of this undocumented status appearing in their systems.
