I am creating an order using shopify rest admin api with the financial_status= ‘pending’. Here in the request body giving payment_terms like below. But in the order response always getting payment_terms null.
Isn’t it possible to give payment_terms while creating an order using financial_status = ‘pending’?

"payment_terms": {
    "amount": 70,
    "currency": "CAD",
    "payment_terms_name": "NET_30",
    "payment_terms_type": "NET",
    "due_in_days": 30,
    "payment_schedules": [
      {
        "amount": 70,
        "currency": "CAD",
        "issued_at": "2023-07-10T13:02:43-04:00",
        "due_at": "2023-08-29T13:02:43-04:00",
        "completed_at": "null",
        "expected_payment_method": "shopify_payments"
      }
    ]
  },
