Hello All, Having trouble creating an order for an existing customer through the Shopify Api. Using Postman I am sending a POST request to: {store with auth}.myshopify.com/admin/orders.json My JSON formatted request is this: { "order": { "line_items": [ { "product_id": 633636…

It looks like you’d have to either load existing product data to confirm whether that product has any money attached to it.

Hi Matt, I don’t get an error using the same method, check that the variant actually exists because when I removed the product and tried to create the order I got back the same error but when the product was there I didn’t get any error and instead of “product_id” try using the variant ID.

Here’s the response with the product removed

We’ve seen the same message several times over the last few days, and I was about to post a question about it when I saw this one. I’m not certain if the product is missing in our case because our error logs didn’t include the original request. In any case, it’s a confusing message. Is this somethin…

Hi Simon, I don’t generally work with creating orders, rather gathering them and sending the data to suppliers.

Facing the same “money field cannot be nil” error here, even when I include a valid variant ID which has available inventory in my request like so: {“order”: {“line_items”: [{“variant_id”: 16088940052554, “quantity”: 1, “product_id”: 59139}], “customer”: {“first_name”: “", “last_name”: "”, “email”:…

Thanks for the reports, everyone. I’ve made an issue to track internally with the interest of making this error clearer to API consumers. The issue that you need to be concerned with is the invalid (or not provided) variant_id, and the error message should reflect as much. I’ll update this thread w…

Hi there! Im getting a similar error. For what is looks like, shopify isnt finding the product variant using the variant_id provided. However i made sure that product variant id is correct. Any ideas on why this might be happening? Thanks!

Thanks Nick, this solution worked! Even if a product doesn’t have variants, the API still requires that you use the variant.id.
