# draft_order_create

> Create a draft order, the way to build an order by hand before it is placed. A draft holds no inventory until it is completed.

<div className="tool-route"><span className="tool-row-method" data-method="POST">POST</span><code>{"/admin/api/2026-07/graphql.json"}</code></div>

```python shopify_draft_order_create.py theme={null}
from charter.packs import shopify

result = await shopify.draft_order_create.ainvoke({"variables": ...})
```

<Note>
  Posts a GraphQL document to `POST /admin/api/2026-07/graphql.json`, as every tool in this pack does.
