Call to Grahql to get fulfillmentId returns null even though I have locations configured as fulfillments

GraphQL Admin API Troubleshooting
,
1

I am migrating from REST to Graphql, the rest code is well established and has been is use for over 5 years, so I am not new to shopify, but new to the graphQl.

I am using the shopify graph ql app to generate a query…

{
shop {
name
}
locations(first: 10) {
edges {
node {
fulfillmentService {
id
location {
id
}
}
id
}
}
}
}

The reponse is coming back as;

{
“data”: {
“shop”: {
“name”: “my Store”
},
“locations”: {
“edges”: [
{
“node”: {
“fulfillmentService”: null,
“id”: “gid://shopify/Location/27403589”
}
},
{
“node”: {
“fulfillmentService”: null,
“id”: “gid://shopify/Location/76871139380”
}
}
]
}
},

suggesting I have no fulfillment services set up ?

Hi Jason,

It’s possible the locations are not configured as fulfilment services, if you run this, you should see if the locations are set up as fulfillment services and get additional details about the fulfillment service, if available.

   query {
     locations(first: 10) {
       edges {
         node {
           id
           name
           isFulfillmentService
           fulfillmentService {
             id
             serviceName
             type
           }
         }
       }
     }
   }

Thanks Liam, they both come back as false.
I have made them both fulfillment inventory locations and added a shipping service.
Note this is my test shop, not a live one - they work ok at the moment using rest.

If I do a similar call adding , shipsInventory, that comes back as true. I am getting the two mixed up?

So a location might be used for shipping inventory directly to customers but is not configured as a third-party or manual fulfillment service in Shopify’s system.

Fulfilment services will show up here on the admin:

Hi there,

I need some help with this issue.

I’m currently migrating from the REST Admin API to the GraphQL Admin API, and I’ve noticed a difference in how fulfillment service locations are returned.

In my store, I have third-party fulfillment services (e.g., Red Stag Fulfillment, ShipBob Fulfillment).

When I use the REST API, I can retrieve all locations — including fulfillment service locations — successfully:

GET /admin/api/2023-10/locations.json

However, when I query the GraphQL Admin API, I only see Shopify-managed locations.
The custom/third-party fulfillment service locations do not appear.

Here’s the GraphQL query I’m using:

{
  locations(first: 50) {
    edges {
      node {
        id
        name
        address {
          address1
          city
          province
          country
          zip
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

This only returns Shopify locations and seems to filter out fulfillment service locations automatically.

Question:

Is this the expected behavior for the GraphQL API?
If so, is there any way to include or query third-party fulfillment service locations (like those returned by the REST API)?

Thanks in advance for your help! :folded_hands:
