Inputs
Pipedream supplies the connected account. Your application provides the operation-specific values below. Dynamic inputs are resolved against that user's account.
| Property | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
orderId Order ID | string | The identifier of an order Required Dynamic |
returnLineItems Return Line Items | string | JSON array of return line items. Each item requires fulfillmentLineItemId (GID), quantity, and returnReason (a required ReturnReason enum value: UNKNOWN, DEFECTIVE, NOT_AS_DESCRIBED, WRONG_ITEM, UNWANTED, SIZE_TOO_SMALL, SIZE_TOO_LARGE, STYLE, COLOR, or OTHER). When returnReason is OTHER, also provide returnReasonNote. Example: [{"fulfillmentLineItemId": "gid://shopify/FulfillmentLineItem/111", "quantity": 1, "returnReason": "UNKNOWN"}]. Required |
additionalReturnFields Additional Return Fields | object | JSON object of additional fields such as exchangeLineItems, requestedAt, or returnShippingFee. Example: {"requestedAt": "2026-01-15T00:00:00Z"}. Optional |
