    location ID is tied to your inventory. First off, ensure you have set a location for your inventory. Second, make sure Shopify is set as your inventory management provider. If you now create an order for items managed by Shopify, you might see a location ID. Your test of creating a draft order like that might also not be fully integrated yet with Shopify locations? What happens when you book an order using the front end and not the API?

    location_id on an order will return null unless the order is made from a Shopify POS location in which case it will return the location_id associated with that location.

    See the guide on fulfillments: https://help.shopify.com/en/api/guides/managing-fulfillments

    To get locationId in order, need to pass inventoryQuantities input with location id and available quantity in productCreate Mutation.Then You will get locationId in order

    {
  "input": {
     "title": "Demo Product",
     "descriptionHtml": "des",
     "productType": "type",
     "vendor": "vendor",
     "handle": "abc1",
     "tags": ["tag1", "tag2"],
     "variants": [
        {
          "title": "small",
          "price": 100,
          "compareAtPrice": 110,
          "position": 1,
          "inventoryQuantities": {
              "availableQuantity": 100,
              "locationId": "gid://shopify/Location/55274340513"
           },
          "inventoryItem": {

    You can find location_id from the /admin/api/2021-04/locations.json API.

    You will get response like this:

    {
    "locations": [
        {
            "id": location_id,
            "name": "location_name",
            "address1": "location_address",
            "address2": null,
            "city": "Faisalabad",
            "zip": "38000",
            "province": "",
            "country": "PK",
            "phone": "",
            "created_at": "2021-02-25T15:34:18+05:00",
            "updated_at": "2021-02-25T15:34:20+05:00",
            "country_code": "PK",
            "country_name": "Pakistan",
            "province_code": null,
            "legacy": false,
            "active": true,
            "admin_graphql_api_id": "gid://shopify/Location/location_id",
            "localized_country_name": "Pakistan",
            "localized_province_name": null
