API-created draft orders not visible in Shopify POS
Merchants in the hospitality sector cannot see draft orders created via API within the Shopify POS interface, unlike those created manually in the admin. This forces staff to manually re-enter items into the POS, breaking the workflow for table management and digital ordering systems.

the draft order doesn’t appear in Shopify POS
The only missing piece is Shopify surfacing API-created draft orders in POS the same way it surfaces admin-created ones.
I built one but have to manually input each item into the POS.
