Place Order
Finalises a fully prepared draft cart into a real order — the same flow as the admin Create-Order screen's place-order step. Items, addresses, shipping and payment must already be set on the draft cart.
Select result fields, not id
Select orderId (the new order's id), incrementId, customerId, grandTotal, success, message. Do not select id (or _id): this is an action result with no addressable record, so the auto-generated IRI field is null and selecting it errors out the whole payload.
Prerequisites — The example uses an illustrative cart id. Admin cart endpoints only operate on draft carts (is_active=0) — storefront carts are rejected. Create a draft cart first with the createAdminDraftCart mutation and use the returned cartId.
