Shopify Deprecates Legacy APIs: Is Your Custom Integration Ready for an Upgrade?

17 Oct 2024

Earlier this year, Shopify announced the deprecation of several legacy APIs, including certain REST API endpoints, along with the introduction of new GraphQL product APIs, which will affect many custom integrations. Instead of investing time and resources into re-writing custom code to align with Shopify’s new GraphQL product APIs, now is the perfect opportunity to transition to iPaaS.com for a more scalable, flexible, and reliable integration solution.

Shopify API Deprecation Timeline

On April 1, 2024, Shopify began rolling out the 2024-04 API release, bringing significant changes to its API landscape:

  • Removal of Product Management via REST and GraphQL: The new GraphQL product APIs will replace both the ProductInput object (for variants and options) and the /products and /variants REST API endpoints. This marks a transition to a more streamlined API experience that leverages GraphQL’s efficiency and performance.
  • Migration Deadlines:
    • Public Apps: By February 1, 2025, all public apps utilizing the existing GraphQL or REST product APIs must be updated to the new GraphQL product APIs.
    • Custom Apps:
      • GraphQL: Custom apps built with existing GraphQL product APIs must migrate to the new GraphQL product APIs by April 1, 2025.
      • REST: For REST-based custom apps, the choice to migrate depends on variant requirements:
        • Apps supporting over 100 variants must migrate to the new GraphQL product APIs.
        • Apps supporting 100 variants or fewer may continue to use the deprecated REST product APIs for now.
