Ready for Shopify's API Shift? iPaaS.com’s Version 1.9 Integration is Here
As Shopify progresses and adapts its platform, iPaaS.com remains at the forefront of supporting these transformations. With Shopify announcing the shift from REST APIs to more efficient GraphQL APIs, we are committed to aligning our Shopify integration accordingly. This transition reflects Shopify’s aim to deprecate REST APIs by February 2025, a change that iPaaS.com is fully prepared for with the upcoming release of version 1.9 of our Shopify integration in December 2024.
Key Updates and Enhancements in iPaaS.com Shopify Integration Version 1.9
1. Transition to GraphQL APIs:
The new version supports GraphQL APIs exclusively as Shopify phases out REST APIs. This change is significant because it ensures that our integrations are more streamlined and capable of handling more complex queries efficiently.
2. Addressing Deprecated Fields:
Certain fields, such as 'Grams', 'PublishedScope', and 'Options 1, 2, and 3', have been deprecated in the shift to GraphQL. These fields will no longer be supported in the new API, necessitating adjustments in how data is managed and integrated.
3. New Requirements and Changes:
The integration now includes Channel Assignments, reflecting Shopify’s new requirements. Additionally, the 'Requires Shipping' field has been modified to 'InventoryLevel_RequiresShipping', which will require adjustments in our clients' data handling strategies.
4. Enhanced Features for Product Variants:
Our integration now includes support for batch variants, which accommodates Shopify’s enhanced capability to support a higher number of variants per product. This feature speeds up the transfer and management of large batches of product variants, significantly improving efficiency.
5. Integration of External Image URLs into Shopify:
A notable feature of version 1.9 is the ability to submit image URLs from external systems like ERP, POS, and PIM directly into Shopify. This allows for seamless submission and storage of images in Shopify accounts, streamlining the process of updating product visuals and enhancing product listings.
Staying Ahead with iPaaS.com
The release of iPaaS.com’s Shopify integration version 1.9 in December 2024 allows our clients to test and transition to the new dataflows before the old REST APIs are discontinued. This proactive approach prepares our clients for upcoming changes and ensures they can continue operating smoothly and efficiently without disruption.
