Public Apps

All public apps built on existing GraphQL product APIs or REST product APIs must migrate to the new GraphQL product APIs by Feb 1st, 2025.

Due to this requirement, we making next changes to your existing importers (data flows) based on version of Shopify you are using.

Shopify legacy sources: Shopify-v1 & Shopify-v2 

Shopify-v1 source:  this migration will not affect such importers (data flows).

You use Shopify-v1 legacy source if your Shopify importer (data flow) requires to specify API key /token /password in settings. I.e.:

Shopify-v2 source:  this migration will affect such importers (data flows). See details below.

1. Source is visible as Shopify (legacy) on Importer (data flow) view page:

   

2. Source requires to connect and select Shopify Account during editing:

   

What will happen with data flows that use Shopify-v2 legacy source:

• We will migrate your importers (data flows) with Products data entity to newest Shopify source version that uses GraphQL.

Visible changes for your importers:

• Columns difference:
  • Due to the different outputs in different Shopify APIs, most of columns will have different names and some will be missed after this migration. Detailed list of changes.
• Settings difference:
  • Shopify GraphQL source will not have filter by Collection Id, so all your products will be returned after migration.
  • Shopify GraphQL source has no Columns picker, so all columns available will be returned after migration.
