# App Revenue Attribution Record API Depreciated

As of **October 2023**, the App Revenue Attribution API has been removed.

### What does this mean?

`appRevenueAttributionRecordCreate` and `appRevenueAttributionRecordDelete` are no longer supported in this and future API versions.

### What are the alternatives?

This change removes tracking for external app revenue attributions that occur outside of the Billing API. Partners can now use [Google Analytics to track Shopify App Store Ads installs](https://www.shopify.com/partners/blog/google-analytics-app-install-event) - which can be linked to external app revenue to calculate ad related return on ad spend and other ads related metrics.
