# \[Checkout Branding API] Deprecation of transparent background

We're deprecating the `TRANSPARENT` value on the `CheckoutBrandingBackground` enum of the Admin GraphQL API `checkoutBranding` query and `checkoutBrandingUpsert` mutation. Use `BASE` or `SUBDUED` instead.

We will remove this value from the mutation input and the GraphQL API in the subsequent API version (`2024-07`). To prepare for the `2024-07` API version release, stop using the `TRANSPARENT` value.
