# New fields on the GraphQL Admin API's Shop object

You can now query `merchantApprovalSignals` on the `Shop` object to determine whether a merchant is pre-verified for onboarding to channel apps.

This query helps you to accelerate the process for onboarding approved merchants to sales channels.

For more information, refer to the [release notes](https://shopify.dev/api/release-notes/2021-10).
