Affected APIs[POS Extensions](https://shopify.dev/changelog?api_type=pos-extensions)

As of January 20, 2025, we will release the [Print API](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/pos-ui-extensions/2025-01/apis/print-api) for Point of Sale UI Extensions.

The Print API enables document printing functionality in your Point of Sale (POS) extension. Use this API to trigger the native print dialog so that retail merchants can generate and preview documents before printing.
