# Prepare for IPv6 adoption for Storefront domains

In preparation for supporting IPv6 on storefront domains, merchants and partners should update any third-party tools, such as firewall rules, to allow traffic in the CIDR range `2620:127:f00f::/48` and `2620:127:f00e::/48` by January 16, 2024.

Outbound traffic from Shopify will not be affected.
