# Property deprecations in the Admin API ProductVariant resource

The [relationship between a ProductVariant and a FulfillmentService was changed in the 2022-07 API version](https://shopify.dev/changelog/fulfillment-service-sku-sharing). A `ProductVariant` can be stocked by multiple fulfillment services. As a result, we recommended that you no longer use the following fields: `ProductVariant.fulfillment_service` ([REST](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-rest/latest/resources/product-variant#resource-object))([GraphQL](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/objects/ProductVariant#field-productvariant-fulfillmentservice)) and `LineItem.fulfillment_service` ([REST](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-rest/latest/resources/order#resource-object))([GraphQL](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/objects/LineItem#field-lineitem-fulfillmentservice)). Instead, you should use inventory items and inventory levels if you need to find or manage where a product is stocked.

If you need to determine whether a product is a gift card, you should continue to use the `ProductVariant.fulfillment_service` field until an alternative is available.

Learn more about [managing inventory quantities and states](https://shopify.dev/apps/fulfillment/inventory-management-apps/quantities-states).

Learn more about managing fulfillment orders using the [REST Admin API](https://shopify.dev/api/admin/rest/reference/shipping-and-fulfillment/fulfillmentorder) and [GraphQL Admin API](https://shopify.dev/api/admin/graphql/reference/shipping-and-fulfillment/fulfillmentorder).

Learn more about the [building a fulfillment service using the fulfillment orders API](https://shopify.dev/apps/fulfillment/migrate).

Also the field `presentment_prices` is being deprecated in REST and GraphQL. For more context refer to this [change log.](https://shopify.dev/changelog/contextual-pricing-for-products-is-now-available-in-the-graphql-admin-api)
