# Shop IDs now exceed 32-bit integer values

In [2013](https://ecommerce.shopify.com/c/shopify-apis-and-technology/t/major-change-shopify-is-growing-and-so-are-it-s-ints-141044), we started to transition ID columns from 32-bit to 64-bit in order to handle the large amount of data we process. Shop IDs have now exceeded the 32-bit threshold. If your app processes the shop ID from an API call, you need to make sure that your data type can handle 64-bit integers.
