# Some nested fields have been moved out of the Shop object and onto the QueryRoot in the Storefront API

As part of our efforts to improve the quality of the [Storefront API](https://help.shopify.com/en/api/custom-storefronts/storefront-api), we've moved some nested fields out of the Shop object and onto the QueryRoot.

***

The following fields on the Shop object have been deprecated, and now return a deprecation warning:

* `collectionByHandle`
* `collections`
* `productByHandle`
* `productTags`
* `productTypes`
* `products`

These fields can now be queried directly on the QueryRoot.
