Starting April 2025, new public apps submitted to Shopify app store must use GraphQL

GraphQL is now the primary API to interact with the Shopify admin. REST Admin API will be marked as legacy, and new feature development and improvements will be focused on GraphQL.

Starting April 1 2025, all new public apps submitted to the App Store after this date must only use GraphQL.

Migration timelines for existing apps (outside of the required migration to the new GraphQL product APIs that have already been announced), will be announced in 2025. We will make sure ample time is provided for a smooth transition.
