# Verified by Shopify tiers now available on the GraphQL Admin API's MerchantApprovedSignals object

You can now query `verifiedByShopifyTier` on the `MerchantApprovedSignals` object to determine what tier of pre-approval a merchant is in if available.

This query helps you to accelerate the onboarding of merchants to sales channels based on the tiers.

For more information, refer to the [release notes](https://shopify.dev/api/release-notes/2023-04).
