We're making improvements to the Storefront API

API

Effective November 29, 2018

Over the last few months, we’ve been hard at work improving the Storefront API to enable you to build custom storefronts on Shopify’s platform. The following changes are all available in the Storefront API, and we are continuously updating the JS Buy SDK and Mobile Buy SDKs to include these new changes.

New Features

  • Configurable Options, which now includes the ability to read product and customer tags
  • Discounts Applications exposed in the checkout and order types
  • Support for Android App Links
  • Support for multiple gift cards at checkout
  • Added tracking company and tracking info to fulfillments type
  • Added Best Selling and Price sorting to ProductSortKeys
  • Added a new customerResetByUrl mutation
  • Added lastIncompleteCheckout field to the customer type
  • Added publishedAt sort key on article type
  • Added authors and articleByHandle fields to the blog type
  • Added the name field to the Order type so that it now includes order prefix and suffix

Improvements

  • Handle expired Customer Access Tokens by returning null on requests to fetch the customer
  • Inventory validation removed from checkoutCreate
  • Customer default address id now matches one of the ids in the addresses array
  • Allow customer to login automatically via X-Shopify-Customer-Access-Token header in web checkout
  • Added error codes to customerCreate, customerUpdate and customerAccessTokenCreate mutations (more to come!)
  • Filtering for articles by the title of the blog is now possible
  • Added the ability to query for products by variant price in the Storefront API using the standard comparators
