Developer changelog

The 2025-10 API update returns an error on false for permitsSkuSharing in fulfillmentServiceCreate and FulfillmentService#create, deprecating non-SKU sharing services.

POS UI Extensions update: Fixed component rendering, removed FormattedTextField, added properties to interfaces, deprecated Icon props, and introduced Storage API for data storage.

New DraftOrderMarketRegionCountryCodeNotSupportedWarning added for DraftOrder. Warns if deprecated marketRegionCountryCode is set, as it doesn't affect draft orders on shops using Markets.

In API version 2025-07, we've standardized target and operation names across various Function APIs. The previous target and operation names still work, too.

Shop metafields are now visible in the Admin UI, eliminating custom interface development. Developers can easily build apps using shop-level data with built-in viewing and editing capabilities.

The 2025-07 version of Function APIs adds the cart.deliveryGroups.groupType type to identify a delivery as a one-time purchase or part of a subscription.

Shopify Functions now support reading cart metafields in GraphQL queries. Checkout UI extensions can also read and write cart metafields for various cart states. Use reserved namespaces for security.
