* products​Count

  [Count](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/2024-10/objects/Count)

  Retrieves the total count of products that are currently published to a specific sales channel. This provides a quick way to understand channel inventory without fetching the full product list.

  For example, when building channel management dashboards, you can display how many products are available in each channel like "150 products in Online Store" or "75 products in Facebook Shop."

  Use `ChannelProductsCount` to:

  * Display inventory summaries in channel management interfaces
  * Monitor product distribution across sales channels
  * Validate channel setup and product availability

  The count reflects only published products and updates as merchants add or remove products from channels.

* supports​Future​Publishing

  [Boolean!](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/2024-10/scalars/Boolean)
