Breaking changes
Anchor link to section titled "Breaking changes"These changes require special attention. If your app uses these API resources, and you don’t adjust your usage of the resources according to the following instructions, then your app might break when you update to this API version.
Allocation method for discounts
Anchor link to section titled "Allocation method for discounts"We updated the allocation method for discounts that have set the target_selection as explicit. Previously, Shopify applied these discounts to a single line item, which corresponded to an allocation method of one. With this change, the allocation methods will instead include each and across.
We've made this change to simplify the discount syntax, as one and across functionally both discount the final price by a set amount.
