Stay up to date with the Storefront API changes

[Ryan]

Hey All!

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. Check out our documentation for additional information.

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

• Added new checkout V2 mutations to avoid non-`null` checkouts

• Updated tax calculations for Avalara to ensure taxes automatically update on checkout

Deprecated

• Checkout mutations where there is a new V2 mutation to replace it: checkoutAttributesUpdateV2, checkoutCompleteWithCreditCardV2, checkoutCompleteWithTokenizedPaymentV2, checkoutCustomerAssociateV2, checkoutCustomerDisassociateV2, checkoutDiscountCodeApplyV2, checkoutEmailUpdateV2, checkoutGiftCardRemoveV2, checkoutShippingAddressUpdateV2

We are always looking to improve, and appreciate any feedback you have. If there is any particular functionality you are looking for, please let us know what it is, and what you are trying to accomplish by replying to this thread.

If you have any questions or need further clarification, please comment in the thread below.

Happy Coding!

Hi Ryan,

I am exploring Storefornt API for a custom E-commerece implemantion. I am unable to find any refernce to manage cart using Storefront API. Can you please help me by pointing to some documentation where I can get details around cart management using storefront API.

This is related to REST Admin API > Shipping and fulfillment > CarrierService

Could we have `email` field populated in the request when providing shipping rates to Shopify?

So that more flexible shipping rate can be calculated.

As stated on the page.

https://help.shopify.com/en/api/reference/shipping_and_fulfillment/carrierservice

For API-created carrier services, you should use only the following shipping address fields:

• address1
• address2
• city
• zip
• province
• country
• email (can we pass this extra parameter in the request?)

Regards,

Rick

Hey Ryan,

Right now I'm having a problem when I try to query a customer including lastIncompleteCheckout an Internal Error is thrown. If I don't include the lastIncompleteCheckout the query works fine. The problem seems to appear randomly, because most of the times it just works. How can I solve this?

Regards,

Javier

The following is my mutation. This product has taxes and when i view the webUrl, The taxes appears in the website

mutation {
  checkoutCreate(
	input: {
		lineItems: [
			{
				variantId: "Z2lkOi8vc2hvcGlmeS9Qcm9kdWN0VmFyaWFudC83ODQ5ODUzODQ1NTU3",
				quantity: 1 
			}
		]
		shippingAddress:{
			address1: "------"
			city: "Singapore"
			firstName: "Mark"
			country:"Singapore"
			lastName: "Lau"
			zip: "----"
		}
	}
  ) {
    userErrors {
      field
      message
    }
    checkout {
       id
       webUrl
       subtotalPrice
       paymentDue
       totalTax
       taxExempt
       taxesIncluded
       lineItems(first: 5) {
         edges {
           node {
             title
             quantity
             variant {
            	product{
            		tags
            	}
             }
           }
         }
