Development discussions around Shopify APIs
Solved! Go to the solution
This is an accepted solution.
All ID's should be unique across the platform*
Explicitly and Publicly Confirmed:
Product and order IDs are unique across all shops (not to be confused with order name).
I can confirm that Smart Collection ids are not relative to shops - they will also be completely unique across shops like product ids. https://community.shopify.com/c/Shopify-APIs-and-SDKs/Uniqueness-of-Smart-collection-Ids/m-p/1220771...
Kinda silly the entire information on this still isn't explicitly in the api docs, it's as fundamentally important as explaining rate limits and shouldn't be left to assumption.
*afaik but I've never seen an shopify internal confirm/deny an entire LIST of IDs as unqiue this, either way if you didn't build the system just assume they aren't because "should be" isn't engineering.
