A developer created a Shopify checkout app that writes custom attributes for order processing. Despite releasing multiple updates from the initial version, they continue to receive new orders with data formatted according to the old version.

Core Question:

old:
it is a very big problem as I added new fields that doesn’t exist in older versions.
