Hi Benjamin,

Your GraphQL query seems correct in its structure. The productVariants query with the query parameter is the right way to filter product variants based on certain conditions. However, there are a few things to consider:

  1. Exact Match: The query parameter in Shopify’s GraphQL API uses a search syntax similar to the one used in the Shopify admin. It’s possible that the inventory_policy field doesn’t support exact matching in the way you’re attempting.

  2. Alternative Approach: If the direct query doesn’t work as expected, you might need to fetch the variants based on one condition (e.g., inventory_quantity:<=0) and then filter the results on your server or client side to get only those with inventoryPolicy set to CONTINUE.

  3. Testing: Use tools like Shopify’s GraphiQL app to test your queries. This tool provides real-time feedback and auto-suggestions, which can help identify issues.

Hope this helps!
