Hey team - this entire API isn’t accessible for my storefront because they are on a legacy $8/mo plan.
While they don’t pay for an online storefront, the payments do flow through the buy button and it would be incredible to use the customers api or the products api to show products to customers before checking them out on the buy button sales channel.
Can we give access to Storefront APIs to Shopify Basic plans?
The current Shopify Basic plan is listed as having 1 hydrogen storefront usable.
If it’s intended for legacy plans/defunt-plans(such as lite) then you need to confirm that with support directly.
It’s not common for a business to grandfather in new & advanced features to Legacy plans that pre-existing customers may have the advantage of having.
If not intended for legacy to even attempt it, contact support directly to try and get it, or negotiate a new rate or additional fee to access new stuff or out of plan features (ex: carrier api).
To not muck with the existing legacy plan costs at all just negotiate a rate for opening a 2nd store.
Note: hydrogen not available for the starter plan, and start plan only available to “new” merchants.
