I’ve implemented additional webhooks in my Shopify setup to receive data, and as a result, it’s now triggering updated events even for past orders dating back to 2022
Topic summary
A Shopify developer is experiencing unexpected webhook behavior after implementing additional webhooks. The system is retroactively triggering update events for thousands of historical orders—approximately 9,000 orders dating back to 2022—rather than only new transactions.
Key Details:
- Webhooks are firing for old orders from 2022
- Volume: ~9,000 historical order updates received in a single day
- Another user reported the identical issue occurring 2 days prior
Status: The problem appears unresolved, with no official response from Shopify mentioned. Multiple developers are affected, suggesting a potential platform-wide issue rather than an isolated configuration error.
