# Shopify

Shopify (opens new window) is an e-commerce platform that allows businesses to create online stores and sell products.

# API version

This connector uses the Shopify REST Admin API (opens new window) version 2025-04. You can monitor the availability of the API and other services through the Shopify Status (opens new window) page.

HOW DOES SHOPIFY HANDLE ITS API VERSION UPGRADES?

Shopify generally releases a new version every three months, and maintains each release version for a maximum of twelve months. That means that there will be four stable versions supported at any point in time.

Once a released version passes its one year mark, Shopify will no longer maintain that version, and any API calls requesting that version will be automatically routed to the oldest stable version currently supported.

For instance, if the current available stable versions are 2024-07, 2024-10, 2025-01, and 2025-04, then any API calls requesting for 2024-04 version will be automatically routed to the 2024-07 version by Shopify.

Refer to Shopify's API versioning (opens new window) page for more information.
