We wanted to remind you that as of Feb 1st all public apps must be built using the new GraphQL product APIs.
In early February merchants on a Shopify Plus plan or above will start to be able to opt-in to early access to 2,048 (aka 2K) variants. If your app has not been migrated to the new GraphQL product APIs, merchants using your app in early access may have a downgraded or broken experience when interacting with products over 100 variants, and will be notified accordingly.
Merchants shouldn’t need to re-install the app when you migrate to use GraphQL instead of REST endpoints, but if you’re adding new scopes they may need to re-authenticate the app.
Additionally, only merchants that opt in to the new extended variants feature will see an unsupported warning from early Feb, if a deprecated call is being made.
From your screenshot it looks like the migration is complete as there’s no recently detected API calls, so you should be all good moving forward.
Is this going to be limited to Plus merchants only? We noted a Shopify Staff member indicating that it was planned for release to all plans, here. @Liam-Shopify
I am testing out the product import for 500-800 variants in my developer account before I do that in my client’s store. How can I request this 2048 variant feature in my dev store?
Also is this only available through graphql and I can’t use shopify product import feature once it is enabled?
Hello @Liam-Shopify , I am the lead engineer for a merchant. We have our own custom app for integrating our PIM data into shopify Products & Variants. We have already adopted the new ProductSet mutation as well, but cannot utilize its ability to add beyond 100 variants. We have been anticipating this feature for quite some time and been in communication with support on numerous occasions. We have a request in to be granted beta access as well. Could you shed any further light on when we might be able to start using the 2k variants limit?
Ditto @skeat ‘s situation and question, @Liam-Shopify . We have rings in quarter sizes from 2-16 (57 variants) times 4 finishes times up to 3 stone sizes. We have a plug in (product variants reloaded) that’s taking care of things for our front end customers, but it’s not ideal for back end admin, collection creation, etc. We’d really like to get access to this long-promised feature.
I don’t have any visibility into when exactly this feature will be enabled for specific merchants who have requested beta/early access. In the meantime you can test out in a developer preview store, and when this is enabled on your production store, you can migrate your integration across.
@Liam-Shopify thanks for the reply. Understood re: beta/early access. Do you know if this feature will ever be available through the web-admin or will it always be via the API? Thanks!
