Support for category_id query parameter in Storefront API?

Using the Admin GraphQL API, it’s possible to query products by category_id. See products - GraphQL Admin (As an aside, the documentation on this particular query option is wrong - to work successfully (at least in API version 2024-10), the ID should be specified as just the trailing part (e.g., “category_id:aa”, notcategory_id:gid://shopify/TaxonomyCategory/aa

Is there a plan to support the same type of query in the Storefront GraphQL API?

Note I’m talking about querying by the Shopify Standard Product Taxonomy category ID, not a “Collection” ID.

Hi there,

The support for filtering on product category is planned to ship in the January version release.

Thanks

That’s great to hear! Thank you for the reply!

New uploads.. from Listernaut to Shopify, after I launch the items, the categorization is missing and not being uploaded. Not even a recommended category. This is new, since in the past, I would say 80% had recommended categories. Not sure what changed?

Yesterday, When I started auditing the charge tax field, I noticed, not only did the recent upload not default the tax, but rather quite a few of the initial items did not have the correct tax default YES . Which I had to manually update each iproduct,

What’s causing it, I can’t tell and I would not know. I am following the steps shared by Logan to upload the items. Has anything changed from the recent deployments, I am not sure.

However, my recommendation is to make sure each item is categorized and the Charge tax field is defaulted to yes, once the pods are uploaded from Listernaut. Since Shopify is telling me, unless we use their scanning process, this has to be fixed with Listernaut and with their upload process.

I hope this helps
