03 · What to check this week

Concrete next actions

  1. Shopify
    Before adopting Admin API 2026-10, replace priceRule title and code reads in draft-order mutation response handling.View reasoning →
  2. Shopify
    Review any app-owned profile assignment logic and enable coversAllItems only when its rates should override assignments for the entire shippable catalog.View reasoning →
  3. Shopify
    If merchants configure subscription discounts through an extension, expose the two fields and test cycle-limit behavior at checkout before enabling them.View reasoning →
  4. Shopify
    Evaluate moving ERP references or handling instructions into validated transfer metafields and verify duplicate-transfer behavior before changing inventory workflows.View reasoning →
  5. Shopify
    Update logic that assumes every Market is regional, and test catalog availability and pricing output before creating channel-specific Markets.View reasoning →
  6. Shopify
    If label buying is part of fulfillment automation, add permission and terms checks, poll asynchronous results, and handle purchase failures before using the new mutation.View reasoning →
  7. Shopify
    Create or declare definitions for every app metafield used by customer-account extensions or headless storefronts and explicitly grant Customer Account API access.View reasoning →
  8. Shopify
    Where checkout rules rely on cross-merchant buyer context, assess the new input while applying data minimization and null-safe behavior for missing metafields.View reasoning →
  9. Amazon
    Refresh Product Type Definitions metadata and update listing validation for newly required attributes or changed enumeration values before retrying affected submissions.View reasoning →
  10. Amazon
    If you support IVP-enrolled US sellers, allow Amazon's new audience enum values in listing create and update payloads; otherwise no action is required.View reasoning →
  11. Amazon
    Refresh Product Type Definitions metadata, compare required fields and accepted values, and update Listings Items API or JSON feed validation for affected product types.View reasoning →
  12. Amazon
    Compare affected product-type metadata with listing payload validation and update newly required attributes or removed enumeration values before resubmitting failed listings.View reasoning →
