A checkout link is a way to create a curated checkout experience for your customers.

Changelog

Tools

Name change for Shopify’s GitHub app
The app that manages connections between Shopify and GitHub has changed its name from Shopify Online Store to Shopify. There’s no change to the app’s existing functionality. This change reflects earlier updates to Shopify’s GitHub app, which allows it to be used for custom storefront development with Hydrogen, in addition to managing theme code for the online store. We’ll continue to use this app to manage any additional future connections between Shopify and GitHub.

API

Changes to Storefront API Object IDs
Last year, we announced that there were some updates coming to the Storefront API around object IDs. As of today, when requesting the unstable, 2022-04 release candidate, or future versions of the Storefront API, the object IDs returned will no longer be Base64 encoded.
Updated Admin GraphQL/Storefront ExternalVideo URL fields
As part of the 2022-04 API release, we've updated the Admin GraphQL and Storefront APIs to provide clearer URLs for the ExternalVideo type.

Platform

Introducing a new custom app developer experience
We’ve simplified the app model at Shopify by introducing a new experience for creating, configuring, and building custom apps in the Shopify admin.
