As Shopify continues to evolve, its transition from REST API to GraphQL API marks a significant shift in how eCommerce platforms integrate with its ecosystem. This change is designed to improve efficiency, reduce data overhead, and enhance performance. However, for businesses currently relying on REST API integrations, this transition presents a challenge—one that eCirql is uniquely equipped to handle with our extensive experience with Shopify GraphQL.
Why is Shopify Deprecating REST API?
Shopify has been gradually phasing out REST API in favour of GraphQL, citing several advantages:
Better Performance: GraphQL allows clients to request only the data they need, reducing unnecessary payloads and improving speed.
Efficient Data Retrieval: Unlike REST, which requires multiple round trips to fetch related data, GraphQL enables fetching all necessary information in a single query.
Flexibility & Scalability: GraphQL provides more control over data structures, making it easier to scale as eCommerce operations grow.
What Does This Mean for Your Shopify Integration?
If your business relies on Shopify’s REST API for order processing, inventory management, or customer data handling, you may soon face issues with deprecated endpoints, breaking existing workflows. This means updating your eCommerce integration is not just beneficial—it’s essential.
