Introducing `functionHandle` for Shopify Functions
UpdateUnverifiedAdded Sep 24, 2026
As of the 2025-10 API version, we’re introducing support for user-defined handles as the identifier for Shopify Functions in GraphQL mutations. Instead of passing a globally unique functionId in mutations that create or manage function owners, you can pass a stable, app-scoped handle that you define in your shopify.extension.toml .
