Deprecation of `OrderTransaction.authorizationCode` in favor of `OrderTransaction.paymentId`
DeprecationUnverifiedAdded Sep 24, 2026
Starting with the 2026-01 API version, the authorizationCode field on the OrderTransaction object is deprecated. We recommend using the paymentId field instead. The paymentId field provides a consistent, standardized identifier for payment reconciliation across all payment providers on Shopify.
