Anysphere Organization connector (Beta)
The Anysphere Organization connector is now available in Lakeflow Connect in Beta . Workspace admins can control access to this feature from the Previews page. The connector uses the Anysphere (Cursor) Organization Admin API to ingest organization members, groups, and group members into Databricks as daily snapshots.

Openflow gen 1 deployment creation retired
You can no longer create new first generation (gen 1) Openflow deployments (BYOC or Snowflake). All new deployments are second generation (gen 2), created with CREATE OPENFLOW DEPLOYMENT or the Openflow UI. Existing gen 1 deployments continue to work unchanged, and you can still create new gen 1 runtimes on an existing gen 1 deployment.

Discounts Allocator Function API developer preview has ended
The Discounts Allocator Function API, available only through the Discounts Allocator developer preview, has been removed and won’t be released. The developer preview is closed. Most developers don’t need to take action. The one exception is an app that still declares the purchase.discounts-allocator.run extension target.
Variants now support multiple barcodes
Merchants often sell the same variant under more than one identifier: a manufacturer UPC alongside a private-label EAN, a GTIN, a reissued ISBN, or an ASIN for a marketplace listing. Until now a variant held a single barcode value, so the extras ended up in metafields, tags, or outside Shopify entirely.
Customer Address APIs now support countryCode
Starting with Customer Account API version 2026-10, customer address inputs and objects support countryCode . The existing territoryCode field is deprecated but remains fully supported, so current integrations continue working without interruption. Developers should migrate to countryCode when adopting API version 2026-10.
Shopify storefronts now support UCP 2026-08-25
Shopify storefronts now advertise support for Universal Commerce Protocol (UCP) version 2026-08-25 in their discovery profiles at /.well-known/ucp . This update adds compatibility with the 2026-08-25 protocol release and doesn’t require any changes to your existing integrations.
Filter Catalog search results by media type
The Catalog API now returns video and 3D model media on products that have it, and supports filtering search results by media type. You can request only products that have video or 3D model media attached, and matching products return links to those assets in the same response.
Dynamic complexity cost for `metafieldsSet` mutation
The metafieldsSet mutation now uses dynamic complexity costing. Instead of a flat cost for every call, a request's cost reflects how many distinct resources metafields were changed. Most apps need no changes, as updating a single resource remains cheap. Apps setting many metafields across many different owners may hit their rate limit faster.
Prepare your app for the Shopify admin's new look
Starting September 15, 2026, the Shopify admin has a new look, rolling out progressively to merchants. Apps that use Admin UI extensions and App Home UI extensions pick up the new styles automatically. Apps that render their own interface in App Home keep their current styles until you choose to move to Polaris 2.0.
family_name is optional for B2B orders in Payments Apps API requests
B2B checkout treats the buyer’s surname as optional, so payment session requests for B2B orders can omit family_name in shipping_address and billing_address . This affects payments apps that handle B2B orders through the Payments Apps API and currently require family_name in these addresses.
