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.

Predict dynamic table refresh behavior with EXPLAIN CHANGES (General availability)
You can now use EXPLAIN CHANGES to predict a dynamic table's refresh behavior before it happens, either for a manual refresh or as part of a DDL change, without applying the change.
Horizon Catalog Explorer UI (Preview)
With this release, the Horizon Catalog Explorer is the default experience for browsing Snowflake objects in Snowsight, replacing Database Explorer. The Horizon Catalog Explorer provides consistent navigation and object detail pages while preserving the tabs and actions that you already use.
Embedding Streamlit in Snowflake apps in external pages (General availability)
Embedding Streamlit in Snowflake apps in external pages is now generally available. You can render a container-runtime app inside a page you host, such as a customer portal or an internal dashboard, using a single tag.
Elastic Channels for Snowpipe Streaming (General availability)
Elastic Channels for Snowpipe Streaming are now generally available. Elastic Channels provide one implicit, server-scaled ingestion path per pipe, so concurrent producers can stream directly to Snowflake tables and supported Snowflake-managed Iceberg tables without managing channel names, lifecycle, ordering, or offset tokens.
Webhook-triggered deployments for Databricks Apps will soon be generally available
Starting in October 2026, webhook-triggered deployments for Databricks Apps will be generally available. Automatically deploy your app when changes are pushed to a connected GitHub or Azure DevOps repository, so your deployed app stays in sync with your repository without manual redeployment. See Deploy a Databricks app .
Sharing foreign Delta tables with OpenSharing is now generally available
Sharing and reading foreign Delta tables with OpenSharing is now generally available. Providers can share Delta-format tables federated from OneLake, a Hive metastore, or AWS Glue, without copying data into Databricks. See Add foreign Delta tables to a share .

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.
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.
Delivery options in Shopify Functions input now expose their metafields
Shopify Functions can now read metafields attached to delivery options in the cart. On API version 2026-10 , you can call metafield(namespace:, key:) on any option in cart.deliveryGroups.deliveryOptions . This affects apps that build Delivery Customization Functions and any other function whose input includes delivery options. No action is required.
Updates to Events payloads and subscription configuration
Starting today, we're updating Events payloads, trigger syntax, and delivery headers. Classic Webhook subscriptions are unaffected. What's changed fields_changed now describes how each path changed The flat array becomes an object containing three arrays: added , updated , and removed .
Request a bundle size exception for existing UI extensions
UI extensions using API version 2025-10 or later are limited to a 64 KB compressed JavaScript bundle per extension. Full page customer account extensions may use up to 128 KB. If your extension remains over the limit after optimization, run shopify app build and submit the minified bundle and its esbuild metafile through the bundle size exception form .
Adding a canceled receive action to the inventory shipments API
The GraphQL Admin API now supports a CANCELED receive action for inventory shipments in version 2026-10 . You can mark inventory shipment line item units as canceled when they’ll never arrive, and you can read canceled quantities on shipments and their line items. This is an additive change to the 2026-10 release candidate.
Removed session.currentSession.staffMemberId from POS UI Extensions (2026-10)
As of API version 2026-10, the static session.currentSession.staffMemberId field has been removed from the POS UI Extensions Session API. It was deprecated in 2026-07 in favour of session.staffMember, a reactive signal that updates when a different staff member pins into POS.
