Navigating the Shopify API Transition: How Versori Can Help You Seamlessly Migrate to GraphQL

Shopify’s transition from REST to GraphQL presents significant integration challenges for businesses, but Versori’s swift, cost-effective solutions ensure a seamless migration with minimal disruption.

Shopify, the world’s leading e-commerce platform, has announced the deprecation of its REST API in favour of GraphQL. While this transition is meant to streamline performance and improve flexibility, it’s left many Shopify merchants, developers, and integration partners scrambling to adjust. As the migration deadline looms (currently set between February and April 2025), you may be facing significant challenges with API changes that affect your integrations, workflows, and overall business operations.

What’s Changing with Shopify’s GraphQL API?

While Shopify’s move to GraphQL promises enhanced performance and more powerful querying capabilities, it’s not without its headaches. Many users have already voiced frustration over the lack of clarity surrounding the migration process, citing concerns like:

  • Increased complexity: GraphQL’s flexible querying capabilities require developers to rethink how data is accessed and manipulated. For instance, accessing order customer details now requires additional access scopes that weren’t necessary with REST, creating unnecessary friction.
  • More API calls required: Migrating tasks like image manipulation, which once involved straightforward REST calls, now requires more steps with GraphQL, making integration more cumbersome.
  • Uncertainty around timeline and support: Shopify has provided limited details on the exact timeline for deprecation, leaving merchants unsure about when and how they’ll need to migrate their apps and integrations.

These are just a few examples of how Shopify’s new GraphQL API is creating confusion, but the core challenge is clear: You need to update your Shopify integrations, but the process is time-consuming, resource-draining, and risk-laden.
