variant.inventory_count

variant.inventory_level.inventory_level_id
variant.inventory_level.quantity

Migration Steps

1. 1

   Update API Client Version

   code

   Ensure your application is using an updated Shopify API client library that supports the 2024-10 version. Check the documentation for your specific SDK or HTTP client.

   • ↳Consult the official Shopify API documentation for the latest client library versions.
   • ↳If using a custom HTTP client, update the `api_version` parameter in your requests.
2. 2

   Adapt to Inventory Field Changes

   code

   Modify your code to reflect the renaming of `inventory_item_id` to `inventory_level_id` and the introduction of the `inventory_level` object containing `quantity`. Access inventory data via the new structure.

   • ↳Carefully review all parts of your codebase that interact with product variant inventory.
   • ↳Consider creating helper functions to abstract the new data structure.
3. 3

   Test Inventory Functionality

   test

   Thoroughly test all features related to product inventory management, including stock updates, checks, and displays. Verify that the new API fields are handled correctly.

   • ↳Write automated tests covering various inventory scenarios.
   • ↳Manually verify inventory levels in the Shopify admin after making changes.
4. 4

   Staging Environment Deployment

   deploy

   Deploy the updated application to a staging or development environment that mirrors your production setup. This allows for final validation before a full rollout.

   • ↳Use a dedicated Shopify development store for staging.
   • ↳Ensure all necessary environment variables and configurations are correctly set.
5. 5

   Production Deployment and Monitoring

   deploy

   Once satisfied with staging tests, deploy the changes to your production environment. Closely monitor application logs and performance metrics post-deployment.

   • ↳Consider a phased rollout to minimize risk.
   • ↳Have a rollback plan in place in case of unforeseen issues.
6. 6

   Post-Migration Verification

   verify

   Perform a final round of verification in the production environment. Check key user flows and critical inventory-related features to ensure everything is functioning as expected.

   • ↳Have a support team ready to address any immediate issues.
   • ↳Collect user feedback to identify any subtle problems.

Testing Checklist

1. 1.

   Product Variant Inventory Retrieval

   Fetch product variants and assert that `inventory_level.inventory_level_id` and `inventory_level.quantity` are present and correct.

2. 2.

   Inventory Level Update (Create/Modify)

   Attempt to update inventory levels for a product variant and verify the success response and the updated values.

3. 3.

   Inventory Level Deletion (if applicable)

   If your workflow involves deleting inventory levels, test this process and ensure it behaves as expected.

4. 4.

   API Response Error Handling

   Simulate API errors or invalid requests related to inventory and verify that your application handles them gracefully.
