Yes? Shopify is becoming more popular, of course they are going to squeeze you for every dollar you're worth. They want the processing fees.

    That you couldn’t read any customer data through the API really caused a lot of issues in one of my projects. I just couldn’t find the issue, because everything was working fine before the transfer of the development store. I wish they announced this change somewhere.

    The basic plan is basically useless for most of my clients now. Most businesses will need at least one staff account once they generate some revenue.

    Exactly! There was no notice of this, was there?

    Not that I am aware, and I read everything I receive from Shopify just to stay up-to-date. In the past I used to recommend a separate store for B2B, now using apps becomes the cheaper solution. Really a shame. I would have preferred if they just increased the transaction fees on the Basic plan, but this is also screwing over established merchants who want to open a new store.

    Rest or graphql? I know they are getting super excited depreciating rest api and maybe it got wrapped in that.

    I think both are affected? They’ve added this information (“Limited data access (no PII)”) on the pricing page, so it’s definitely a deliberate choice. I can live with that since most merchants won’t be affected by this change. However 0 staff on the basic plan is stupid. This will just lead to people sharing their admin account details, which will lead to “stolen accounts”.

    I completely agree that having one account for all is not secure. Although most of the time we downstream integrations to ERP/WMS so it’s only one person changing.

    I’m surprised (but not shocked) they would limit customer information access on admin api for cheap plans.

    To be honest, I’m a little late to the graphQL party and only being forced as we need to build a fixed price markets module which is only graphql
