Shopify deprecates merchant-owned delivery-profile APIs for market-driven shipping
For shops using market-driven shipping, legacy merchant-owned delivery-profile reads may be stale and writes may succeed without changing live settings.
Previous state
Apps could treat merchant-owned delivery-profile reads and writes as the controlling live shipping configuration.
Current state
For market-driven shipping, named merchant-owned profile reads can be stale and writes can return success without changing the live configuration; app-owned delivery profiles remain outside the change.
Affected users
Who needs to care
Shopify apps reading or writing merchant-owned delivery profiles on shops using market-driven shipping.
Required response
What to do
Identify market-driven shipping shops, stop relying on deprecated merchant-owned profile writes and preserve app-owned profile behaviour separately.
Evidence boundary
What the source does not prove
The deprecation is bounded to merchant-owned profiles on market-driven shipping. It does not remove every delivery-profile API or affect app-owned profiles.
