Shopify has officially deprecated legacy customer accounts, effective immediately for new stores. Existing stores still using the older customer account system will no longer receive feature updates or technical support. Shopify will announce a final sunset date later in 2026, after which legacy customer accounts will be completely unavailable.
For theme developers and merchants, this deprecation signals a critical timeline for migration. Continuing to build on legacy customer account infrastructure means your store will eventually lose functionality and support, potentially impacting customer experience and security. The shift to modern customer accounts ensures better performance, security standards, and access to current Shopify features that enhance the merchant and shopper experience.

Our platform helps you securely manage Shopify API credentials during system transitions, ensuring your customer account data transfers smoothly while maintaining proper authorization protocols.
