Starting October 9, 2025, Shopify is rolling out a new remote products feature that allows eligible US-based stores to display products from other stores on their storefronts. This optional capability enables merchants to expand their product catalogs by sourcing items from partner or connected stores. Remote products are distinguishable from native inventory and come with their own shipping and fulfillment arrangements separate from the origin store.
If your app integrates with Shopify's Cart Ajax API to calculate free shipping eligibility or apply cart discounts, this change directly affects your functionality. Including remote products in these calculations could result in incorrect shipping costs, improperly applied discounts, or broken cart logic. Since remote products have independent shipping arrangements tied to their origin stores, treating them the same as native products will create a poor customer experience and potential revenue loss for merchants.
GetShopifyToken streamlines secure app authentication and token management, allowing you to focus on updating your app logic rather than wrestling with OAuth flows. Ensure your app maintains proper access scopes and permissions while implementing these critical product handling updates.
