## Gadget removed from the Developer Portal

> **Warning**
>
> If you built an app with Gadget, plan your migration now. Existing Gadget apps keep running only until March 31, 2027.

Gadget [announced on November 9, 2026](https://gadget.dev/blog/gadget-wind-down) that it is shutting down, and new app creation is disabled. BigCommerce has removed Gadget from the Developer Portal. See Gadget's announcement for your migration options.

What changed in the Developer Portal:

* **Connect to Gadget prompt.** The "Jumpstart Your BigCommerce App with Gadget" pop-up no longer appears after you create an app.
* **Developer quick start card.** The Gadget card in the Resources panel on the Developer Portal home page is now a "Developer quick start" card that links to the [Apps Quick Start](/developer/docs/integrations/apps/quick-start) guide.
* **App details link.** The Developer Portal no longer builds a link that sends an app's details to Gadget.

This change affects the Developer Portal interface only. It does not change any API behavior, app registry, or app record.
