Complex rule condition schema clarifies nullable variant_id

The Catalog Products reference now marks variant_id as nullable in complex rule condition responses, matching what the API actually returns.

  • Nullable variant_id: complex rules created through the v2 API or the control panel can return conditions without a variant_id, so the field may be null in GET and PUT responses.

For details, see the Complex Rules reference.

GraphQL Schema Updates

The Storefront GraphQL API adds a vault access token mutation for stored payment instruments and a way to list the company members who have placed orders. Both additions are alpha and marked deprecated in the schema: do not use them in production.

Storefront GraphQL

  • Vault access tokens: a new storedPaymentInstruments field on CustomerMutations exposes the new StoredPaymentInstrumentMutations type, whose createVaultAccessToken mutation issues a vault access token for the authenticated customer.
    • Result shape: CreateVaultAccessTokenResult returns the vaultAccessToken, its expiresAt timestamp, and an errors list of CreateVaultAccessTokenError. Empty errors indicates success.
  • Company members with orders: a new customersWithOrders field on ActiveCompany returns a paginated CompanyCustomerConnection of company members who have placed at least one order.
    • Customer details: the new CompanyCustomer type exposes each member’s entityId, firstName, lastName, and email.
    • Filtering: the new CustomerWithOrdersFiltersInput narrows the list by companyIds.

For schema details, browse the Storefront GraphQL API reference.

Clarified what updates a product’s date_modified

The product documentation now explains exactly which changes update the date_modified timestamp on a product, so you can avoid a common pitfall when detecting changes.

  • Product record changes update date_modified — editing a product’s name, description, pricing, categories, custom fields, images, options, modifiers, or variants updates the timestamp.
  • Inventory changes do not always update date_modified — because inventory is a separate entity, stock updates processed by the Inventory API (including stock edits from the control panel Products list) leave date_modified unchanged. Inventory updates processed by the Catalog API, such as a PUT that sets inventory_level, do update it.
  • Use webhooks instead of polling — subscribe to the store/product/updated and store/product/inventory/updated webhooks to reliably detect product and stock changes.

For details, see Inventory adjustments.

Storefront Foundations Updates

Updates the Storefront Foundations course to cover Stencil’s new multi-language storefront support and to keep a hands-on lab in sync with its underlying code.

  • About Stencil now mentions that a single Stencil storefront can present multiple languages, with catalog and checkout data translated using the Translations Admin GraphQL API or the control panel’s Localization tab.
  • Add a Subcategory Listing in Stencil lab syncs its code snippets with the current lab source, including the full category page markup and the component partial filename.
