From that day, requests to discover.shopifyapps.com\/global will fail, saved catalog calls included. Shopify\u2019s notice mentions no grace period or fallback.<br \/>\nWhat is being retired?<br \/>\nThe Global Catalog lets apps search and fetch product data across many Shopify merchants, not just one store. Four REST endpoints go offline: \/global\/v2\/search, \/global\/v2\/p\/{upid}, \/global\/v2\/p\/by-variant\/{vid}, and \/global\/v2\/lookup.<br \/>\nWhat replaces it?<br \/>\nThe Global Catalog MCP at catalog.shopify.com\/api\/ucp\/mcp, built on Shopify\u2019s Universal Commerce Protocol (UCP). This is not a GraphQL migration. Teams planning a GraphQL Admin API rewrite for this API are aiming at the wrong target.<br \/>\nHow do the endpoints map to the new tools?<br \/>\nsearch becomes search_catalog<br \/>\nWhat changes in your code?<br \/>\nEvery request now needs an agent profile.<br \/>\nWhere does migration usually fail?<br \/>\nNot in the endpoint swap, which is small. It fails in two places:<br \/>\nHidden callers. Outdated app versions, agency scripts, middleware wrappers and third-party App Store apps can all still call the old endpoint. Search your repos and outbound logs, and get written confirmation from every vendor.<br \/>\nDownstream data. If catalog data flows into ERP pricing, stock or orders, a renamed or re-nested field can break those flows days after cutover.<br \/>\nHow should you cut over?<br \/>\nRun old and new calls side by side on identical inputs and compare the outputs. Use the Shopify AI Toolkit or the UCP CLI to test calls in isolation. Switch at least 48 hours before November 2, with a rollback plan ready.<br \/>\nAre Shopify-to-ERP integrations affected?<br \/>\nIntegrations that run on Shopify\u2019s Admin API, which only covers a merchant\u2019s own store data, do not call the Global Catalog. appse ai connects Shopify and Shopify Plus to SAP Business One, Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, and NetSuite through the Admin API, so its customers need no changes for this cutoff.<br \/>\nThe full migration guide, with a week-by-week plan, is here:appse.ai<\/div>\n<p>Fuente: <a href=\"https:\/\/dev.to\/mou_mukherjee_da7a610254c\/shopify-global-catalog-rest-api-retirement-a-developers-checklist-for-november-2-2026-4f57\">Art\u00edculo original<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shopify will retire the Global Catalog REST API on November 2, 2026.
