As a Shopify developer or business owner, it's essential to stay up-to-date with platform changes that can impact your store or app. Shopify has recently announced that it will be retiring three types of extensions: POS Links, cart app extensions, and product recommendations. These changes will take effect over the next few months, with key deadlines you should be aware of.
To avoid disruption to your Shopify apps and store, Shopify recommends migrating to POS UI extensions. This is the preferred method moving forward, offering better integration and an enhanced experience for Shopify POS users.
For developers who currently use POS Links, Shopify advises embedding your app directly into Shopify POS through the Partner Dashboard. This will allow you to continue providing seamless point-of-sale experiences without interruption.
Shopify continually refines its platform to ensure developers and merchants have access to the most modern and efficient tools. By retiring older extension types and encouraging the adoption of newer technologies, Shopify aims to improve performance, security, and user experience across its ecosystem.
