Support for Ultra Pipelines
Works in Ultra Pipelines.
Limitations
- API versions: Shopify releases new API versions every quarter. Each stable version is supported only for a minimum of 12 months. Part of a Shopify API is deprecated if it becomes unnecessary, unsafe, or outdated. The API’s are marked as deprecated when it's removed in a newer version of the API. The deprecation is then retroactively applied to previous stable versions of the API.
API Rate Limit: All Shopify APIs are rate-limited. They use various strategies to enforce rate limits, such as Calculated query cost, Request-based limit, and Time-based limit.
Shopify Snap Pack uses admin APIs, which are applicable for Request-based limit. If the APIs cross the rate limit, the Snap fails.
Shopify Behavior
- When you create an order for a product, you cannot apply discount on a line item. If the associated discount application is of type code, the Snap returns the discount code that was entered at checkout. Else, the Snap returns the title of the discount that was applied. See Discount APIs for more information.
- Get order refund Snap gets data for non existing orders also.
- Order discount is applied for invalid discount codes. The discount percentage or amount is allotted more than percentage/amount set for valid discount code. For example, summer20 is a valid discount code, which should apply 20% of discount. However, if we provide discount percentage as 50%, then it applies 50% discount ignoring the set discount percentage.

Troubleshooting
| Error | Reason | Resolution |
|---|---|---|
"402 Payment Required" | The requested shop is currently frozen. | You need to log in as admin user and pay the outstanding balance to unfreeze the shop. |
"404 Not Found" | The requested resource is not found. | The resource could be available again in the future. |
| The requested resource is only capable of generating content, but not acceptable according to the Accept headers sent in the request. | N/A |
"409 error" | This is an intermittent error that you can encounter when there is a conflict in your orders, products, or customer data. For example, when you use unsupported characters. | Check for the conflicts in your metadata and rerun the Pipeline. |

"422 empty entity error" | You might be sending null or empty or unsupported data. | Check the data and fix the null or empty data. |

Shops are locked if they repeatedly exceed their API request limit, or if there is an issue with the account, such as a detected compromise or fraud risk. | Wait for Shopify to unlock your account after the specified amount of time, after which you should be able to continue working on your Pipeline, or contact support if your shop is locked. |
"429 Too Many Requests" | Shopify APIs use different API rate-limiting methods. If the APIs exceeds the rate limit, the Snap fails. | See the API Call Limit documentation for a breakdown of Shopify's rate-limiting mechanism. |
"500 Internal Server Error" | An internal error in Shopify application causes this error. | Post the error details to the API and Technology forum so that Shopify staff can investigate the issue. |
