Shopify have adopted
API versioning and are now releasing new versions of their API quarterly - each stable version is supported for a minimum of 12 months. With this updated frequency of API releases which can also include deprecations to existing API endpoints we are constantly developing fmEcommerce Link (Shopify Edition) v2 to ensure it remains compatible with the latest stable version of the Shopify API and includes any updates for deprecations introduced by a new API version.
When a new version of fmEcommerce Link (Shopify Edition) is released you can download this using the download link from your original order confirmation email - that link will always download the most recent version based on your purchase date of fmEcommerce Link (Shopify Edition) v2 or the Maintenance extension. You can use a FileMaker developer tool like BaseElements or FMPerception to generate a comparison report between your original version of fmEcommerce Link and a later update to identify the elements that have changed and need updating (we can also produce one of these using BaseElements for you if required).
