Shopify Next Gen Events: How to Migrate Off Webhooks Without Missing Deliveries
Shopify's Next Gen Events, generally available since 1 October 2026 under API version 2026-10, lets apps subscribe to specific field changes and receive the needed data within each delivery. The new model is more efficient but carries a risk: subscriptions that are misdeclared fail silently rather than raising errors, so deliveries can stop without warning. Classic webhooks remain operational with no sunset date, allowing developers to migrate one workflow at a time and verify each step. The guide advises testing every state change in both directions, deduplicating on Shopify-Webhook-Id, responding within five seconds, and running a reconciliation job. It also notes that Events currently covers 18 topics, with uncovered resources staying on classic webhooks.
