Create channel markets with the GraphQL Admin API
Shopify developer change
MerchantDiff detected this entry in Shopify's official developer changelog on June 17, 2026.
This Shopify update is categorized as API, New, Admin GraphQL API, 2026-07.
What changed
You can now: Use MarketType.CHANNEL and MarketConditionType.CHANNEL to identify channel markets. Create channel markets with MarketCreateInput.conditions.channelsCondition and MarketConditionsChannelsInput.channelIds. Add or remove channel conditions through MarketUpdateInput.conditions. Query a market’s channels with Market.channels and Market.channelsCount. Query a channel’s markets with Channel.markets and Channel.marketsCount.
Who is affected
Apps using the affected Shopify GraphQL API surface should review this change.
What action may be needed
If your app works with Markets or catalogs, update any logic that assumes markets are only regional, retail-location, company-location, or none-type markets. If your app wants to create channel markets, pass channel IDs through channelsCondition.channelIds, then assign catalogs and pricing configuration using the existing Markets and catalog APIs. Product feed output continues to respect both the channel market’s catalog settings and the sales channel’s own publishing controls.
