New Collection model and APIs now available
Shopify developer change
MerchantDiff detected this entry in Shopify's official developer changelog on June 17, 2026.
This Shopify update is categorized as Action Required, API, New, GraphQL Admin API, Functions, 2026-07.
What changed
The 2026-07 release replaces a collection’s single ruleSet with a multi-source model in the GraphQL Admin API. Each collection now has one or more CollectionSource objects that define typed inclusion and exclusion conditions, plus manual selections. Shopify Functions also gain variant-level collection membership fields on the ProductVariant type. In API version 2026-07 and later, collections that use the new sources model are returned from collections queries, collection(id:) lookups, and other collection-returning fields. In earlier API versions, those same collections using new features are filtered out because the legacy ruleSet shape can’t represent them.
