Physical inventory feature preview
Shopify developer change
MerchantDiff detected this entry in Shopify's official developer changelog on July 17, 2026.
This Shopify update is categorized as API, New, Admin GraphQL API.
What changed
The physical inventory feature preview gives you early access to a new set of inventory APIs in the unstable version of the GraphQL Admin API. Enable it on a development store to build and test against the core primitives merchants use to organize a stockroom: bins, counts, and purchase orders. Because these APIs are under active development, they're available behind a feature preview. This lets you start building early and provide feedback on the schema and behavior before the APIs become stable. What's included Bins.
