What changed
New Features Product variant intents The React SDK added typed product variant intent hooks for selecting variants, adding variants to cart, and sending buyers to express checkout: useSelectVariant wraps select:shopify/ProductVariant. useAddToCart wraps add_to_cart:shopify/ProductVariant. useBuyNow wraps buy_now:shopify/ProductVariant.
