The ProductTaxonomyNodes GraphQL type, previously deprecated during Shopify's transition to the new Standard Product Taxonomy, will be removed from visibility in the 2026-01 release.
Background Context
The deprecation of the ProductTaxonomyNodes type is part of Shopify's initiative to modernize product categorization with the Standard Product Taxonomy. This update includes changes to taxonomy structures, node IDs, leaf/non-leaf classifications, and category naming conventions, aiming to offer merchants and partners more precise and comprehensive product categorization.
Impact Assessment
Based on usage analytics, we anticipate minimal impact from this change, as the ProductTaxonomyNodes type shows near-zero usage in our GraphQL Usage Dashboard.
