Introduction to the Warning Code
With the release of API version 2025-10 of the GraphQL Storefront API, Shopify has introduced the SELLING_PLAN_NOT_APPLICABLE_ON_COMPANY_LOCATION warning code. This addition aims to provide better clarity and error handling for B2B transactions involving selling plans.
When Is This Warning Triggered?
This warning code applies specifically to B2B customers and is triggered under the following circumstances:
- A logged-in B2B customer creates a cart with a selling plan.
- A logged-in B2B customer adds merchandise with a selling plan to their cart.
Implications for Developers
Developers must account for this warning when building or updating their B2B storefronts to avoid unexpected cart issues. This includes:
- Ensuring that selling plans are configured correctly for company locations.
- Testing cart functionality for B2B customers using selling plans.
- Providing fallback solutions or error messages if this warning is encountered.
Testing Your Implementation
To mitigate potential disruptions, developers should thoroughly test their storefronts under scenarios where this warning might be triggered. Use GraphQL queries and mutations to simulate various selling plan and cart combinations to ensure compliance with Shopify’s new API behavior.
Conclusion
The introduction of the SELLING_PLAN_NOT_APPLICABLE_ON_COMPANY_LOCATION warning code underscores the importance of tailoring your Shopify setup to suit the nuances of B2B transactions. By staying informed and proactive, you can ensure a smooth shopping experience for your customers and maintain robust API integrations.
