Will this package be upgrade to JS Buy v3?

[KasimMahroof]

The supporting package, js-buy-sdk, is being deprecated as of January 2025 and looks like customers won't be able to purchase anything if you don't update by July 1st, 2025.

The two path ways the deprecation notice suggests to take is upgrade to v3 of the package or move completely to using the Storefront API Client.

Will this package be updated to follow what has been suggested as part of the upgrade guide?

I have a similar question.

This is a very, very critical question that I believe will affect a LOT of stores.
This buy-button-js library provides so much of the UI (cart, buy buttons etc) that I didn't have to create from scratch.
Ditching this repo and converting to using only the Storefront API would require more than updating a few calls. I would have to build all of the UI functionality myself that this library is providing.
And, I have used this library in many websites for my agency. For me, and I'm sure for many others, this library not getting updated would be a really big deal.

@KasimMahroof I just got off a group call called "Ask the Experts: Shopify Checkout API Deprecation with Shopify Checkout Team". I raised this question to them and they said they they are planning on updating the js-buy-sdk to v3 of the buy sdk. They are aiming to have the V3 ready by end of January (which, they said will just be a "remapping" of the underlying calls mostly). And then this will get updated shortly after.
However, at some point, this library wont be maintained in this way anymore. They said that there might be a community driven solution, there might be a Shopify solution for this kind of UI component library, but there's no official roadmap on their side, and we'd just have to wait and see on the community side

[SharpleafCC]

Oh, and they also said that they would try and update the messaging about this, since there's literally 0 information on the buy-button-js-specific pages about this deprecation or what's going on :)

This deprecation surely would impact the Buy Button sales channel, since the snippet of code it asks you to copy and paste uses a copy of the buy button script at https://sdks.shopifycdn.com/buy-button/latest/buy-button-storefront.min.js

If I'm understanding this right, Shopify will also need to update this script, otherwise every buy button that has been embedded using this feature will stop working.

I updated my admin backend api calls for my custom app to use 2024-10 api and I can no longer use this library with my storefront access token from the same custom app. So I guess April is now? I'm not sure if anyone else is having this problem.

[cardinalm7]

Has there been any progress on this issue? Any timelines? Will this package be upgraded to use JS Buy SDK v3?

[jeffglynn]

My buy button has also stopped working. This sucks

[merwinpoulose]

I have a similar question, will this be upgraded before April 1st ?

[evaldas-raisutis]

Can someone explain why there are 2 dates floating around?
1st of April
1st of July

Which one is the correct deadline to move to another solution? If the issue is that API version 2024-10 will no longer be available, then the deadline should be 1st of July, because then all API requests to 2024-10 will be forwarded to 2025-01 which no longer provides APIs necessary for the buy button JS Library? Am I missing something?

So if I'm using latest version of buy button JS, shouldn't it continue to work until July?

One of my stores went down last week and I haven't been able to get it fixed.
Shopify/js-buy-sdk#1001 (comment)

While online with chat today, Shopify's support website went down with an nginx error 503.

Shopify's CEO is screwing around on Twitter posting about AI, his friends who crash race cars, and how Americans are too dumb to use the metric system.

Meanwhile when you click a buy button it still says this in the console:

Uncaught (in promise) Error: [{"message":"The Checkout API has been deprecated and is not accessible for new usage. For more information, please visit https://shopify.dev/changelog/deprecation-of-checkout-apis","path":["checkoutCreate"],"locations":[]}]

Nothing has changed on my site in over a year.

Hi folks, although the general date for the checkout API sunset is April 1st, any shops using the Buy Button JS library will receive an automatic one-time extension until July 1st for the Checkout API sunset (ie: sunset of SF API version 2024-04).

The Buy Button JS library will get updated to the JS Buy SDK v3 before April 1st.

@jeffglynn we are sorry to hear that your Buy Button has stopped working. Could you please let me know the following information (or open up a Shopify support ticket): your shop ID, date your Buy Button stopped working, and link to the webpage containing your Buy Button.

Hi @kdaviduik ,
We are having issues with 2 of our 3 sites. I reached out to support via our Partner Portal but their response was not very helpful. Are you able to reach out to me directly in regards to ticket ID is 55428849
