API Architecture
Two API Versions
| Version | Base URL | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| V2 | /stores/{hash}/v2/ |
Legacy — orders, some customer endpoints |
| V3 | /stores/{hash}/v3/ |
Modern — most resources, JSON:API-like |
V3 is preferred for all new development. V2 is still required for some resources that haven't been migrated.
