A Shopify identity-provider unlink workflow can help support teams recover customer access after an account-linking error, provider migration, or verified security incident. It can also sign a customer out of active sessions and change how the account is linked on the next login. That makes the operation sensitive and unsuitable for casual or fully automated

Shopify’s October 2026 release notes state that inventory shipment webhook
