description: >-
  Kite Hill itself publishes no API versioning, deprecation or SLA policy, and runs no status
  page. The versioning contract that actually governs the surfaces served from kite-hill.com
  is Shopify's, and it is machine-readable: the publicApiVersions query on Kite Hill's own
  endpoint returns the live support matrix, captured verbatim below on 2026-08-23.

    Older versions still answer: 2025-07 and 2025-01 both returned 200 to a live query on
    2026-08-23 even though publicApiVersions no longer lists them as supported.

    note: >-
      Deprecation is signalled in the contract itself rather than in a policy document. No
      Sunset or Deprecation HTTP headers (RFC 8594) were observed on any response.
status_page:
  provider_status_page: none
  note: >-
    Kite Hill runs no status page. The underlying platform publishes one at
    https://www.shopifystatus.com, which is Shopify's, not Kite Hill's — recorded here for
    an operator's benefit but NOT wired as a StatusPage pointer, because the provider does
    not publish it.

    General inquiries contactus@, sales@ and media@kite-hill.com are published on the contact
    page. There is no developer or API support channel.
