  note: >-
    Every paid tier includes the full API surface — there is no API-gated plan and no per-call
    pricing. What the tier buys is HEADROOM: the GraphQL Admin API rate limit scales from 100
    points/second on Standard to 200 on Advanced, 1,000 on Plus and 2,000 on Commerce Components
    (enterprise). Plus additionally unlocks B2B and a customizable checkout, both of which are API
    surfaces. See rate-limits/shopify-rate-limits.yml.
