New

You can now manage a GoDaddy commerce store programmatically — configuration, catalog,
orders, customers, taxes, and payment records — so you can run a store
from your own code.

## What changed

Commerce endpoints are available across REST and GraphQL subgraphs. Each authenticates
with a Personal Access Token holding the matching `commerce.*` scope:

* **Stores and sales channels** (REST) — read a store and its attributes with
  `commerce.store:read`; list the channels a customer can buy from with
  `commerce.channel:read`.
* **Catalog** — `POST /v2/commerce/stores/{storeId}/catalog-subgraph`. Create and manage
  SKUs and SKU groups with `commerce.product:read` and `commerce.product:write`.
* **Orders** — `POST /v1/commerce/order-subgraph`. Take an order from DRAFT to OPEN to
  COMPLETED or CANCELED with `commerce.order:read`, `:create`, `:update`, `:complete`,
  and `:cancel`.
* **Customers** (REST) — list, read, create, and update customer records with
  `commerce.customer:read`, `:create`, and `:update`. Creating a customer de-duplicates
  against existing channel data instead of adding a second record.
* **Transactions** (REST) — read the authorizations, captures, sales, and refunds behind
  an order with `commerce.transaction:read`, so you can reconcile what was sold against
  what was paid.
* **Taxes** — `POST /v2/commerce/stores/{storeId}/tax-subgraph`. Create, update, and
  delete tax rates with `commerce.tax:read`, `:create`, `:write`, and `:delete`.

## Who is affected

Available to developers with a GoDaddy account and an active commerce store. These are
new endpoints on a new surface: no existing Domains, Auctions, or hosting integration
is affected, and no action is required.
