Solutions

Check the Shopify status code: 401/403 means invalid API credentials or missing access scopes; 429 means rate limiting - retry later.
Verify the shop name and access token in plugin options, and that the private app has the required read scopes.

When it happens

Trigger: Thrown at packages/gatsby-source-shopify/src/source-from-operation.ts:140 when the library encounters an invalid state.

Common situations: Occurs when the Shopify Admin API returns a non-2xx response (e.g. 401/403 bad credentials, 429 rate limit). Verify the access token, scopes, and shop domain, and retry after rate limiting subsides.
