- ⚠️ Shopify dependency: Awtomic is built on top of Shopify, so changes to Shopify products or customer data can affect Awtomic subscriptions. Maintain synchronization between both systems.
- ⚠️ Subscription state management: Be careful when programmatically modifying subscription states (pause, resume, cancel) as these actions can trigger billing and customer notification workflows.
- ⚠️ API key security: The API key provides full access to your Awtomic data. Store it securely and rotate it periodically. Never commit API keys to version control.
