These four Store calls in the Trading API are scheduled for decommission on September 30, 2022.

The new Stores platform no longer supports custom store pages and other customization functionality, so the noted containers and fields in the GetStore call response payload are scheduled for decommission on September 30, 2022. The Store data that will still be returned in this call's response include store category/hierarchy information, store name, store description, store URL, and store subscription level. |

The CharityNumber field is used to specify the PayPal Giving Fund identifier of a non-profit organization and the CharityID field is used to specify the unique eBay-generated identifier of a non-profit organization. All non-profit organizations registered as a charity organization on eBay's platform have both identifiers, but the CharityNumber field will stop being accepted after January 16, 2023. CharityNumber will also stop being returned in GetBidderList, GetItem, GetOrderTransactions, and GetSellerList after January 16, 2023, and it will be removed from the Trading WSDL. |

If this container is used for Add/Revise/Relist calls after it has been decommisioned, it will be ignored and dropped, and a warning message will be returned to the seller. For 'GET' calls, the container will still be returned if Buyer Requirements are set at the account level. |

Business Policies Management API | All | 2021/03/23 | TBD | The Business Policies Management API is deprecated and is scheduled for decommission in 2022.
