### Shopify’s deprecation of the \_total_price_usd event attribute for purchase events
As [Shopify announced](🔗), the event attribute\_ _total_price_usd_ retrieved for each purchase event will no longer be supported. This means that we will stop retrieving this field as of **May 10, 2023**.
If you have your currency set to US dollars, we recommend switching to the _**total_price**_ event attribute, as the retrieved value should be exactly the same.
If you have your currency set to other than USD, we also recommend switching to the _total_price_ attribute. Note that the value returned by the _total_price_ attribute will be different from \__total_price_usd_ since t_otal_price_ is returned for the currency represented in the _total_price_currency_ attribute and should respect the store currency.
### Non-personalized Weblayers
