Shopify Release Notes

On August 24, 2026, Shopify Managed Markets will stop supporting delivered duty unpaid (DDU) in every country and region where it supports delivered duty paid (DDP).

What's changing

• Markets that use or inherit DDU automatically move to DDP wherever Managed Markets supports it.

• Customers in those markets will now pay duties and taxes at checkout, not to the carrier or customs on delivery.

Collecting duties and taxes at checkout helps avoid surprise costs on delivery and makes international shopping more predictable.

What you need to do

If you want your customers to keep paying on delivery, turn off Shopify Managed Markets before August 24, 2026. Otherwise, no action is needed.

Learn more about Managed Markets in the Shopify Help Center.

We've updated printed receipts in Shopify POS so you can manage sale, return, exchange, gift, and gift card receipts in one place. Return and exchange receipts now print as a single section with one amount summary at the bottom, instead of two separate sections with two subtotals.

What’s new?
The new content editor in the POS channel applies your branding, header, and footer across every receipt type, lets you override by location only when you need to, and includes built-in fields for return policy, signature line, and regional tax IDs (VAT, GST/QST, ABN).
Gift receipts no longer show line items so you can print multiple at once, and you can choose whether gift card receipts print automatically.
For everyday changes that used to require the Liquid editor, you can now do it directly in the editor with a real-time preview.

Migrating from Liquid customizations
If your shop uses a customized Liquid receipt template, you have until January 1, 2027 to move to the new editor. Preview and configure your new template in the content editor while your existing Liquid template keeps printing. When you're ready, flip the shop-level switch to make the new format live. Note that switching is irreversible. Any shops still on Liquid on January 1, 2027 will be migrated to the new format automatically. …

Shop Campaigns performance data, including ad spend, sales, ROAS, and customer acquisition cost, is now available through ShopifyQL. This means your analytics and reporting apps can pull Shop Campaigns data directly, so you can see campaign performance alongside your other marketing channels.

What this means for you

If you use an analytics app like Triple Whale, Northbeam, or Elevar, your provider can now integrate Shop Campaigns data into their dashboards. Check with your provider on their timeline.

If your team builds custom reports in tools like Power BI, Tableau, or Looker Studio, you can connect to this data through ShopifyQL. You can also view Shop Campaigns directly in the Analytics or Advertising tab in your admin.

What's available

Campaign-level performance by customer segment and time period: ad spend, sales, orders, return on ad spend, average order value, and average customer acquisition cost.

Get more reach with Microsoft Advertising

Microsoft Advertising is now available as a channel in Campaign Autopilot. Autopilot can help create a Microsoft Advertising account for you or connect to an existing one, then run Performance Max campaigns alongside your other channels. Budget is allocated automatically based on performance across all your connected channels.

Campaign Autopilot is available in early access. Head to the growth tab to sign up or get started.

You can now see more business context directly on your analytics charts with annotations. Annotations mark important events on a specific date or date range, such as a product launch, marketing campaign, sale event, supplier change, landing page launch, popup store, or business milestone.

When an app adds an annotation, Shopify admin will show which app added it, such as with the app's name or logo. This helps you understand where the context came from while reviewing your reports.

Use annotations to compare what happened in your business with changes in your analytics data, including sales, sessions, conversion rate, average order value, units sold, returns, or fulfillment performance.

For example, you can review whether sales changed during a campaign, whether conversion changed after a landing page launch, or whether fulfillment metrics changed after a supplier or warehouse update.

Annotations don't change your report data. They add context to help you understand what might have influenced your metrics.

For more information, refer to Annotations in Shopify reports.

WhatsApp marketing is now part of Shopify Messaging, helping you serve customers globally and drive sales with another channel to market and promote your business.

Create your WhatsApp campaigns using pre-built templates or your own branded content. Add media from your product catalog, and set up interactive buttons and keyword replies that engage your customers when they click or reply with a keyword. With flexible pricing, you can scale up WhatsApp marketing campaigns during busy seasons and scale down when you need to—only paying for the messages you send.

To learn how to create and send WhatsApp marketing campaigns, visit the Shopify Help Center.

You can now create UPS return labels from any fulfilled order in your Shopify admin. Select an order, create a return, and choose UPS as the carrier. The label is sent to your customer by email or a shareable link.

You can purchase return labels through Shopify's discounted UPS rates, or you can connect your UPS account to Shopify and create UPS return labels using your own account rates.

You're only charged when the carrier scans the label—unused labels expire after six months at no charge. Available for US domestic orders.

To learn more, visit our Help Center.

We've removed the 8-currency limit on bank accounts for multi-currency payouts in Shopify Payments. Now the rule is simply one bank account per supported payout currency, so you can be paid out in every currency your region and plan allow.

If you have an international customer base, multi-currency payouts let you receive money in the currency your customers paid in, rather than converting it back to your domestic currency first. That means fewer currency conversions, less exposure to exchange rates, and balances that sit in the same currencies you already use to pay suppliers, staff, and taxes abroad. Multi-currency payouts are available on eligible plans and regions, and fees apply to payouts you receive in non-domestic currencies.

Ready to set this up? Add a bank account for each currency you want to be paid in from your Shopify Payments payout settings, and read Managing multi-currency payouts with Shopify Payments in the Shopify Help Center for plan requirements, supported currencies, and fees.

Adding or swapping a POS device used to mean typing credentials on the new device - usually right when your store is the busiest. Now you can sign in to a new device by approving it from a nearby device that is already logged in.

It’s as simple as picking up: a signed device nearby detects it over Bluetooth, a staff member with the POS Device Setup user role taps approve and enters their store manager PIN, and the new device is signed into your shop and location. No Bluetooth? Scan a QR code from a logged-in device instead.

By default, new devices are signed in for today only, so devices don't stay logged in after the event. Merchants who want longer sessions can enable Forever in POS channel admin.
To learn more about turning this feature on per shop, permission and settings, visit the Help Center.

We’ve released Cart sharing for Shopify POS. Staff can build carts and quickly switch between different customer carts across devices. Carts save automatically as staff build them, and any team member can pick up, continue, and close any cart from any device. This enables true floor-to-register selling: a sales associate builds a cart with a customer on a mobile device, passes it off, and another staff member closes the sale at the register. A dedicated cart view keeps your team’s open carts organized, filtered by default to the signed-in staff member. Any cart converts to a draft order in one swipe.

Cart sharing is available now for all POS Pro merchants in version 11.11. Learn more about enabling Cart sharing in the Help Center.

Apps can now add business context directly to your analytics charts with annotations.

Annotations mark important events on a specific date or date range, such as a product launch, collection launch, marketing campaign, discount, checkout offer, supplier change, landing page launch, payment method change, popup store, market launch, program change, or business milestone.

When an app adds an annotation, we will display their name and icon alongside it. This helps you understand where the context came from while reviewing your reports.

Use annotations to compare what happened in your business with changes in your analytics data, including some of your favorite metrics such as sales, sessions, conversion rate, average order value, units sold, or fulfillment performance.

For example, you can review whether sales changed during a campaign, conversion values changed after a landing page launch, average order value changed during a discount, or fulfillment metrics changed after a supplier or warehouse update.

Annotations don't change your report data. They add context to help you understand what might have influenced trends or changes.

Shopify Managed Markets now supports buyer cancellation and return requests for applicable EU orders to comply with newly established Right of Withdrawal requirements for online stores.

What’s supported:
* Applicable EU Managed Markets orders now include a 14-day cancellation and return rule, managed by Shopify’s Merchant of Record (MOR) partner Global-e.
* Buyers can request cancellation or return through supported Shopify buyer surfaces. Merchants are responsible for procuring return labels.

No action is required to continue using Managed Markets for applicable EU orders. Learn more about EU tax and customs guidance in the Shopify Help Center.

This release expands collection capabilities to help merchants run complex merchandising strategies without workarounds such as duplicate lists or third-party apps. Previously, collections were created only by automated conditions or hand-picked products.

You can now build a collection from multiple sources, target specific variants, reuse other collections, and more. Highlights include:

• Multiple sources in one collection. Combine automated conditions, hand-picked products, exclusions, other collections, and sources from apps in a single collection.

• Variant-level collections. Build collections around specific variants, such as a size or color. Those variants appear on collection pages, in filters, and in supported sales channels, including Online Store and POS.

• *_Collections as building blocks. *_Add a collection as a source inside another, so parent collections stay in sync when source collections change.

• ** Reuse across your business. **Apply the same collection in supported workflows such as discounts and taxes, including variant-level collections.

• ** Redesigned collections admin UI:** Use a visual grid for drag-to-reorder and bulk moves, list view for detail, and control over the sort order customers see on the collection page.

• Sidekick support. Build and update collections with Sidekick on admin and mobile.

There are no breaking changes for existing collections. …

Selling internationally is one of the biggest growth levers for Canadian and UK merchants and one of the most complex. Managed Markets removes that complexity by making Global-e your merchant of record for international orders. Your customers experience a localized checkout optimized for clarity and conversion, and you fulfill orders the same way you handle them at home. No surprise fees or delays

What you get

• Transparent product pricing without surprise fees at checkout or delivery: International buyers see duties-inclusive prices, pay in their local currency, and have no surprise fees at delivery (DDP).

• Built-in international tax compliance. Global-e registers, collects, and remits tax in the destination country on your behalf.

• Discounted DHL Express and FedEx labels. Buy and print directly from your Shopify admin alongside your domestic orders.

• Automatic tariff management. Managed Markets classifies your products and assigns Harmonized System codes for your products for smooth customs clearance & accurate duties calculations. Import tax and duty collection is guaranteed - you’ll never receive an adjustment.

• Daily payouts in your local currency. CAD for Canadian stores, GBP for UK stores, processed daily by Shopify Payments alongside domestic sales.

• Local payment methods with Shopify Payments …

You can now combine multiple product discounts on the same item, so overlapping
promotions apply together without cart conflicts or workarounds. Previously, only
one product discount could apply to an item.

For example, run a sitewide 20% off the winter collection sale alongside $10
off boots from an affiliate partnership. When a customer adds winter boots to
their cart, both discounts apply automatically.

What you can do

• Combine multiple product discounts on the same item.
• Combine discount codes with automatic product discounts on the same item.

How it works

1. Tag your discounts to group them (for example: loyalty, seasonal, affiliate).
2. Set which tagged discounts can combine.
3. Discounts apply automatically at checkout, following your rules.

Shopify Managed Markets merchants can now use a managed pricing strategy across supported international markets. Pricing will account for cross-border costs like guaranteed duties and import taxes, transaction fees, and currency conversion in product prices, so international buyers can see stable, transparent pricing throughout their journey with no surprise fees at checkout or delivery.

When managed pricing is active, duties and import taxes are included in the buyer’s product price instead of being shown as a separate duty line at checkout. The duty and import tax amounts displayed to buyers are guaranteed at checkout, which means Shopify Managed Markets covers the difference if the amount charged by customs is different.

Managed international pricing also helps keep your payout amounts consistent with domestic orders. Buyers pay for import taxes, duties, foreign exchange fees, and Managed Markets fees directly through the adapted price, and your payout is processed by Shopify Payments.

You can review the localized price breakdown on the product detail page using the View as demo. After an order is placed, you can review the price breakdown in the order’s payment section to see how the international price was calculated.

Building workflows often means recreating steps you've already set up somewhere else. Now you can copy an existing step and paste it, instead of rebuilding it from scratch.

Select an action or condition step and use Cmd/Ctrl+C to copy it, then Cmd/Ctrl+V to paste. Flow keeps the copied step's configuration field values and, for conditions, its logic—so a pasted step arrives ready to use with only minor edits. You can paste within the same workflow or into a different one.

This makes it faster to reuse steps you've carefully configured, whether you're expanding a single workflow or standardizing steps across several.

A few things to note for this first release:

- You can copy and paste one action or condition step at a time (triggers and multi-select

copy/paste aren't supported yet).

- Steps that use a custom configuration page, such as Send Marketing Email, can't be copied.

For more information about how it works, visit the documentation. For questions and feedback, visit the Shopify community.

Effective July 8, 2026, U.S. importers of certain products are required by the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) to perform electronic filing (eFiling) via the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) during the entry process. Previously, records only needed to be available for goods upon request; now, certificate data must be transmitted for every regulated transaction at the border.

Merchants and their suppliers are responsible for completing the electronic filing with government agencies.

New feature:

CPSC eFiling fields that are now available in product disclosures, giving you a structured way to store product-level data needed to maintain compliance on certain U.S. imports. The new disclosure fields support the reference CPSC eFiling path. The inputs are shared with integrated fulfillment providers; they are not shown to buyers:

• Reference PGA Message Set fields for products with certificate data pre-loaded in the CPSC Product Registry, using Certifier ID, Product ID, and Version ID.

For merchants leveraging Managed Markets to sell into the US, Global-e will use these inputs for smoother, faster US Customs crossings. Merchants not using Managed Markets should consult CPSC resources and your broker, carrier, manufacturer, testing lab, or compliance advisor for best practices. …
