3.6.372August 20, 2026

Historical Rate Limitations Are Clearer

3 changes
Improvement3 items
  • Rate documentation now distinguishes current recorded date windows from source-verified legal applicability.
  • The roadmap now covers complete evidence across targeted country updates and preserves the calculation behavior needed for exact future replay.
  • Older rate and calculation history will remain clearly identified when exact source evidence was not captured.
3.6.371August 20, 2026

Versioned Rate History Added to the Product Roadmap

3 changes
Improvement3 items
  • The roadmap now includes immutable TEDB source fingerprints and a named rate-data version on future rate-bearing responses.
  • Planned nightly checks will flag upstream changes, failures, missed checks, and stale data independently of customer requests.
  • Planned version and as-of controls will allow eligible calculations to be replayed with their original approved rate data while older records remain clearly identified where exact source evidence was not captured.
3.6.370August 20, 2026

Shopify Historical Imports Recover from Temporary Interruptions

2 changes
Fix2 items
  • Historical Shopify imports now retry when Shopify is temporarily unavailable or throttles the final buyer-classification access check.
  • If the store installation or permissions no longer qualify, the import still stops before protected buyer evidence is downloaded.
3.6.369August 20, 2026

Shopify Buyer Classification Rechecks Current Access

3 changes
Improvement3 items
  • Shopify-native buyer classification now rechecks the current store installation before showing eligible settings or processing historical import results.
  • Expired credentials can be refreshed before the Settings check, reducing unnecessary reconnect prompts.
  • If Shopify access changes while an import is running, protected buyer evidence remains unavailable instead of being processed from an older access state.
3.6.368August 20, 2026

Search Verification Covers Every Public Page

2 changes
Improvement2 items
  • Production checks now verify every canonical public page through the same public edge visitors and search crawlers use.
  • Crawler rules are evaluated for general crawlers, Google, and Bing so a page-specific block cannot leave part of the public site undiscoverable.
3.6.367August 18, 2026

Public Pages Stay Available in Search

2 changes
Improvement2 items
  • Public marketing, documentation, and company pages remain open to search engines, while account, administration, and other private areas remain excluded.
  • Search engines can continue discovering canonical public pages through the published site map.
3.6.366August 18, 2026

VAT Engine Icons Stay Consistent Across Devices

1 change
Improvement1 item
  • VAT Engine now uses one crisp, consistent icon family in browser tabs, bookmarks, search results, Apple home-screen shortcuts, and installed web apps.
3.6.365August 16, 2026

Development Stores Can Test Shopify Buyer Classification

3 changes
Improvement3 items
  • Eligible Shopify development stores can select native or hybrid buyer classification for controlled testing after protected customer data access is enabled for the development app.
  • Production stores remain protected by Shopify's separate public-app approval requirement.
  • Missing app identity, unknown deployment profiles, and inconsistent access states keep native choices unavailable.
3.6.364August 16, 2026

Same-Day Shopify Orders Appear in OSS Totals

4 changes
Fix4 items
  • Eligible committed Shopify orders dated today now appear immediately in OSS threshold totals and supporting evidence.
  • Transaction-ledger and compliance report date ranges now apply the same UTC reporting boundary.
  • Date-filtered OSS and compliance reports remain responsive as supply history grows.
  • Orders still need to satisfy the existing B2C, cross-border, classification, and filing-evidence rules before increasing the €10,000 threshold counter.
3.6.363August 15, 2026

OSS Overview Shows Domestic Shopify Supplies Clearly

3 changes
Fix3 items
  • The OSS Overview supporting evidence now includes committed, classified B2C Shopify supplies made within one EU country.
  • Domestic supplies remain outside the €10,000 EU cross-border distance-selling counter, and the page now explains the difference between visible supporting events and threshold-eligible events.
  • Orders that still need classification review remain outside both filing-ready totals and the threshold counter until resolved.
3.6.362August 15, 2026

Addressless Shopify Orders Stay Available for Review

3 changes
Fix3 items
  • Shopify order updates no longer fail repeatedly when Shopify provides neither a shipping country nor a billing country.
  • Affected order events enter the review queue with an unresolved tax destination and remain outside filing-ready totals until resolved.
  • Order preview now shows the unresolved destination and review status instead of rejecting the valid Shopify response.
3.6.361August 15, 2026

Shopify Preview Details Follow the Selected Classification Method

2 changes
Fix2 items
  • Order-metafield previews no longer describe intentionally unused Shopify buyer attribution as unavailable.
  • Native and hybrid classification methods continue to distinguish a missing buyer attribution from Shopify being unable to return the field.
