Shopify Order Updates Preserve Review Decisions During Retries

3 changes
Fix3 items
  • A manual review completed while a Shopify classification update is running now remains authoritative for the affected order.
  • Temporary processing interruptions resume the existing update instead of losing completed progress or repeating already updated orders.
  • The Activity screen retains the accumulated event count while an interrupted classification update waits to resume.
3.6.357August 14, 2026

Shopify Mode Changes Update Eligible Orders Safely

4 changes
Improvement4 items
  • Changing a connected store's customer-classification method now queues eligible non-finalized Shopify sales for an automatic update.
  • Each order is updated as one unit, so an unsuccessful attempt cannot leave only part of an order changed.
  • Filed or locked periods, manually reviewed decisions, corrections, refunds, cancellations, and excluded records remain unchanged.
  • The Activity screen now identifies customer reclassification work and shows its progress alongside other Shopify activity.
3.6.356August 14, 2026

Shopify Classification Settings Load Reliably

Fix3 items
  • Customer classification choices now load when a merchant opens Settings for a healthy Shopify connection.
  • Refreshing Settings rechecks current classification availability without loading unrelated setup controls.

3.6.355August 14, 2026

Shopify Classification Availability Refreshes Immediately

4 changes
Fix4 items
  • App Home now refreshes classification availability when Shopify connection or permission conditions change, even when the saved classification preference is unchanged.
  • The Refresh action now rechecks those conditions while an unsaved classification choice is still open.
  • A repaired connection can enable an eligible classification choice without requiring a full page reload.
  • A newly unavailable choice is blocked immediately while preserving the merchant's unsaved selection and confirmations.
3.6.354August 14, 2026

Shopify Customer Classification Is Store Configurable

4 changes
Improvement4 items
  • Shopify App Home now shows the available customer-classification methods for each connected store.
  • Unavailable Shopify-native choices explain the action needed before they can be selected, while the existing Order metafield workflow remains available.
  • Classification changes require explicit confirmation, protect unsaved edits, and apply only to future imports rather than previously imported or filed records.
  • Hybrid mode explains when an Order metafield overrides Shopify buyer attribution and when VAT Engine falls back to Shopify evidence.
3.6.353August 14, 2026

Shopify Classification Blockers Stay Actionable

3 changes
Improvement3 items
  • App Home can now retain the specific approved action needed when a Shopify customer-classification choice is temporarily unavailable.
  • That approved action now remains available to the classification settings screen after the browser request completes.
  • Unrecognized, incomplete, or unrelated blocker information is shown as a general unavailable state instead of exposing uncertain technical detail.
3.6.352August 14, 2026

Shopify Classification Preferences Use a Verified Store Session

3 changes
Security3 items
  • Shopify classification preferences are now loaded and saved only for the store and VAT Engine account verified by the current App Home session.
  • A stale preference or mismatched connection is rejected instead of changing another or outdated Shopify connection.
  • Oversized or invalid settings requests fail safely, and preference responses are not stored in browser or intermediary caches.
3.6.351August 14, 2026

Shopify Classification Changes Recheck the Connected Store

3 changes
Security3 items
  • Shopify classification settings now recheck the connected storefront when reading or saving a preference.
  • A reconnect or storefront identity change during a save is rejected as stale instead of applying the preference to an uncertain connection.
  • Rejected stale changes do not alter the saved classification revision or create a successful settings-change record.
3.6.350August 14, 2026

Shopify Classification Preferences Stay Account Bound

3 changes
Security3 items
  • Shopify classification preferences now require the connected store and signed-in VAT Engine account to match before they can be read or changed.
  • Changes reject stale settings and unavailable Shopify permissions instead of applying an uncertain classification option.
  • Native Shopify buyer attribution requires explicit merchant confirmation, while the existing Order metafield option remains independent of native data access.
3.6.349August 14, 2026

Shopify Classification Changes Apply During Active Imports

3 changes
Security3 items
  • Active Shopify imports now recheck the connected store's saved classification choice before requesting native buyer attribution.
  • Switching a store to the Order metafield workflow stops later native buyer-attribution reads in the same running import.
  • A pending historical result containing native buyer attribution is not retrieved after that setting changes.
3.6.348August 14, 2026

Shopify Buyer Classification Follows Each Store's Saved Policy

5 changes
Improvement5 items
  • Shopify order previews and imports now apply the same saved customer-classification policy for the connected store.
  • The existing Order metafield workflow remains unchanged, including its review behavior for missing or invalid values.
  • Native buyer attribution is requested only when the connected store's saved policy needs it and approved access is available.
  • Previously imported records keep the exact policy revision and classification evidence used when they were created.
  • Planned native and hybrid choices fail safely when buyer evidence or the required merchant confirmation is unavailable.
3.6.347August 14, 2026

Empty Shopify History Imports Finish Cleanly

2 changes
Improvement2 items
  • A historical Shopify import that finds no orders now completes without attempting to retrieve a result file that does not exist.
  • Historical imports containing buyer-attribution data still require current approved access before VAT Engine retrieves their results.
