Shopify Updates Receive Consistent Quality Checks

2 changes
Improvement2 items
  • Shopify improvements now receive a consistent quality review before they are considered ready for release.

3.6.294August 1, 2026

Older Shopify Deletion Safeguards Stay Protective

2 changes
Security2 items
  • VAT Engine no longer narrows an older Shopify deletion safeguard merely because the number of protected order records appears to match.

3.6.293July 31, 2026

Shopify Privacy Safeguards Stay Precisely Scoped

3 changes
Security3 items
  • Older order-specific deletion safeguards now remain effective after a Shopify store is reconnected without blocking other orders for the same VAT Engine account.
  • VAT Engine remains available while an administrator reviews an older deletion safeguard during an update.
  • Older safeguards that can still be associated with an account are transferred automatically during an update; safeguards without recoverable ownership remain protective until an administrator completes a privacy review.
3.6.292July 31, 2026

Shopify Privacy Protections Survive Reconnection

3 changes
Security3 items
  • Older Shopify deletion safeguards now remain associated with the affected account across store reconnection without interrupting customer-type processing for unrelated accounts.
  • VAT Engine updates no longer restore customer-type information covered by a store deletion safeguard.
  • Adding a note to a completed exact-order deletion request no longer broadens it to unrelated orders in that store.
3.6.291July 31, 2026

Consented Audience Measurement Loads Reliably

2 changes
Fix2 items

Regional Analytics Requests Work Reliably

2 changes
Fix2 items
  • Consent-gated Google Analytics collection now works with the regional connection endpoint observed in production browsers.
