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

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.
3.6.360August 14, 2026

Shopify-Native Classification Remains Safely Gated

3 changes
Improvement3 items
  • Shopify-native customer-classification choices remain unavailable until their required access approval and store behavior checks are complete.
  • The existing Order metafield classification method remains available during that verification period.
  • Missing, unavailable, or legally insufficient buyer evidence continues to enter review instead of being guessed as B2B or B2C.
3.6.359August 14, 2026

Shopify Classification Stays Consistent Across Imports and Reports

5 changes
Improvement5 items
  • Direct order imports, historical imports, completed webhook updates, and order previews now follow the same customer-classification outcomes.
  • When Shopify returns an incomplete direct order response, VAT Engine stops the background import and keeps the unresolved buyer evidence available for review instead of importing partial data.
  • Orders with incomplete or conflicting buyer evidence now appear consistently in the store-specific review queue and App Home blocker count, while resolved orders stay out of that queue.
  • Incomplete buyer evidence remains outside filing-ready totals until the merchant resolves it.
  • Refunds and cancellations preserve the customer classification of their related order without duplicating standalone sale totals.
3.6.358August 14, 2026

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.
