3.6.88July 3, 2026

Shopify Bulk Backfill Stops On Truncated Corrections

2 changes

Fix1 item

Shopify historical bulk backfill now refuses to import an order when refund transactions or refund order adjustments were truncated in the bulk snapshot, instead of writing potentially misclassified correction events

Improvement1 item

The bulk worker now applies the same incomplete-order blocker gate as the direct Shopify preview and detail-import path, keeping correction settlement and adjustment totals fail-closed when Shopify signals more pages exist

3.6.87July 2, 2026

Shopify Shipping Tax Allocation First Slice

3 changes

Feature1 item

Shopify preview, controlled import, and background sync now keep shipping charges, refunded shipping rows, and shipping-linked adjustments as separate canonical events and auto-classify them when the observed shipping VAT matches the destination country standard rate

Improvement2 items

Zero-rate, reduced-rate, exempt, or otherwise non-standard Shopify shipping tax now stays in review with an explicit shipping allocation diagnostic instead of remaining an undocumented provisional path
The Shopify order preview now shows shipping allocation status, observed versus standard VAT rate, and the derived rate category for each affected normalized event before import

3.6.86July 2, 2026

Shopify Correction Events Keep Enrichment

2 changes

Fix1 item

Credit-note-only refund lines, cancellation residuals, and linked refund-adjustment lines now stay eligible for Shopify product-tax mapping and country/customer-type enrichment instead of falling out of the correction workflow behind outdated review-reason gates

Improvement1 item

VAT Engine now keeps product-mapping diagnostics and customer-type resolution consistent across sale, refund, credit-note, cancellation, and linked adjustment events when Shopify provides the same underlying line evidence

3.6.85July 2, 2026

Shopify Late Corrections Stop Rewriting Closed Periods

3 changes

Feature1 item

Late Shopify refund, credit-note, adjustment, and cancellation-residual events now preserve locked or filed VAT return periods by landing on the first later open correction date when VAT Engine can link them back to an already imported original sale

Improvement2 items

Unsupported late Shopify corrections without an original-sale link now fail with an explicit review blocker instead of looping on retries or pretending a closed-period rewrite is acceptable
The Shopify preview/import surface now calls out when VAT Engine stored a correction on a later date than Shopify originally reported, so operators can see why the closed-period snapshot stayed immutable

3.6.84July 1, 2026

Shopify Refund Corrections Become Explicit

2 changes

Feature1 item

Shopify preview, controlled import, background sync, and bulk-history replay now distinguish settled refunds, credit-note-only corrections, order adjustments, and late cancellation residuals instead of flattening every negative order change into the same generic refund shape

Improvement1 item

VAT Engine now keeps the original sale link for Shopify correction rows whenever the store provides stable line references, and the order preview shows the difference between cash refunds, credit notes, adjustments, and cancellations before import

3.6.83July 1, 2026

Shopify Country Evidence Becomes Deterministic

3 changes

Feature1 item

Shopify preview, controlled import, and background sync now resolve tax-destination country deterministically from country-code-only Shopify evidence, using shipping-first rules for physical goods and billing-first rules for non-shipping supplies

Improvement2 items

VAT Engine now uses Shopify tax-exemption and purchasing-entity signals to resolve B2B or B2C status without expanding into customer-contact fields, while ambiguous tax-exempt-without-company orders stay in review
The Shopify order preview now shows the destination-country policy and customer-type diagnostic for each normalized event before import

3.6.82June 30, 2026

Shopify Truncated Catalog Signals Stay Reviewable

2 changes

Fix1 item

Shopify product tax mapping no longer returns a confident tag or app-metafield match when VAT Engine had to truncate the underlying catalog signals during evidence minimization

Improvement1 item

When retained Shopify tag or app-owned metafield data is incomplete, VAT Engine now stops at that matcher boundary and keeps the event in review with an explicit signals-unavailable diagnostic instead of classifying from a partial subset

3.6.81June 30, 2026

Shopify Webhook Repair Becomes Clearer

3 changes

Fix1 item

Shopify reconnect and subscription-repair failures now show the specific rejection reason returned by Shopify instead of a generic webhook-registration error

Improvement2 items

VAT Engine now asks Shopify to deliver only the stable identifier fields needed for supported order, refund, and uninstall webhook automation, which reduces repair failures on stricter subscription checks
When Shopify blocks protected order topics, the repair flow now points the operator to the missing Shopify app access setup instead of leaving the rejection unexplained

3.6.80June 30, 2026

Shopify Activity Feedback Stays In Context

2 changes

Improvement2 items

Shopify integration activity actions now show success and error feedback inside the section where the action was triggered, so subscription repair, webhook replay, privacy updates, purge actions, and job cancellation no longer feel silent when the operator is lower on the page
These section-level alerts now scroll into view and use the same shared customer-account styling as the rest of the dashboard, making failures easier to notice without breaking the existing layout

3.6.79June 30, 2026

Shopify Metadata Import Hardening

2 changes

Fix1 item

Oversized Shopify product tags or app-owned product metadata no longer break VAT Engine order preview, import, or sync for affected orders

Improvement1 item

VAT Engine now stores only bounded product-tax-mapping signals needed for classification, and incomplete catalog signals fall back to reviewable diagnostics instead of blocking the order path

3.6.78June 29, 2026

Shopify Product Tax Mapping Goes Live

3 changes

Feature1 item

Shopify order preview, controlled import, and background sync now apply VAT Engine product tax mappings using product IDs, variant IDs, SKUs, tags, categories, and supported app-owned product metadata

Improvement2 items

The Shopify preview now shows what mapping matched, which catalog signals were used, and why a row may still remain in review before final filing
VAT Engine now requests the minimal extra Shopify catalog permission needed for this classification work, adding product-read access while keeping customer-contact and street-address data out of the connector scope

3.6.77June 29, 2026

Shopify Automatic Source Attribution

3 changes

Feature1 item

Shopify order preview, controlled import, and background sync now reuse the connected source profile mapping plus matching shop, store, and channel aliases so imported storefront activity lands under the intended VAT Engine reporting source more consistently

Improvement2 items

Direct Shopify integration mapping now stays ahead of alias fallback, and verified store identity matches outrank broader channel-label aliases when VAT Engine has to resolve attribution automatically
The Shopify order preview now shows which source attribution match VAT Engine will use before import, while richer fulfillment-location-based matching remains deferred until the connector intentionally expands its Shopify permissions
