3.6.421August 31, 2026

Calculation History and Shopify Dispatch Stay Consistent

2 changes
Fix2 items
  • Calculation replay now confirms that the stored country, currency, tax class, transaction time, and source still match the sealed original request before reporting an exact match.
  • Shopify completed fulfillment evidence that remains ambiguous now stays in review instead of being replaced by a lower-priority store dispatch default.
3.6.420August 31, 2026

Calculation History and Store Review Are More Reliable

15 changes
Feature4 items
  • Eligible new API calculations can now be replayed from their sealed original inputs, pinned rate evidence, and calculator version.
  • Imported-event review now uses governed factual or exception actions, with an explicit preview before a bulk change is applied.
  • Closed-period corrections now require the applicable scheme and jurisdiction policy instead of choosing an open period automatically.
  • Historical comparisons now report unavailable tax-class coverage separately from a rate version that is not approved for comparison.
Improvement5 items
  • Shopify completed fulfillment origin is used first; completed line-bound logistics evidence is checked next, and reviewed source defaults apply only when completed evidence is absent.
  • Shopify tax-inclusion and tax-line evidence now stays attached to imported events for exact rate and amount checks; compound corrections remain in review when their component amounts are not available.
  • When one Shopify line ships from multiple countries, each resulting event now receives only its allocated share of every observed tax component.
  • The completed-fulfillment fields used for dispatch evidence have been revalidated against Shopify’s current versioned API contract.
  • Bulk review keeps every economic order atomic: if one selected sibling changed, that order is skipped rather than partly updated.
Fix3 items
  • Completed imported-event reviews now leave the pending queue after the recalculated tax decision is filing-ready.
  • A locked return for one scheme no longer blocks review of an event that was never included in that return.
  • Shopify orders with more completed fulfillments than the safe evidence limit now stay in review instead of using an incomplete dispatch history.
Security3 items
  • Replay verifies the complete sealed calculation and returns the same unavailable response for records outside the authenticated account.
  • Runtime services can record a replay integrity failure but cannot restore replay eligibility; restoration remains a separately governed verification action.
  • Imported-event review now waits for any in-progress tax-decision update and binds only the latest committed revision.
3.6.419August 30, 2026

Shopify Product Automation Boundary Is Clearer

2 changes
Improvement2 items
  • The Shopify roadmap now distinguishes automatic recognition of ordinary physical products from country-specific VAT treatment.
  • Products with incomplete, ambiguous, or special-category information remain in review instead of receiving a guessed tax treatment.
3.6.418August 30, 2026

Shopify Connection Checks Stay Separate From Live Data

2 changes
Security2 items
  • Shopify connection updates now verify readiness without accessing existing VAT Engine account data.
  • Temporary readiness data and access are removed automatically after each successful or unsuccessful check.
3.6.417August 30, 2026

Shopify Connection Updates Complete More Smoothly

2 changes
Fix2 items

  • Connection updates continue to stop safely whenever a required check cannot be completed.
3.6.416August 30, 2026

Shopify Connections Reject Reserved Example Addresses

2 changes
Security2 items

  • Valid connection addresses continue to use secure VAT Engine domains suitable for a live integration.
3.6.415August 30, 2026

Shopify Connections Reject Unreachable Addresses

2 changes
Security2 items
  • Shopify connection updates now refuse private-network and local-only addresses that Shopify cannot reach.
  • Local privacy events now use one consistent application address when a shared development connection is selected.
3.6.414August 30, 2026

Shopify Connections Require Secure Public Addresses

2 changes
Security2 items
  • Shopify connection updates now require secure public delivery addresses before a new configuration can become active.
  • Local development remains available without weakening the addresses used by active Shopify connections.
3.6.413August 30, 2026

Local Shopify Connections Handle Development URLs

2 changes
Fix2 items
  • Local Shopify setup now accepts loopback development addresses while keeping privacy event paths compatible with Shopify.
  • Hosted Shopify connections continue to use their secure public delivery addresses unchanged.
3.6.412August 30, 2026

Shopify Connector Updates Receive Stronger Checks

1 change
Security1 item

3.6.411August 30, 2026

Historical Croatian SME Checks Use the Correct Currency

2 changes
Fix2 items
  • Croatian SME checks now use kuna for dates through 2022 and euro from 1 January 2023.
  • Historical currency codes are accepted only for the country and dates when they were officially in use.
3.6.410August 30, 2026

SME Currency Transitions Fail Safely

2 changes
Fix2 items
  • SME checks no longer compare turnover with threshold evidence from an earlier national-currency period.
  • When updated same-currency evidence is not yet available, the result is marked indeterminate and prior-currency national thresholds are withheld.
