Shopify Updates

Tax accuracy has improved for orders shipping to customers in the United States. Tax is now calculated using the fulfillment location that your order routing settings select for each order. For local pickup orders, tax is calculated from the pickup location. Now, if you fulfill orders from multiple locations, tax reflects where each order actually ships from, and your order records show the ship-from location used in the calculation. This is beneficial because tax rates can depend on where an order ships from, and your records are more accurate for reporting and filing. Learn more about order routing in the Shopify Help Center .

The Shopify Payments activity report gives you a clearer way to understand how money moved through your Shopify Payments balance over a selected date range. You can open it from Finance > Documents > Shopify Payments activity report or from the Payouts page, then generate a report that brings together your starting balance, gross activity, fees, payouts, and ending balance in one place. Use the report when you're closing a month, checking why your Shopify Payments balance changed, or reviewing activity before payouts reach your bank account. The report is organized around balance activity and transaction dates, so it gives a different view than payout-by-payout exports from the Payouts page. You can also export the report as a PDF for your records or finance workflows. The activity report helps you review balance movement across a period, while the Payouts page remains the place to review individual payout deposits. Learn more

Checkout now remembers a signed-in customer's last-used payment method and pre-selects it on future purchases. This feature is only enabled for checkout flows where saved payment methods are enabled on D2C and B2B .

You can now create, suspend, and reactivate staff accounts in bulk by uploading a CSV file in Shopify admin. This update helps reduce manual setup for larger teams by letting you bulk create admin or POS staff accounts with assigned PINs and suspend or reactivate existing users in one upload. It’s especially useful for seasonal hiring, store expansion, and fast offboarding, when teams need to make staff changes quickly and accurately. To use this feature, go to Settings > Users > Import in Shopify Admin. Download the sample CSV template there to get started. Learn more about importing users in bulk using a CSV file .

We've redesigned the Point of Sale channel page in your Shopify admin so your in-store setup and performance are right where you start. The page now opens with a Customize the in-store experience section that previews your store's actual lock screen, customer display, and receipts, so you can see what your staff and customers see and open the POS editor for any of them in one click. You can still open the editor from Point of Sale > Settings > Customization as well. 🛍️ You can also read your in-store performance from the same page. A new Analytics section shows gross sales, orders, discounts, and returns for today, the last 7 days, or the last 30 days, and you can filter by location if you sell from more than one store. Each metric links through to the full report. Managing your retail setup is quicker too, with direct links to manage your staff and locations. If you haven't set up a POS device yet, you'll see a QR code to download the Shopify POS app and start selling in person. The new page is available to everyone using the Point of Sale channel, and staff need analytics permissions to see the analytics section.

Eligible stores can now get personalized recommendations for customer information settings from the Checkout settings page in Shopify admin. These recommendations help you collect more complete customer details at checkout so you can reconnect with past shoppers more effectively and personalize your marketing. New stores already use these recommended settings by default. Recommendations may include setting customer contact method to email-only, requiring first and last name, or optionally collecting shipping address phone number. You can review recommendations and apply any changes directly from Checkout settings. Existing store settings won’t change unless you apply the recommendations.

Update : Tax rates vary by destination. Previously, the original destination tax stayed on the order even after you updated the shipping address, so your financials and tax reporting could drift out of sync. Now the order reflects the taxes for where it's actually shipping, which keeps your records accurate. Taxes are recalculated for the new shipping address, and you’ll see a preview of the updated amounts before saving. If the change creates a payment difference, you'll see it before you save, so you can choose to send an invoice to the customer.

On August 24, 2026, Shopify Managed Markets will stop supporting delivered duty unpaid (DDU) in every country and region where it supports delivered duty paid (DDP). What's changing Markets that use or inherit DDU automatically move to DDP wherever Managed Markets supports it. Customers in those markets will now pay duties and taxes at checkout, not to the carrier or customs on delivery. Collecting duties and taxes at checkout helps avoid surprise costs on delivery and makes international shopping more predictable. What you need to do If you want your customers to keep paying on delivery, turn off Shopify Managed Markets before August 24, 2026. Otherwise, no action is needed .

We've updated printed receipts in Shopify POS so you can manage sale, return, exchange, gift, and gift card receipts in one place. Return and exchange receipts now print as a single section with one amount summary at the bottom, instead of two separate sections with two subtotals. What’s new? The new content editor in the POS channel applies your branding, header, and footer across every receipt type, lets you override by location only when you need to, and includes built-in fields for return policy, signature line, and regional tax IDs (VAT, GST/QST, ABN). Gift receipts no longer show line items so you can print multiple at once, and you can choose whether gift card receipts print automatically. For everyday changes that used to require the Liquid editor, you can now do it directly in the editor with a real-time preview. Migrating from Liquid customizations If your shop uses a customized Liquid receipt template, you have until January 1, 2027 to move to the new editor. Preview and configure your new template in the content editor while your existing Liquid template keeps printing. When you're ready, flip the shop-level switch to make the new format live. Note that switching is irreversible. Any shops still on Liquid on January 1, 2027 will be migrated to the new format automatically. Help Center | Watch this overview video for more information.
