Shopify

Stores can now sell product variants and issue gift cards in local currencies, with per-market discount targeting and multi-entity Shopify Payments support.

Commerce and Markets — Four market-expansion features shipped together:

• Variant-level publishing lets merchants hide specific variants per channel or market without deleting them.¹
• Market-targeted discounts assign code or automatic discounts to specific markets, B2B locations, or retail locations without workarounds.²
• Local-currency gift cards hold value end-to-end in the issued currency, eliminating FX exposure at redemption.³
• Multi-entity Shopify Payments lets eligible merchants run separate Payments accounts under different legal entities within one store.⁴

Checkout and Branding — The customer sign-in page received a two-column layout with a customizable brand image panel, now editable in the checkout and accounts editor.⁵

Branding settings — logo, colors, typography — now carry through checkout, customer accounts, and sign-in from one place.⁶ A marketing consent checkbox on the account component adds signing-in customers to email subscriber lists automatically.⁷

Operations and Analytics — Inventory transfers were redesigned: shipment creation is optional, stages are visible at every step, and transfers can link to purchase orders.⁸ Shopify Flow added a ShopifyQL-powered "Get analytics data" action for workflow-triggered queries on sales and sessions.⁹ Shopify Tax expanded to Canada with GST/HST/PST/QST/RST calculations and smart product categorization.¹⁰

Developer Platform — Shopify CLI 4.0 adopted semantic versioning and automatic self-updates.¹¹ App Home can now be built as a Preact-based admin UI extension, eliminating a separate web server.¹² Next Generation Events entered developer preview with field-level trigger subscriptions and custom delivery payloads.¹³ All public apps must adopt expiring offline access tokens by January 1, 2027.¹⁴
