New Product Release: Shopify Credit
On July 26, Shopify introduced Shopify Credit, a new offering for eligible US merchants. Shopify Credit is designed to empower merchants by providing a pay-in-full business credit card that extends a credit line. This credit card allows merchants to effectively manage their day-to-day working capital, smooth their cash flow, and take advantage of rewards and cashback opportunities. What sets Shopify Credit apart is its fee-free, interest-free, and credit-check-free features, along with cashback rewards on essential spending categories.
Eligible merchants can apply for Shopify Credit without affecting their credit score. Once approved, they can use their Shopify Credit card wherever Visa® is accepted, earning cashback rewards that are automatically credited to their account each month without incurring any fees or interest.
Please note, that Shopify Credit is not currently available to merchants with active Shopify Capital financing, and active Shopify Credit users are not eligible for Shopify Capital. However, the Shopify team is committed to making this possible in the near future to provide greater flexibility to Shopify merchants.
Key benefits of Shopify Credit:
- No fees and no interest, ever
- Cashback rewards are tailored for entrepreneurs
- Extended payment terms for added convenience
- No personal credit checks or need for guarantors
- Complimentary cards for all members of your team
- Enjoy additional Visa perks.
Credit card payments are now compatible with Draft Orders for Shopify Markets Pro
Now, you can use credit card payments for Draft Orders within Shopify Markets Pro. This new feature helps merchants finalize a Shopify Markets Pro order directly through the admin interface without the need to send an invoice to the buyer.
Merchants can explore more about the world of Markets Pro and master the art of Draft Orders in the Shopify Help Center.

Inventory data removal from ShopifyQL Notebooks
Effective August 7th, 2023, the inventory dataset in ShopifyQL Notebooks will no longer be supported. This entails the discontinuation of the Inventory tutorial notebook and the removal of all Inventory templates. Furthermore, the API endpoints used for accessing the inventory dataset will cease to be accessible in the future.
What does this Entail?
In practical terms, this specific dataset will no longer be accessible for querying within ShopifyQL Notebooks. Any Notebooks or templates provided by Shopify that rely on the inventory dataset will be eliminated, rendering all existing merchant queries involving this dataset non-functional.
What are the alternatives?
Shopify recommends turning to inventory Reports or reviewing the inventory adjustment history within your Shopify admin and gaining insights into inventory data. These alternatives will ensure that you continue to have access to the essential information.
Shopify Markets Pro is now accessible to merchants who handle B2B orders
Shopify is introducing a modification that streamlines the process of granting access to Markets Pro for merchants engaged in B2B transactions. This enhancement involves an automated system for identifying business customers within an order. Consequently, when such identification occurs, the order is automatically reassigned to the merchant, who becomes the designated merchant of record. It's important to note that Markets Pro cannot act as the merchant of record for B2B orders.
For additional information on the considerations surrounding the utilization of Shopify Markets Pro, please refer to the Shopify Help Center.

Hide or rearrange columns with ease

Expanded triggering of the "checkout_started" event
Shopify has made adjustments to the behavior of the "checkout_started" event in checkout extensibility.
With the latest update, the customer event "checkout_started" will now be triggered for every visit to the checkout, provided you have upgraded to checkout extensibility. In the past, it was only activated during the initial entry into the checkout process.
Shopify Duties and import taxes now include support for tax exemptions on clothing in the United States
Shopify's Duties and Import Tax calculations during checkout now facilitate the application of tax exemptions for clothing in Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and Vermont.
When a customer buys a clothing item and the shipping address falls within one of these states, while the cart value remains within the exemption limits, taxes for qualifying products will be automatically adjusted to 0%. The identification of clothing products is based on Shopify's product categorization system.
For further details on how to collect duties and import taxes during the checkout process, you can refer to the Shopify Help Docs.
New customer tagging triggers and product status modification capabilities
Shopify Flow - New customer tagging triggers and the ability to change product status. You can now use three new tasks in Shopify Flow.
Trigger - Customer tags added
When one or more customer tags are added, you can now trigger a workflow to run. For example, you might want to always set a meta field when a certain tag is added.
Trigger - Customer tags removed
When one or more customer tags are removed, you can also trigger a workflow to run. For example, you might want to send an internal email when a certain tag is removed.
Action - Update product status
