June belonged to Summer Editions, and we covered it in two parts. But Shopify kept shipping core platform updates alongside the headline releases. Here are the five June changelog updates that matter most for Plus merchants, from purchase orders to B2B discounts.
Purchase orders and transfers, finally connected
Purchase orders record what you ordered from a supplier and what it cost. Transfers record inventory movement. They used to live separate lives. Now they are connected: when you are ready to receive a purchase order, Shopify creates a transfer.
Four updates make the new receiving flow work:
- Receive in Admin or POS. Incoming inventory can be received from either, and it updates wherever the shipment arrives.
- Partial deliveries. A single transfer can have multiple shipments, so shipments that arrive separately get tracked separately.
- Linked records. Each transfer stays linked to its purchase order, so what was ordered, what arrived, and what it cost stay connected.
- CSV import. Import purchase order line items from a CSV instead of keying them in by hand.
If your team still reconciles supplier orders in a spreadsheet, this is the update that lets you retire it.
App pixel activity log
Most merchants have no idea what customer data their installed apps access and use every day. Shopify now keeps a complete history of data access changes for app pixels: what changed and when.
If you share customer data with apps, you can now track how that access has evolved. The log covers changes from June 3, 2026 onward. Worth a look before your next privacy review.
Location metafields in Analytics
You can now use location metafields as dimensions and filters in reports, plus a new dimension that separates physical storefront sales from online.
Multi location merchants get the real win here. Slice performance by region, store format, or any custom attribute you have defined on your locations. No more exporting to a spreadsheet to answer basic questions about which stores are working.
The EU's 3 euro customs duty
The EU's new customs duty on low value imports took effect July 1, 2026, and Shopify can now help you account for it.
This affects you if you ship to EU customers from outside the EU, including from the UK. It does not affect intra-EU shipments. If you sell into Europe from anywhere else, check your duties setup now, not after the support tickets arrive.
B2B discounts go native
New B2B stores and eligible existing ones now get discount functionality automatically. If you sell wholesale and DTC from the same store, you can build B2B discounts natively, and you may not need that discount app anymore.
Fewer apps means fewer conflicts, lower costs, and one less integration to babysit. We have covered Shopify's B2B push before: see our guide to B2B catalogs and checkout.
The bottom line
At Ambaum we track these changes on behalf of every Shopify Plus merchant we support. Purchase order receiving and native B2B discounts are the two we expect to touch the most stores this month.

The Shopify June changelog. Everyone is talking about Summer Editions, but Shopify also shipped a set of core updates in June. Here are the five that stood out for us at Ambaum.
First, purchase orders and transfers are now connected. Purchase orders record what you ordered from a supplier and what it cost. Transfers record inventory movement. When you receive a purchase order, Shopify now creates a transfer. You can receive inventory in admin or at point of sale, track partial deliveries as separate shipments, and import line items from a CSV.
Next, two visibility upgrades. The new app pixel activity log shows a complete history of the customer data your installed apps access, what changed and when. And in Analytics, location metafields now work as dimensions and filters, so multi location merchants can compare performance by region, store format, or any custom attribute.
Two more to watch. The EU's new three euro customs duty on low value imports took effect July 1st. It affects you if you ship to EU customers from outside the EU, including from the UK. And B2B discounts are now built in. If you sell wholesale and DTC from the same store, you may not need that discount app anymore.
At Ambaum, we track these changes for all the Shopify Plus merchants we support. If you want a second set of eyes on which June updates apply to your store, hit us up.
