What did Shopify ship in the last 90 days? (Updated August 2026)

What Shopify shipped — last 90 days

Shopify ships constantly — the changelog logs something new almost every working day — but most of it is plumbing you'll never touch. This page answers the question directly: what did Shopify ship in the last ~90 days (May through early August 2026), and which of it actually changes how you run your store's marketing and operations?

We update this roundup quarterly, same URL. Everything below is sourced from Shopify's official changelog and the Spring '26 Edition announcements.

Table of Contents

The headline: Spring '26 Edition (June 17)

Shopify's twice-yearly Edition landed on June 17, 2026 with 150+ updates. The through-line: the "Marketing" tab is now the "Growth" tab, and Shopify is clearly building toward being the marketing platform, not just the store platform. The Edition items operators should know:

Marketing and growth updates

Storefront, checkout, and CRO updates

Operations, payments, and B2B updates

Deprecations and deadlines to know

What actually matters for a $0–$50k MRR brand

Cutting the 150+ updates down to what we'd act on for clients this quarter:

Update Action
Abandoned checkout bot filtering Re-baseline your recovery metrics from mid-June onward
Combined/stacking discounts Audit discount logic before your next promo — stacking behavior changed
Rollouts A/B testing Move checkout and theme tests off third-party tools
WhatsApp channel Only if your audience is EU/LatAm/Asia — then it's a real retention channel
Campaign Autopilot on Microsoft Worth a small test budget if your buyer skews desktop/older
Growth tab reorganization Update your SOPs — everything marketing moved

The rest is worth knowing, not worth a workday. Most quarters, the platform gives you two or three genuinely usable levers; the skill is ignoring the other 147 updates. That's the same stage-discipline argument we make about marketing strategy — what you deliberately skip matters as much as what you adopt.

FAQ

What did Shopify ship in the last 90 days?

The headline was the Spring '26 Edition (June 17, 2026) with 150+ updates: the Marketing tab became the Growth tab, WhatsApp became a native marketing channel, Channel Markets launched, and collections gained multi-source support. Other majors from May–August 2026: Rollouts for A/B testing storefront changes, Campaign Autopilot expanding to Microsoft Advertising, bot-filtered abandoned checkout lists, Agentic Storefront sales tracking, and the final deprecation of Shopify Scripts (June 30).

When is the next Shopify Edition?

Shopify runs two Editions a year — the Spring '26 Edition landed June 17, 2026, so the next one is expected in winter (December–January based on prior cycles). The changelog ships smaller updates continuously between Editions.

Did Shopify Scripts really shut down?

Yes — editing and publishing were disabled April 15, 2026, and Scripts fully stopped working June 30, 2026. Shopify Functions is the replacement; if a discount or checkout behavior silently broke this summer, a leftover Script is the first thing to check.

How do I keep up with Shopify updates without reading the changelog daily?

Check changelog.shopify.com monthly filtered to your area, watch the two Editions a year, and ignore anything that doesn't map to a metric you're actively trying to move. Or let this page do it — we refresh it quarterly with the operator-relevant subset.

Want someone acting on these instead of reading about them?

Part of what Branva does for client brands is exactly this: watching what the platform ships and quietly adopting the two or three changes that matter — the discount-logic audit before your sale, the Rollouts test setup, the re-baselined metrics. If you'd rather have that handled, book a 30-minute working session and we'll walk through which of this quarter's changes apply to your store.
