Shopify has improved how shipping services are pre-selected when buying shipping labels. A suggested shipping service will be pre-selected based on similar orders in your store, rather than always pre-selecting the last used service. This will increase the accuracy and speed of buying shipping labels.
If your customer selected a specific shipping service at checkout, that will automatically be pre-selected when buying a shipping label, if available.
Improvements made to the Order Details page in the Shopify Mobile Admin app include:
You can now use a “Run code” action in Flow to write JavaScript code to solve your automation needs.The Run code action makes it possible to do many things that were not possible before. Common use cases include:
For more information about how it works, limitations, and upcoming improvements, follow this link.
Now, merchants using Shopify Scripts can use Shopify's bundle offering to increase their average order value.
Retarget twice as many potential buyers with Shopify Audiences v2.2 (Jan 31)
Shopify Audiences helps Shopify Plus merchants find more customers on top ad platforms, cut their customer acquisition costs by up to 50%, and get more out of their ad spend with custom audience lists (powered by millions of commerce insights).
The release of Shopify Audiences v2.2 means improved retargeting boost lists, new benchmarks data, and their best performing algorithms yet!
Improved visibility of retailer cancellation requests for Collective Suppliers (Jan 31)
On their orders landing page, suppliers will now notice a badge displayed next to the order number, indicating an order cancellation request and identifying the retailer who initiated the request. This badge ensures suppliers have immediate visibility into cancellation requests, enabling them to take necessary actions promptly and efficiently.
The badge will read as "Retailer Name has requested to cancel this order. Reason for cancellation." The reason for cancellation will also be visible within the order timeline and notes section on the orders page.
Collective Suppliers gain quick visibility into the status of product sharing (Jan 31)
Suppliers can quickly and efficiently view which retailer connections are awaiting the sharing of a price list through a new sticker on their retailers page.

Within draft orders, now you’ll be able to combine multiple discounts and use discount codes and automatic discounts.
New predictive spend metrics in Cohort Analysis (Jan 31)
You can now see the predicted average amount spent per customer of your cohorts in the Customer Cohort Analysis report.
Having greater insight into both historical and predicted customer spend will help you optimise the retention and lifetime value of your cohorts.
This feature is available on Advanced plans and above, and requires a minimum of 24 months of historical sales data.
Support for up to 30 products in a bundle (Jan 31)
The maximum number of products you can offer in a fixed bundle has increased from 10 to 30. Offer larger bundles using the Shopify Bundles app or any fixed bundle created using the Admin API.
Media Versioning (Jan 31)
A new "Revert to original" button has been added to the product media editor so you can revert image edits after saving. It’s no longer required to reupload the original product image to revert any changes.
Improve accuracy of in-stock products in different markets with fulfillable inventory (Jan 31)
Also newly released is fulfillable inventory to help merchants who sell products across multiple shipping zones by ensuring their customers can only purchase items that can be shipped to their location.
This helps improve inventory accuracy, reduce overselling, and increases efficiency by avoiding unnecessary order cancellations. This feature is only available to select merchants.
New Shopify features and developer tools now available on Hydrogen (Jan 31)
Headless development on Shopify is now easier than ever, with more Shopify features available on Hydrogen, and new developer tools that make the path to production seamless. Get in touch with our experts for more details.
New DOM events in pixels (Jan 31)
Shopify has added support for select DOM events to app and custom pixels, including input_changed, input_blurred, input_focused, form_submitted, and clicked. You can subscribe to these events with a custom pixel from the Customer Events page in your admin. This gives you more insight to better understand how visitors are engaging with your online store.
Introducing Customer Privacy settings in Shopify admin (Jan 31)
Manage privacy settings centrally with the new Customer Privacy section in Shopify Admin. The Shopify Privacy & Compliance app will be discontinued on March 1, 2024.
Smarter search that understands customer intent (Jan 31)
Let customers search for products using everyday language with the new Semantic Search feature, available for Shopify Plus merchants in the Search & Discovery app.
New support for filter values that lead to no results (Jan 31)
Available in the Search & Discovery app, you can now choose how to display filter options that would lead to no matching results. Ensure your customers can easily filter products by moving filter values with no matches to the end, or by hiding them entirely.
You can make these customisations by going to the Shopify Search & Discovery app > Settings > Empty Values card.
The Shopify Subscriptions app is now in full release (Jan 31)
Increase customer lifetime value and boost recurring revenue with Shopify’s new subscriptions offering. The Shopify Subscriptions app integrates seamlessly into the admin and makes it easy to set up and manage simple subscription use cases. You can also give your customers the flexibility to pause or skip their subscriptions in the new customer accounts.
New metaobjects experience in admin (Jan 31)
Another new release: a new admin experience to simplify working with metaobjects, featuring definition-specific views and dramatically improved search and filter capabilities. Learn more about the redesigned metaobjects experience in the Shopify Help Center.
Shop Cash offers is now Shop Campaigns (Jan 31)
As part of the Winter '24 Edition, Shop Cash offers is evolving to Shop Campaigns. Shopify merchants can use Shop Campaigns to scale customer growth on a new acquisition channel.
This release enables you to:
New dynamic source selector in the online editor (Jan 31)
With the growing adoption of metafields and metaobjects to connect resources to online store templates, merchants need an easy way to find the right dynamic source. Shopify has therefore simplified the dynamic source selector interface and added search and filtering.
New self-serve process to transfer organisation ownership (Feb 7)
Organisation owners in Shopify Plus are now able to transfer organisation ownership to other users within their organisations, without having to contact Shopify Support.
As an organisation owner, you can navigate to your own user profile page in the Shopify Admin, click "Transfer ownership" and follow the instructions on the screen to complete the transfer.
Geolocation app removal (Feb 12)
On December 1st, 2024, Shopify’s Geolocation app will sunset, and the app will automatically uninstall.
Shopify’s platform has recently made advancements that have reduced the need for Geolocation app’s consent-based localisation feature for shops that use dedicated domains/shared domains. These advancements include:
For those who currently have the Geolocation app installed and don’t have an EU top-level domain, Shopify recommends enabling the above features in Settings -> Markets -> Preferences. This will effectively bypass the Geolocation functionality on your storefront, and then you can safely remove the Geolocation app from your store.
Note - If you sell to customers in the European Union via an EU top-level domain, e.g. example.fr or example.de, you will still require a consent-based strategy to redirect buyers and should explore 3rd party options in the app store.
