Identity verification for Shopify Partners starts today
Shopify is rolling out mandatory identity verification for partners to protect merchants and reduce abuse, with trust and access implications across the partner ecosystem.
Why it matters: Affects all partners (app developers, agencies, theme developers) who may need to complete verification before continuing certain actions, with potential onboarding friction and reduced bad-actor activity.

POS Extensions now supports a background extension target
POS extensions gain a new background extension target (pos.app.ready.data) that runs across the entire POS session without rendering UI, enabling event observation and background logic via shopify.addEventListener.
Why it matters: Unlocks non-visual POS extension use cases like event capture, background data syncing, and API calls, expanding what POS app developers can build without a UI surface.
Action: Evaluate building or migrating POS extension logic to the new background target for analytics, loyalty triggers, or sync jobs; test event subscriptions (e.g., transactioncomplete) in dev stores.

Shopify Flow: Action runtime URLs now update automatically
Shopify Flow now re-resolves an action's runtime_url on every execution, so redeploying an app with a new URL is automatically picked up by existing workflows.
Why it matters: Removes a common operational pain point for Flow action developers: merchants no longer must re-save workflows after deploys, and local dev URLs update automatically.
Action: Evaluate: simplify Flow action deployment docs/runbooks; remove manual workflow edit steps previously required after runtime URL changes.
