Configure order attribution for sales channel apps
Sales channel apps can configure order attribution definitions (API 2026-07+) to attribute orders beyond default app/channel level (e.g., marketplace, region, account).
Why it matters: Improves attribution accuracy for non-storefront channels, enabling better ROAS reporting and channel performance decisions.
Action: Review your sales channel app attribution and add definitions for surfaces/regions/accounts where default attribution is too coarse.

Deprecation of cumulative marketing engagements
marketingEngagementCreate.isCumulative is deprecated and will default to false; cumulative-marketing integrations must migrate to non-cumulative engagements.
Why it matters: Apps sending marketing engagement metrics (attribution, ads) will silently break or misreport once cumulative is removed; revenue attribution accuracy depends on fixing this.
Action: Audit all marketingEngagementCreate calls, switch to non-cumulative events, validate attribution reporting before deprecation completes.
