Shopify customer accounts now show store credit and product recommendations

What they said

“Store credit balance now shows in the customer account header on every page.”

In plain English

When customers sign in to their account on your store, their store credit balance now shows at the top of every account page. Signed-in customers who haven't ordered yet also see product recommendations from your catalogue, chosen by Shopify based on what it knows about their preferences.

Shopify changed how it counts sessions, so your conversion rate may have moved

From 21 September 2026, Shopify Analytics counts sessions differently. It now focuses on human visitors and classifies bot traffic more consistently, and it keeps genuine shopper journeys that don't include a normal pageview. Session-based numbers like conversion rate will look different, but orders, sales and customer counts aren't affected.

You can now add your own annotations to time-series reports in Shopify Analytics. Each note can have a title, description, date or date range and a type, so you can mark things like a campaign launch, an influencer post, a supplier change or a promotion right on the chart.
