Online store updates

Automatic discounts

Shopify now offers the ability to apply multiple automatic discounts to a single order — perfect for flash sales or loyalty perks. But how do these discounts show up in your books? With Bookkeep, all discounts are automatically captured and properly accounted for, so your financial records always reflect reality.

Category updates

Shopify has enhanced product category capabilities, allowing merchants to organize products more effectively with category filters and metafields. Bookkeep’s integration carries these updates seamlessly into your accounting system, so product categories stay consistent across platforms.

Retail enhancements

Offline payments

Shopify POS now supports offline payments, enabling merchants to continue selling even without an internet connection. Bookkeep captures all payment methods—both online and offline—allowing you to relax, confident that your accounting stays accurate even without Wi-Fi cooperating.

Unverified retail returns

Shopify’s new unverified return feature allows for more flexible return management, a welcome addition for in-person sales. Bookkeep captures custom return information automatically, so whether a return is verified or unverified, your books reflect every detail accurately.

Global updates

Order editing

Shopify merchants can now edit orders with even greater flexibility, such as adjusting quantities or adding items post-purchase. Bookkeep mirrors these changes, capturing updates in real time and ensuring that your financial records match your fulfillment process.
