The second week of September 2024 brought new automations and updates for B2B merchants. These improvements simplify workflows and help businesses manage catalogs more efficiently.
Shopify enhanced the Flow automation feature by allowing the 'Send Admin API request' action to return data that can be used in subsequent steps. Merchants can now automate more tasks, such as creating and updating orders, products, customers, and inventory.

Shopify made improvements to the Company and Company Location details layout, offering a clearer view of key information. Customizations are now more distinct, allowing merchants to quickly manage B2B catalog interactions and streamline workflows for managing B2B clients.

Shipping claims for lost, damaged, or late packages can now be submitted directly from the order details page in Shopify. This feature includes prefilled forms for supported carriers, making the claims process faster and more efficient for merchants.
