Shopify policy update: Updated Terms of Service effective date from May 11, 2026 to August 1…
- Updated Terms of Service effective date from May 11, 2026 to August 1, 2026, reflecting a new policy revision cycle.
- Removed Section 9.12 (Gift Cards & Store Credit Service Terms) as a standalone numbered section, renumbering subsequent sections accordingly — sellers using gift cards or store credit should verify whether governing terms have moved or been consolidated.
- Restructured Section 13 (Shopify Contracting Party) from prose-based regional subsections into a consolidated table format, adding Shopify Technology (USA) Inc. (a Nevada corporation) as a new co-contracting party for US/Canada merchants and updating the Ireland registered office address.
- Added explicit billing agent clarification allowing Shopify Inc. to collect fees on behalf of Shopify Technology (USA) Inc. and other contracting parties, which may affect how payment disputes, tax remittance, and fee collections are handled for US sellers.
