Sales tax on orders in another currency

Orders paid in a market currency are now taxed. Before this, they were charged without tax.

Sales tax is now the Tax app

Sales tax now comes from the PlatformDTC Tax app in the App Store. Stores without it charge no tax.

Automatic sales tax at checkout

First renewal follows the plan

A new subscription's first renewal is now exactly one plan interval after checkout.

DTCPay: one-tap checkout for returning shoppers

DTCPay lets shoppers save their card, address and contact details once and check out in one tap on every PlatformDTC store that uses it.

Your agent can answer chargebacks

Your own AI agent can now prepare the evidence for a chargeback, and send it to the bank once you say yes.

A new look for the admin

PlatformDTC takes 0% of app revenue

Product photos now download at the size they appear on screen, as AVIF or WebP, instead of the full original file.

Apps can switch the product gallery's photo

New for app developers

Fewer lost checkouts on phones and after a decline

Checkout now keeps phone shoppers on track to the card, offers PayPal after a card decline, and shows Link where Google Pay can't appear.

A cleaner, step-by-step checkout

Checkout now walks shoppers through numbered steps, with less on the page competing with the Pay button.

Cart guards, active product media, app blocks in groups

Let your app hold a product back from the cart until the shopper has finished personalising it, and draw your preview over the right photo.

Cart drawer uses your button colour; no free-shipping bar checkout can't honour

See why subscribers left

Subscriptions → Home has a new card, "Why subscribers left", that splits every cancellation in the period by who ended the subscription.

Fewer good orders cancelled as Highest risk

Fewer genuine orders are ranked Highest risk and cancelled automatically: 3D Secure-verified payments never are, and a card from another country is no longer a warning.

Insufficient-funds retries now land on payday

With Smart AI retry, a renewal declined for insufficient funds is now retried on the customer's next likely payday instead of a fixed number of days later.

Connect all your inboxes to Support

Support now reads every mailbox your customers write to, and you answer all of them in one inbox.

Require 3D Secure on risky card payments

Checkout can now ask the card's bank to confirm the shopper when a payment looks like the ones that turn into fraud reports.

An order's risk level no longer changes when the bank reports it

The risk level on an order is PlatformDTC's own verdict, and it stays that way.

Apps can add scripts to your online store

Apps from the App Store can now load their own JavaScript on your live online store.

Brand traffic is measured for the store, not its parent domain

Every traffic figure in Market Intelligence now describes the storefront you are looking at.

Your conversion rate now measures what your storefront earned.

Renewals charge the day after payday, in the customer's real time zone

Your store policies, written for you

PlatformDTC now writes and publishes your store policies for you, and keeps them up to date.

Store policies and your business identity on checkout

Your checkout footer now shows your store policies and who is selling: your legal business name, country and support phone.

Build your theme with Claude Code, Codex or Cursor

Build and publish your storefront theme with the coding agent you already use — Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or any MCP client — against the same theme the dashboard editor opens.

Everything that happens in your store, live

The dashboard's Recent activity and the Activity page now show everything that happens in your store — what your agents, your team, your automations and your customers did — and update live.

Upsell funnels and Membership

Build post-purchase upsell funnels for subscription stores, and sell a paid membership billed as a subscription.

Declines retried by what the bank said

Declined renewals are now retried according to the response code the customer's bank sent: soft declines are retried later, vague refusals are retried once, and permanent declines are not retried at all.

Smarter recovery for failed subscription payments

Subscription renewals are now timed around your customers' paydays and local time, declined renewals are retried on a schedule matched to the decline, and a card that runs out of funds puts the subscription on hold instead of cancelling it.

Import a theme from Shopify

Bring a theme from your Shopify store into Themes 2: its templates, header, footer, theme settings and images come over as they are, as a new unpublished theme.

Navigation menus, pages and blog posts

Build your store's menus, write pages and publish blog posts from the dashboard, under Online Store.

A rebuilt Checkout Editor

The Checkout Editor has been rebuilt around a live preview of your checkout: pick a section or click the page itself to edit it, arrange blocks by dragging, and save to publish.

One fraud risk level on the order page and in the order list

The order list's Risk column, the Risk level filter and sort, and order exports now show the same risk level as the Fraud analysis card on the order page.

PlatformDTC POS

Sell in person with PlatformDTC POS: card payments on a countertop smart reader, cash with a cash drawer, and every sale in the same Orders and Customers as your online store.

PayPal subscription payments show what was bought

PayPal subscription renewals and subscription add-ons now list the products, shipping and discount in PayPal. Before, PayPal showed only the amount.

Visa Compelling Evidence 3.0: card payments carry what Visa needs to block friendly-fraud disputes and drop fraud reports from your monitoring ratio

Card payments on PlatformDTC Payments now record everything Visa's Compelling Evidence 3.0 (CE 3.0) rules match on, and automatic dispute responses include CE 3.0 evidence for eligible Visa fraud disputes.

the $2,000 plan is renamed Scale, and publishing no longer requires a plan

The \$2,000-a-month plan is now called Scale. Separately, a storefront no longer needs a plan to go live: publishing has been open to every store since September 1, 2026.

Orders is one screen — Disputes and Drafts are tabs of the order list, and every tab shows its count the same way

Disputes and Drafts are no longer separate screens. They are tabs in the same row as All Orders, Open, Fulfilled, Cancelled, Alert and Warning, with the same toolbar and table.

Every action on the order page now works — returns, printing, duplicate, notes, tags and messaging

The order page's actions are all live. Controls that looked clickable but did nothing now either do the job or are gone.

Dispute, payout and account fees at cost — itemised in Finance and deducted from your balance

PlatformDTC pays the payment processor's dispute, payout and account fees for your store. From September 11, 2026 they are recovered at cost, itemised in your dashboard, and deducted from your PlatformDTC Payments balance.

From 09:00 UTC on September 11, 2026, the card costs that depend on where a card was issued are priced into the payment itself.
