Shopify announced on November 12, 2026, two changes to its latest customer accounts, according to 8digits. Store-credit balances can now appear in the account header, while signed-in customers who have never ordered from a store can receive product recommendations from its catalog.

New tools target first orders

The recommendations are ranked using Shopify's understanding of shopper preferences. The update gives merchants another way to guide discovery after a customer signs in, although the feature is aimed at the latest customer accounts rather than the legacy experience.

The changes do not require a separate recommendation app. Merchants using legacy accounts are directed toward Sidekick for upgrade assistance, putting the feature within Shopify's broader push to expand built-in commerce tools.

What it means for merchants

Store-credit visibility addresses a direct account-use issue by showing customers what they can spend. Personalized suggestions target a narrower group: signed-in visitors who have not yet placed an order. Their commercial impact will depend on how many shoppers reach the account area and whether the recommendations lead to product clicks and first purchases.
