Mutation
mutation {
  createCustomerToken(
    oauthProviderSource: WORKOS
    oauthProviderToken: "[ACCESS_TOKEN]"
  ) {
    nauticalToken
    refreshToken
    authErrors {
      field
      message
    }
  }
}

Updated the OrderPayoutStatusEnum to include the NOT_PAID payout status for orders in the new financial ledgers system.

Migrated Shopify plugin instances to use the latest Shopify API version.

🪲 Fixed

Fixed an issue where the product_updated webhook was not being triggered when an image was added to a product or variant.

Payments

Fixed an issue where successful capture of ACH payments with Stripe were not updating as paid in Nautical.

Emails

Payouts

Financial ledgers with queryable journals​

Added a new financial modelling system, using double-entry accounting that automatically records data to a balanced ledger through various order and payout related events.

This updated model aligns with ASC 606 revenue recognition standards, providing a clear and auditable financial trail of how revenue is recognized and split between the marketplace and its sellers. Central to this feature is the MarketplaceConfiguration.revenueAccrualStrategy field, which determines how revenue is recognized in alignment with your operational needs.

Feature Enablement

For marketplaces to benefit from this new feature, a Nautical representative must enable it. Contact Nautical Support for assistance.

You can leverage the journalEntries query to view journal entries, using filters like order ID or journal entry type via JournalEntryFilterInput. Here's a sample GraphQL query and response that demonstrates how you can retrieve the first 10 journalEntries related to a marketplace order:

Request
query {
  journalEntries(
    filter: { nauticalOrderIds: "TmF1dGljYWxPcmRlcjoxNjU4" }
    first: 10
    sortBy: { direction: ASC, field: DATE }
  ) {
    edges {
      node {
        id
        type
        description
        createdAt
        order {
          id
        }
        ledgerEntries {
          ledgerBalance {
            baseAmount
          }
          ledger {
            id
            type
            accountType
            balance {
              baseAmount
            }
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }

Tax changes on manual fixed-amount refunds​

When processing a manual refund for a fixed amount, taxes are no longer added separately. The fixed amount entered is the after-tax amount.

Fixed amount refunds do not automatically adjust records in the tax engine, such as Avalara. If you need to modify the amount of tax to remit, you must manually create a tax adjustment within Avalara.
