✨ New

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
            }
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }

💎 Changed

Webhooks

Voucher data in order webhooks​

The voucher field is now part of all order and nauticalOrder webhook payloads, providing the following voucher data: id, name, type, discountValue, and discountValueType.

Emails

Order line metadata in email payloads​

Non-private metadata for orderLines and nauticalOrderLines will now be included in all order-related email payloads. Update your email templates to make use of order line metadata.

🪲 Fixed

Discounts

Fixed an issue where vouchers created with the option "Specific products" selected caused items to be discounted automatically without entering the voucher code.
