Linnworks Q4 2026 Product Updates
October 2026 Release Notes
This month’s updates add six new App Store integrations for selling on Checkatrade and Fruugo, protecting your margins with rules-based pricing, cutting shipping costs, forecasting what to reorder and checking deliveries accurately. Two changes need action from some sellers: product identifiers become mandatory for EU shipments on 1 November, and SkuVault customers selling on Walmart US need to reconnect. Platform improvements make refunds, pricing and stock reporting more accurate.
Shipping Management
EU Customs Reform: Product Identifiers Mandatory from 1 November
Live
We’ve updated Linnworks to support the EU’s new customs rules, including product identifiers becoming mandatory on customs declarations for B2C shipments into the EU from 1 November.
Why this matters
- From 1 November, product identifiers are required for all B2C sales into the EU, whatever the order value
- Add three item extended properties to your products:
- ItemSku (your own product reference, which defaults to your Linnworks SKU)
- NonStandardMidCode (the manufacturer’s own product code)
- ProductMidCode (a global code such as a GTIN or EAN, where one exists)
- Product identifiers are now supported for DHL eCommerce UK, DHL Express, (New) DPD Local, DPD UK, EVRi Corporate, (New) FedEx, GFS, Landmark global, Parcelforce, Royal Mail OBA, Royal Mail Tracked, Spring Omni, The Delivery Group and UPS
Channels
Walmart US OAuth 2.0 Reconnection for SkuVaulteBay Free Returns for Car Parts & Accessories
Live
Walmart has fully switched to OAuth 2.0, so SkuVault customers need to reconnect their Walmart US integration through the Walmart App Store.
Why this matters
- Walmart’s older Delegated Access keys have stopped working, so integrations that haven’t been reconnected will stop syncing orders and inventory
- Reconnect by opening the Walmart App Store in Seller Center, finding SkuVault and clicking Connect
- If you have more than one Walmart US account, repeat the steps for each one
You’ll also see a reminder with these steps when you log in to SkuVault. If you’ve already reconnected, there’s nothing more to do.

Platform Improvements
We’ve delivered a set of improvements across Linnworks for refunds and pricing, and more accurate stock reporting. What’s improved:
What’s improved:
- Shopify refunds on Shopify GraphQL now work more reliably: when canceling an order in Linnworks there’s now an option to also cancel it on the channel, and when “Refund notes” is turned off refunds are no longer sent to Shopify, preventing refunds you didn’t intend to make. .
- Implemented a new “Download Duties as a Service Item” for Shopify integrations on GraphQL. If Off, service duties are not downloaded. If on, service duties for the order are downloaded as a service item.
- Better handling for multi-location, split fulfillment orders to better reflect the status of partially-fulfilled order
- Fix to how the sale price is submitted to Amazon when it is the only price on the listing, ensuring the price is reflected correctly.
These enhancements make your orders, refunds and pricing more accurate, and give you clearer stock reporting, helping you manage your operations more efficiently every day.
