Empire Flippers Marketplace Changelog 2026

Feature Update

Faster & Simpler Shopify Financials

For Shopify businesses listed on the Empire Flippers Marketplace, the financial data buyers see needs to be accurate, consistent, and easy to verify.

We’ve now simplified how Shopify reports are generated by rebuilding them directly on top of Shopify’s aggregated SalesAgreement data. The result is simpler financials that are faster to generate and easier to audit, giving buyers greater confidence in the numbers they’re evaluating.

Feature Update

Updated Commission Structure: New Minimum Fee of $10,000

As the Empire Flippers Marketplace has grown and the quality of service we provide throughout every acquisition has increased, we’ve updated our minimum commission to reflect that investment.

Effective now, our minimum commission fee is $10,000, up from $7,000. This applies to all new listings and offer acceptances going forward. Sellers who had already accepted a preliminary valuation at the previous rate are grandfathered in at $7,000.

Our commission calculator, Terms of Service, and all seller-facing documentation have been updated to reflect this change. If you have any questions about how this applies to your listing, our team is happy to walk you through it.

Feature Update

Smarter Seller Onboarding: Automatic Reactivation After ID Verification

Getting a business listed on the Empire Flippers Marketplace starts with verifying your identity, a step that protects both buyers and sellers throughout the acquisition process. Previously, sellers who completed ID verification after an initial rejection had to wait for our team to manually reactivate their account before they could continue.

That wait is now gone. Sellers who complete ID verification after a rejection are automatically reactivated and can move forward with listing their business immediately. No support ticket needed, no delay.

Feature Update

Revamped "Assets Included" Task: Clearer, More Structured Business Handoffs

One of the most important steps in any acquisition is documenting exactly what transfers with the business, from domains and social accounts to software licenses and supplier contacts. The “Assets Included” task is how sellers capture and share this information with buyers and our Migrations Team.

We’ve completely revamped this task. Sellers now have a more structured and intuitive experience for logging every asset, and buyers receive a cleaner, more organized summary of everything included in the sale. It’s a stronger foundation for a smooth migration from the very first day.

Feature Update

Enhanced Credential Sharing in Migrations: Bulk Uploads, Admin Editing, and 2FA Support

After a business is sold on Empire Flippers, all assets need to be transferred from the seller to the buyer during the migration process. A big part of that is the credential-sharing process for all online accounts needed to run the business. This update introduces bulk management tools and makes the process faster, more accurate, and easier to manage for sellers, buyers, and our Migrations Team.

Key Improvements:

• Bulk CSV & Excel Support: Sellers can now upload credentials in bulk using CSV or .xlsx files, saving hours of manual data entry. The system is flexible with column headers (recognizing variations like “Email” or “Username”) and allows for quick mass editing via download and re-upload.
• Admin Editing Tools: The Migrations Team can now edit, add, or delete credentials directly from the admin view. This allows our team to fix typos or update information instantly without needing to involve the seller again.
• 2FA QR Code & Recovery Support: Users can now upload and download 2FA QR code images and recovery codes alongside standard login details.
• Buyer Flexibility: Buyers now have the ability to edit their own copy of received credentials to suit their internal workflows, without affecting the seller’s original data.
• One-Click Downloads: Both buyers and the Migrations Team can now export all shared credentials into a clean CSV for offline use or record-keeping.

Feature Update

New Integration: Connect Your Xero Account for Automated P&Ls

Transparency and data accuracy are the cornerstones of a smooth acquisition. Following the success of our QuickBooks Online integration, we’re excited to announce that sellers can now connect their Xero accounts directly to the Empire Flippers platform.

This update is designed to simplify the vetting process for sellers and provide buyers with the high-fidelity financial data they need to make confident offers.

What’s New?
If you use Xero to manage your business finances, you can now sync your data with your Empire Flippers listing. This integration automates the creation of a Profit & Loss (P&L) statement directly from your accounting source.

One-Click Connection: In your Vetting Task List, you’ll now see the option to “Connect Your Accounting Software.” Simply select Xero to securely link your account.

Automatic Monthly Updates: No more manual data entry. Your P&L will automatically refresh on the 2nd of every month with the latest figures, ensuring your listing stays current while it’s on the market.

Deep Historical Data: The integration can pull up to five years of historical financial data, providing a comprehensive view of your business’s growth and stability.
