# Effective June 1, 2020 - Partner Program Agreement billing and taxes updates

The Shopify Partner Program Agreement (PPA) updates previously announced on March 3, 2020, go into effect today.

These updates clarify our role as a billing agent, which means we’re the party responsible for facilitating payment transactions between partners and merchants of apps, themes, and services. Product changes that reflect these billing and tax updates will be live in the coming weeks.
