Today I sat down and looked through some of Shopify’s latest 150+ updates to the platform and listened to a bit of the Shopify Partners Town Hall (guilty of multitasking while at my full time job..) As a store owner I know firsthand how important it is to have the tools and features necessary to carry out the vision I have for my storefront. Today I focused on 3 areas: Online, Marketing, and Payments. These are the first areas I considered when I first switched over to Shopity to run my wellness business (tap here if you want to see what my store looks like). Here’s my favorite developments: Online ✨ there’s a new way to edit using Canvas (it allows you to see every page laid out on your screen and zoom in to edit details). It also works with sidekick (an ai store assistant built into your store) to help you edit your theme. ✨ easier campaign rollouts are possible by scheduling launches, events, and price changes ✨ cart syncing happens across devices when customers are logged in with their Shop account (Shop is another sales channel provided by Shopify). Marketing ✨ we can now run ai powered campaigns across new sales channels like Microsoft, Snapchat, and X (coming soon) ✨ marketing reports are improved to help you see which sales channel is really driving sales for you Payments ✨ Shopify Protect helps block high risk orders so you avoid fraudulent orders ✨ chargeback protection has been extended to orders that don’t use Shop Pay at checkout (Shop Pay is basically when your customer logs in to their Shop account to use express checkout features on your site) ✨ Shopify now automatically attaches carrier proof of delivery to disputes submitted by a customer stating they never received their order This is just a sample of what Shopify is doing to improve!
