Who said selling online isn't a fascinating experience? Shopify has launched Editions!, an update so incredible you'll want to stand up and applaud... or at least do a little dance. In this article, I'll tell you how this new version is making e-commerce, from now on, more appealing (with a little humor, because, let's be clear, who wants to read something boring?). Here we go!
Tired of your online store looking like your nephew's 5th grade project presentation? Well, say goodbye to that nightmare. Shopify, when you go to the sample theme projects folder, features a collection of AI-powered Horizon themes. These themes are beautiful, customizable, and best of all, you don't have to know any code. You can stop being a dumb person who understands HTML and CSS. You can go design an award-winning store... well, an award that will get you customers.
If you've ever used a slow cash register that feels like it runs on coal instead of electricity, this app is for you. Shopify's new POS (point of sale) app has been redesigned for faster order fulfillment and easier navigation. In short, it's like your cash register has had a double espresso: fast, efficient, and ready for action. Your customers won't even have time to check their phones while they wait for you.
What if I told you that the Shop app now also offers personalized recommendations? It's like having a very, very sincere friend (one of those who tells you, "A product like this really suits you"). The consequence of this is increased store visibility, which is already a great achievement, and also increased sales, which, as a result, are unbeatable. And in the best way: you don't have to pay that imaginary friend a salary. Long live AI!
If you've ever tried managing different currencies and legal entities, you'll know it's not as simple as putting together a piece of furniture without instructions. Shopify Payments comes to the rescue and allows you to manage everything seamlessly, saving costs and with ease. It's really like having a personal assistant who never has days off.
Do you want smart decision-making but don't have the time, money, or energy to gather data? Welcome to your new friend, Sidekick. It's an AI-powered philosopher that provides insights you can practice with and real-time support for your development challenges and opportunities. It's like having your CEO in your wallet, but without having to be overwhelmed by a lot of clutter.
With the new knowledge system , your brand looks better than ever on AI platforms. More visibility, more sales. It eliminates shouting to your store, "Hey, they see me! I'm as awesome as I look!" And the best part is, it works. Plus, you don't have to hire a marketing team today, comparatively.
Why have human assistants when you can use AI shoppers? With Storefront MCP, your customers can find products, ask your brand questions, and even fill their cart and checkout without lifting a finger (well, maybe just one). It's like having an army of robot salespeople working for you.
Have you always wanted to search through millions of products without going crazy? Well, now you can enjoy this experience with the new Shopify Catalog, which allows for seamless, real-time searches across thousands of merchants. But that's not all: it displays the 10 most relevant products without having to worry about managing connections between stores. It's magic!
If you're a developer, Shopify has the upper hand with its new open-source platform. You can create and run app testing environments faster than ever, thanks to an expansion of potential tools designed to make your time with these things even easier. You know you could do that while dancing to the latest song in your playlist!
