Kurt's Unite Notes
What's new on Shopify? These are the notes I took during the Shopify Unite keynote:
Online store:
- Site-wide sections
- Apps can add sections
- Product pages have parent and child templates
- Content portability: all content lives outside theme, simplifying theme changes
- Native video & 3-D support on product pages
- Check-out app extensions for native integrations of things like subscriptions
- Multi-currency checkout rolling out to all merchants
- Multi-language API for native localized content
POS:
- Tap & chip case for mobile orders. Apple store like experience. Printed with a custom logo.
- Cart extension apps.
- Entirely redesigned POS interface
- Native “buy online pick up in store”
Admin:
- New “shipping profiles” to assign product-specific shipping rules.
- Order editing!!!
Plus:
- All new interface: centralized view of multiple stores
- Multistore dashboard for customers, orders, Flow automation, etc
- Future: cloning & store sync
- Multi-store staff managed in one place
Apps:
- Command line interface tool to make dev easier
- Shopify App Bridge: one library to rule them all, and create more embedded apps
- GraphQL improvements mean faster apps
- More stable apps because of API versioning. (Keeps apps from breaking when the API changes.)
Shopify Fulfillment Network:
- 2 days to deliver
- 99.9% order accuracy
- Multichannel support
- Custom packaging & branding
- Returns/exchange support
- Now: Merchants of every size. (10-10,000 orders/day)
- Later: Merchants of every size. (3-30,000 orders/day)
- Beta complete, apply for early access at shopify.com/fulfillment
When: Most updates had a timeline of "Available later this year"
