Shopify

As a store owner at Shopify, I am thrilled to launch our Summer '25 Edition! This edition is built with one goal in mind: to make it even easier and faster for entrepreneurs like us to succeed. They've woven powerful and intuitive AI tools throughout the platform to amplify your creativity and confidence, from designing your storefront with AI assistance via the new Horizon theme to getting deep business insights from the significantly upgraded Sidekick. What's new and unique? This edition features over 150+ upgrades, including a completely reengineered developer platform for faster app building, enhanced retail tools like the redesigned POS and Tap to Pay, and new ways for your products to be discovered through AI shopping agents. They've also made global selling simpler than ever. For me, the game-changers in this edition are definitely the AI enhancements – having Sidekick provide instant business insights feels like having a co-pilot, and the Horizon theme's design assistance has already saved me so much time. I'm also incredibly excited about my products potentially showing up on AI shopping agents; it feels like unlocking a brand new channel for discovery. They've made the complicated parts of running a business feel simple and intuitive, allowing me to focus on what I love: building my brand and connecting with customers. I can't wait to see what others build with this!
