Karl and Taylor talk music and video games, everything from Taylor's limited cultural upbringing and getting to experience classic rock for the first time to the ins and outs of the Nintendo Switch.
Taylor speaks to building a custom bundler into a Shopify theme and new issues related to applying a discount, including problems with a method that used to work well in the past with URL parameters. In addition to this, another gift with purchase issue when applying a discount doesn't work perfectly and other ways to approach this with customers.
Karl provides more background on the difficulties involved with a major migration from BigCommerce to Shopify for a merchant with over 250,000 orders.
Karl and Taylor then dig into Shopify Editions for summer 2023 and what it means for Shopify and app and theme devs.
