      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)
