Shopify Magic: AI That Works for You

Custom Commerce Gets Easier
The Online Store Editor now supports drag-and-drop flex sections and AI-generated copy. Theme enhancements let you control color schemes, headers, and checkout fonts—no code required. Metaobjects and Shopify Functions give developers unmatched power to extend and customize stores from backend to storefront.
Smarter Checkout and Payments
One-page checkout with Shop Pay drives 50% higher conversion than guest checkout. New APIs enable address validation, custom delivery methods, and upsell experiences. Plus, Shopify Subscriptions and Bundles are now fully integrated—driving recurring revenue and higher AOV.
B2B on Shopify Levels Up
Merchants can now use vaulted credit cards, volume pricing, company-specific storefronts, PO numbers, and quick order lists to build seamless wholesale experiences. Automate B2B operations with Shopify Flow and simplify migrations with new tools—no code needed.
Shop App and Collective Expand Reach
Customize your Shop Store, drive conversions with Shop Cash, and leverage Shopify Collective to sell complementary products from other brands without holding inventory. With the Shop Minis SDK, developers can create immersive mobile commerce experiences inside the Shop app.
Build, Test, and Deploy Faster
From Hydrogen 2 to extension-only apps, Shopify’s developer tools are evolving fast. With Remix support, CLI improvements, and expanded APIs (like Cart Transform and Checkout UI Extensions), developers can launch performant custom storefronts in record time.
Shopify Editions Summer ’23 isn’t just an update—it’s a leap. With AI-infused workflows, powerful customizations, and deeper integrations across the commerce stack, Shopify empowers brands to innovate, scale, and thrive.
