Local machines had become a bottleneck for agentic mobile development at @Shopify, so we gave agents their own remote dev environments. They now author 61% of our merged PRs 🧵

I have been writing code professionally for over 20 years and I have yet to successfully write an AppleScript. Even AI assistants are flummoxed. Truly a read-only language.

A order on @SaltandSundry just tipped Shopify over the 1 trillion(!) in cumulative GMV. Monumental milestone for us. A beautiful small business run by Amanda McClemens in DC. Couldn't have been a better example of what makes Shopify special: shopsaltandsundry.com/pages/…

Today we are releasing a major piece of hardware: POS Terminal. This is a powerful countertop payment device that addresses two key things our merchants have been asking for: 1. More options for connectivity: WiFi and Ethernet so that merchants can handle their busiest sales days on Shopify. 2. Full-featured customer display that gives customers transparency, a smooth & fast checkout that is also fully customizable so merchants can create a fully branded moment at the counter. This hardware is absolutely critical to making the in-store experience seamless and convenient for customers as we move into the busiest retail holiday season where both foot traffic and transaction volumes will peak. Check it out: shopify.com/pos/retail-colle…

AR is an incredible tool but right now, creating a 3D model is complicated, timely, expensive and not practical for many brands. We’re changing that @Shopify. Today, with the release of #iOS17, we’re making it possible for all our merchants to create 3D models from the palm of their hand in under 20 mins 🤳​ No more expensive gear, agency meetings, or long wait times. All you need is: - Good lighting - A place where you are able to walk around your product 360 degrees - An iPhone Pro, using iOS 17 and the latest version of the @Shopify app This is major. Just another way to create interactive buying experiences for your customers. @Shopify is just getting started in spatial commerce.

Last night, Jensen Huang of NVIDIA gave his very first live keynote in 4-years. The most show-stopping moment from the event was when he showed off the real-time AI in video games. A human speaks, the NPC responds, in real time and the dialogue was generated with AI on the fly.

Shopify is the best-converting platform in the 🌎. Period. And… we can prove it. Today, we're sharing results from a Big Three global management consulting firm, and the data speaks for itself: "Shopify converts up to 36% better than the competition and 15% more on average" Not building with Shopify is now a competitive liability. shopify.com/enterprise/shopi…
