- Shopify announces more than 150 small upgrades
- Upgrades are designed to improve overall performance
- The company continues to deploy AI
One of the best electronic commerce platforms around the world, Shopify, has recently brought more than 150 changes, designed to improve performance and “make sure everything works well together”.
In an in-depth blog, published in mid-December, the company said that the update was “boring” because the changes are mainly small increments which “smoothed the rough edges”, but still highlighted some remarkable mentions.
The Shopify cash register should now be faster, as the Cart infrastructure has been optimized to increase load speeds up to 50%, said the company. In addition, payment blocks are now available for all plans for personalized thanks pages, and chat applications are now integrated into the cash register.
Shopify has also improved sales in person. Apparently, sales of outlets have increased by 31% in annual shift in the world, during the last black Friday, he said. This prompted the team to improve sales in person, allowing merchants to manage and sell beams directly via Shopify Pos, or to allow POS search results to display via a shared screen, so that the results are always visible alongside the basket.
Shopify Flow, an automation tool that helps store owners rationalize their commercial operations without the need to code, has also been upgraded. It now allows merchants to configure personalized workflows to avoid repetitive tasks for stock management, loyalty programs and discounts. Among the things that “work now better” are yields and exchanges, marketing automation and segment triggers.
IA displacement
Finally, no upgrade is complete without improving the application of artificial intelligence (AI). Sidekick, the commercial assistant fueled by AI from Shopify, will continue to be deployed to English -language merchants around the world, confirmed the company. He added that the tool will offer business owners “more superpowers” because it is specially designed to answer questions and help business level.
“The brand brand of good software is that it works,” concluded the company in its ad. “This predictability and this reliability are on which our traders count.”

Although more than 150 updates look like a radical change and may seem a little intimidating for existing shopify users, in reality, these changes will have little impact on how you use and interact with the Shopify platform .
Scrape the surface and you will discover that the majority of these changes have been made to “backstage” in order to make the tools and existing processes smoother and faster for users and their customers.
Innovation is always welcome in the space generator space, but it is great to see Shopify listen to users and focus its resources on improving current functionality, rather than neglecting them in favor of new tools.
