Shopify Editions 2024: Summer Edition - Key Updates

A huge update to the Shopify platform has added more than 150 new features. We can't mention all of them, but some of them are particularly interesting to us.

Single Shopify CLI

A single installation of the Shopify CLI makes it easy to create Hydrogen apps, themes, and storefronts.

npm install -g @shopify/cli@latest

Managing app costs is now easier

You can now easily customize, update and manage pricing and billing for apps from your partner dashboard without having to write code.

App validation is now faster

New apps now checkout 30% faster with clearer approval prerequisites, personalized recommendations, and transparent progress updates.

Checkout Blocks now has a free plan

Checkout Blocks is a free and easy way to personalize checkout with checkout page extensions. No code changes are needed. Exclusive to Plus.

The Trade theme is available in-store now

Customize your B2B store with a ready-made Trade theme designed for repeat and bulk purchases. The theme is free of charge.

New analytics

Shopify has rebuilt their analytics suite to make it faster, more flexible, and more intuitive. You'll get deeper insights into your store's performance in real-time. And soon use ShopifyQL to query your data right in the report.

Hydrogen Visual Website Builder

Hydrogen visual editor powered by Utopia allows your entire team to design, sell, and create products using a shared storefront view. The code remains the base of the storefront, but changes to the builder are synchronized with GitHub.

These were one of the most important updates in my opinion. View the whole updates list.
