Winter Editions dropped and we did what any reasonable Shopify nerds would do.

We hit record immediately, argued about what year it even is for a solid minute, then jumped straight into the updates that actually matter if you build on Shopify or run a store on Shopify.

P.S This is Cart to Cart, our new podcast, we just wanted to jump right into it!

In this episode we get into:

• The AI Renaissance site, the Easter eggs, and why Shopify’s launch pages are always a flex
• Shopify Product Network and why it feels like the “marketplace pieces” are starting to click
• Sidekick building basic apps (and why that is a huge unlock for small teams)
• Sidekick connecting with partner apps, and why “native admin” is a win even if it hides the app a bit
• Agentic shopping and the “new SEO” question every merchant is about to face
• SIM Gym and A/B testing for stores that do not have big traffic
• Shop Minis and whether the Shop app can become a real habit

Featuring: Brenda Storer (Theme Partner, Whisk) Anne Thomas (Design Packs) Trudy MacNabb (Design Packs) Diana (Downpay)
