@RafalStratik @Shopify Totally, a lot of founders forget about distribution entirely. "Just build it, and users will come" days are over

@IconUtopia @Shopify I’d start with one and go all in distribution.

Should you build a single @Shopify app or a portfolio? Start with one app. Go 100% in. Solve one problem really well. Only after that works, a portfolio can start to make sense: - Shared trust. - Shared traffic. - Shared support. - Shared learnings. - Shared distribution. A portfolio gives leverage, but only if every new app makes the whole system stronger. Recently chatted with @uvkewate about my learnings from running a Shopify app portfolio. Link in comments.

@DmitryBBLV @Shopify True!

This is such an underrated point. A portfolio only works when each product compounds the others instead of splitting focus. We’re seeing something similar while building Froxi AI distribution and learnings become much more valuable once there’s already one strong product foundation

@GetEssentialApp partnerships with #Shopify agencies are in full swing! We partnered with Makrii Agency to co-host a free webinar for our 250k merchants. Great partnerships create a win-win-win: - Merchants get valuable insights. - Agencies get exposure and new leads. - We share practical tips on how our products can help them grow. Comment if you’re a Shopify store owner interested in joining the webinar, or an agency that wants to explore partnership opportunities. I'm always happy to chat!

Spent some time working out of a villa with the @GetEssentialApp team. Building, talking, relaxing, laughing, and just enjoying time together. Sometimes I pause and realize how lucky and grateful I am to build alongside so many talented, motivated, and genuinely kind people ❤️

@harleyf @tobi 100B! 🤯More entrepreneurs!

Shopify just reported on Q1. The numbers speak for themselves. → $101B in merchant sales, second consecutive quarter over $100B, up 35% YoY → $3.2B revenue, up 34% YoY → $476M free cash flow, 15% margin That’s what a clear strategy, well executed, looks like. For Q2 and beyond, here’s what really matters. AI will accelerate entrepreneurship more than any other job.

@eComJonathanX Love the ux, very smooth. Is there a posibility to set different badge text for different products?

Forgot how fun frontend work is. Cart upsells for Function Studio are shaping up nicely. Shipping soon.

@OisinO Damn, this is huge! Congrats! 🙌

My company, Recharge, just acquired Skio for $105m. This is the largest private acquisition in the space ever. Just 5 years ago I got a crazy phone call that nearly killed us... Here’s the story I've never told anyone before:

@malisauskasLT See you in Toronto! 🙌

July 16-20 New York, USA 🗽 July 20-23 Toronto, CA 🍁 Let’s hang out!

@aevershed @Shopify Wow, that was fast! Appreciate it, will shoot you a DM

@IconUtopia @Shopify hey @IconUtopia - that's me! Feel free to shoot me a DM and I'd love to hear more

Just got early access to the new user permissions page for Shopify Partners 👀 Looks like Shopify is rolling out role-based access control across orgs. Happy to share feedback/thoughts with the right team. Who’s the best person at @Shopify to connect with on this?

@tamir_eden Incredible! Will give it a go! Thanks

We open-sourced 63 Claude Code skills for Shopify. Your AI agent can now recover abandoned carts, audit inventory, flag fraud, run financial reports, manage fulfillments, and a lot more, directly inside your store. Free. skills.40rty.ai

@b_grudka Doubling conversion is crazy. Congrats!

We rebuilt our entire Shopify storefront from scratch during a rebrand. The result: product page conversion rate doubled. It wasn't one big change. It was dozens of small ones - faster load times, cleaner layouts, fewer distractions in the buying flow, accessibility fixes nobody asked for. CRO isn't a project. It's a habit.

@BallinFil No problem! But if you have a minute, I’m just wandering what exact functionality you’re looking in the email timer? And why specifically focused on email only?

@IconUtopia Prefer an app with 100% focus on email sorry!

What's the most advanced email countdown timer SaaS right now? Ideally ecom-first, but open to anything...

@karri_tweets This hits close. Could imagine how stressful this is. Huge respect for owning it, fixing and communicating it this clearly.

We messed up a bunch of customer emails. Badly. Last Tuesday April 7th, we deployed a code change meant to fix an email security issue to prevent spoofed emails from appearing to come from legitimate addresses. That change had an unintended side effect on contact form submissions. I’d like to say this change was by a dev just carelessly vibe coding a change he didn’t understand properly, but unfortunately the change was proposed by me and reviewed by my cofounder CTO. Instead of identifying Shopify contact form submissions by the actual customer's email, our system started identifying them by the reply address at the top of the email, like mailer@shopify.com. Contact form submissions were then sometimes merged into a single contact record by the AI agent. Any reply sent on those conversations, whether by the AI agent or a human agent, went to that merged contact instead of the customer who originally wrote in. In some cases the reply went to a no-reply mailer address and was never delivered. In other cases it went to a different customer entirely. Ouch. 147 Commslayer accounts were affected between April 7 and April 10. Some of these are pretty bad as the bug was there for 3 days. The contents of these misdirected emails varied. Some included customer names, email addresses, phone numbers and order details. What we've done so far: - Deployed the fix on Friday April 10 at 12:47 UTC. New conversations can no longer be affected - Went through affected conversations over the last 48 hours, reopening them and setting them as unassigned. - Cleaned up the bad contact merges and detached the wrong contacts from the affected records - Added monitoring to catch anything similar immediately. Every affected merchant is getting a personal email from me today with the full list of affected conversations in their account, step-by-step instructions for their support team and billing credits. My cofounder/CTO Tvrtko and I have been working non-stop since this surfaced to contain it and get in front of it. This is the kind of thing that makes you lose sleep but the worst part is that we’ve caused a bunch of manual work for hundreds of people. Running mission critical saas at the scale of thousands of merchants requires more carefulness and we failed at it big time. I’m not going to spin it or minimize it. We broke something, customer data and emails went to the wrong place and we own that completely. If you are a Commslayer user, check your admin email later today.

@TRPage_dev @dear_trudence Wow, this is incredible! Thanks for creating this! 🙏

Can't top the #DotDev2026 tickets going on sale today, but pretty excited to finally get to share what @dear_trudence and I have been working on - sdatoronto.dev For the uninitiated, Toronto is an AMAZING city and there's so much to explore in between learning about all things @ShopifyDevs BUT we can't just pester our Toronto friends endlessly between now and July! Or can we... That's why Trudy lent us some of her amazing knowledge and we bothered some other Toronto natives to bring you some of the must-see places! Also feel free to check out some of the Shopify sites leveraging Catalog API 😉 It's still a work in progress, but happy to see it launch 🚀 plan your week at DotDev 2026 and share with friends.

@DVystartas Great insights, loved the post! Good luck with Klero, keep it up! 🙌

I wrote an honest post about what actually worked getting users for our SaaS. It's now #5 on r/buildinpublic with 1.4K views in 3 hours. Didn't expect that. Link in comments if you want the full breakdown.

@leteyski @ZipchatAI Just checked it out, amazing high quality content. Well done! Not many Shopify apps manages to pull this off, congrats!
