Ship your UI extensions in more languages. We removed the 256kb combined limit on locale files.

Long requested and finally here: copy Cart Metafields to the order at checkout completion! 🥳
Cart metafields are the greenpath storage option. I highly recommend switching from cart attributes and checkout metafields. If you’re staying on cart attributes or checkout metafields, what’s your blocker?

@Shopify devs, rejoice. Frankly, you may be thinking "what took you so friggin long?"
Polaris is now as a unified UI library, including for checkout and customer accounts. 🔥
Build UI extensions with standardized web components that work across Shopify surfaces. Same familiar syntax, consistent APIs and properties.
Preview available now, stable version in Oct. Developers, have at! Shoutout to the team 👏

Apps are the new normal for customizing Shopify. Here’s how you can build better customer experiences after checkout:

Create reusable functionality for efficiency:
• Build app blocks across the post-purchase flows
• Securely display order & customer information
• Implement unified branded experiences
📈 Add app pixels
Ensure purchase events are captured:
• Measure conversion and post-purchase events
• Integrate with the Customer Privacy API
• Subscribe from a wide range of events

3 years in the making 🥹
with todays launch 329 apps are available for merchants using (new) customer accounts !
thanks @harleyf for the shout! 🤜🤛
This is a big one. Merchants now have access to Customer Account Extensions.
That means you can add features to customer accounts, like loyalty programs, wishlists, and post-purchase offers, without touching code. Until now, this required edits to the .liquid template. We knew we could make it easier.
Starting today, you can use apps—and there are already hundreds in the App Store. The same way Checkout Extensions lets you customize the checkout experience, Customer Account Extensions let you customize customer accounts.
More customer account updates:
👤 Branded login pages: Design choices, like color and typography, that you make in the checkout and accounts editor will now carry over to login for brand consistency from start to finish. This is a big upgrade from only being able to add your logo.
👤 Customizable header menus: Add, remove and rename pages to make the customer experience easier to navigate.
All of these updates work together to create a smoother logged-in experience for your customers.

Yesterday was an incredible day for our merchants and for Shopify:
* Merchants drove a record-breaking $5 billion Black Friday in sales (GMV)
* Peak sales / minute for yesterday = $4.6 million
* Shopify's egress processed more than 173B requests
* Peak requests per minute was at 284 million on edge, with more than 80 million on app servers pushing 12TB a minute
* 45 million peak database queries per second, peak database writes was 7.6 million per second
* We rely on Kafka. At peak we hit 66 million messages per second
Let's keep going 🔥

This week at @Shopify we launched v1 of New Customer Accounts!
Before, to allow customers to manage orders, merchants used several apps *each w/ its own login* 😳
The new sys will allow customers to do everything *w/ one passwordless login* 🥹
Here's what you need to know👇

Hot take: stop holding on to the Agile Manifesto like some sort of holy grail of four sentences. Companies who ignored the Agile Manifesto and still succeeded:
Apple, Amazon, Microsoft, Facebook, Google.
Those companies are also the five most valuable companies in the world.

Is this the "goodby Intel" moment dev machine at many tech companies? So far Uber, Shopify, Reddit have all made this move the past few weeks.
It's ridiculous how much M1s improve the developer workflow and reduce noise/heat emissions (with no fans!!).

In case you needed another reason to work at @shopify, we just ordered M1 MacBook Pros 💻 for everyone in R&D.
Oh, and everyone gets to keep their Intel MacBook Pro and use it for whatever they'd like 🤩
