July 8, 2024 / Estimated read time: 4-5 minutes
Alright, Shopify Editions Summer 2024 just dropped, and it’s straight fire. This isn’t just a tweak here and there—it’s a full-blown toolkit for taking your online store from “meh” to a money-minting powerhouse. From AI tools that do the heavy lifting to sleek global management features that scream boss mode, Shopify’s clearly not here to play.
At HRVST, we’ve been in the trenches with Shopify for years, and we know what moves the needle. These updates? They’re primed to help brands crush their goals, scale smarter, and flex harder in their niche. Let’s break it down feature by feature so you can see what’s worth your time—and how we can help you own it.
Markets
Shopify just handed you the keys to the global e-comm kingdom. Markets is your all-in-one dashboard to run cross-border, retail, and B2B like a pro.
Forget juggling a million tools—this is plug-and-play for managing localized prices, custom catalogs, and multilingual setups. Wanna go international without the chaos? Shopify’s got your back.
Selling worldwide just went from “headache” to “hell yeah.” You get to focus on stacking sales while Shopify does the grunt work.
Split shipping
Ever lose a sale because checkout got weird? Split shipping is here to make your customers’ lives easy-peasy.
Now, they can pick different shipping options for each item in their cart. Got a heavy desk that’s slow to ship and a must-have hoodie? They can choose cheap for the desk and express for the hoodie—no stress, no surprises.
When you let customers control the experience, trust skyrockets. And trust = repeat buyers.
Shopify Magic
AI just pulled up in the e-comm game like a star player, and Shopify Magic is making sure you’ve got the assist.
Sidekick? Your personal AI hype man, dishing out campaign ideas, segment insights, and killer copy in seconds. Media tools? Pro-grade visuals, no designer needed. Customer support? Fully automated, so you can focus on scaling without the chaos. It’s like hiring a dream team, but without the payroll. Automate the boring stuff and shine where it counts.
Rebuilt analytics
Data is king, but bad data? That’s a time suck. Shopify’s rebuilt analytics is a straight-up glow-up, delivering real-time insights that let you react right now.
The new interface is slick and customizable, making it stupid easy to spot trends, tweak strategies, and keep your momentum going. And with ShopifyQL, you can run custom queries that give you hyper-specific intel when you need it. This isn’t guesswork—it’s next-level decision-making with data that keeps you winning.
Theme style settings
Cookie-cutter templates? Hard pass. Shopify’s flex sections give you full control of your store’s vibe, from desktop to mobile, without touching a single line of code. Customize layouts, swap designs, and make your store look like a million bucks without needing a dev on speed dial.
Why it’s dope: Your brand gets to shine like the original it is, not some off-the-shelf wannabe.
Hydrogen visual editor
Building headless storefronts just got stupid easy. Shopify’s Hydrogen visual editor gives you drag-and-drop control with backend power. Make tweaks, test layouts, and see changes instantly—all without waiting on your dev team to pull through. This is customization for brands who like to move fast and look good doing it.
Managed markets
Going global is a vibe, but managing duties, taxes, and currency exchanges? Not so much. Shopify’s managed markets handle it all for you.
Your customers get smooth checkouts with no hidden surprises, and you get competitive shipping rates baked right in.
Why it matters: It’s hassle-free expansion, so you can focus on securing the bag.
Ship to & from store
Every brick-and-mortar just became a mini fulfillment center. Shopify’s ship to & from store gives your customers the power to choose local pickup or have items shipped directly from your store.
Why it’s clutch: Faster delivery, happier customers, and a local edge that makes your brand stand out.
Easy retail checkout
Shopify’s retail checkout features just leveled up the in-store experience. Think digital receipts, instant return info, and seamless Shop Pay integration that preloads customer details for faster transactions.
It’s smoother, faster, and feels just as effortless as shopping online.
Why it’s fire: No hiccups, no hassle—just a checkout process that keeps customers coming back.
Shop campaigns & audiences
Shopify’s new marketing tools are straight precision. With Shop Campaigns and Audiences, you’re targeting the right people at the right time—every time.
Real-time feedback lets you double down on what’s working and kill what’s not. No more spray-and-pray ad spends.
Why it’s smart: Stretch your budget, boost your ROI, and watch those conversions stack up.
