    hey I've been wanting to make this video

    0:02

    for a few weeks but work and life has

    0:05

    been

    0:06

    busy so welcome back to the calibrated

    0:08

    Concepts YouTube channel I want to talk

    0:11

    through Shopify they did at their

    0:14

    editions over the summer a little while

    0:16

    ago and there is some cool freaking

    0:19

    stuff coming out

    0:20

    um coming up in the next few weeks and

    0:23

    months so I wanted to walk you through

    0:25

    their additions uh and the things that

    0:27

    I'm most excited about because there's a

    0:29

    lot in here

    0:31

    so the first one you'll see that they've

    Sidekick AI

    0:34

    highlighting and this is probably their

    0:35

    big big push is sidekick and Sidekick is

    0:38

    AI

    0:40

    um it's going to allow you to do things

    0:41

    primarily to allow for

    0:45

    um a chat Vault on your website really

    0:48

    easily that's really accurate you can

    0:50

    feed it the information but it's also is

    0:52

    smart enough to be able to read the

    0:53

    information on your website and so to

    0:55

    answer questions for your clients

    0:59

    automatically so that's really really

    1:00

    cool

    1:02

    um

    1:02

    but so there's lots of really think cool

    1:04

    mobile things that are happening and

    1:06

    stuff like that but my favorite thing is

    1:09

    this one being able to you're going to

    Customization Within A Section

    1:11

    have so much more customization

    1:13

    within a section

    1:15

    um for a long time sections we're really

    1:17

    really static there wasn't

    1:19

    um the ability to have really a lot of

    1:22

    variety in sections and how you

    1:23

    manipulated them you weren't really

    1:27

    um able to change things within sections

    1:29

    but now we've got sections and blocks

    1:31

    and all of those have made a big big

    1:32

    difference in Shopify 2.0 but now we're

    1:36

    getting a full-on

    1:38

    what they say call wizzy wave which is

    1:40

    what you see as what you get editor that

    1:43

    is fluid enough to be moved around

    1:46

    um and you don't have to code for it as

    1:48

    much so it's going to be so so good

    1:50

    really looking forward to that

    1:53

    um Shopify subscriptions that's another

    Shopify Subscriptions

    1:55

    one of these things and I'm really

    1:56

    looking forward to people who sell

    1:58

    subscription products and services it's

    2:01

    going to be really really helpful well

    2:02

    pretty much products about delivering

    2:05

    all those things and because as you know

    2:07

    getting people on a subscription is

    2:08

    really important because

    2:10

    it allows for recurring income and which

    2:13

    is probably one of the biggest keys to

    2:15

    so many small businesses

    2:18

    um this is the other thing I'm really

    2:19

    really looking forward to these two

    Business to Business Features

    2:21

    things business to business features so

    2:24

    being able to take a look at all of your

    2:27

    um listings if you sell to other big box

    2:30

    retailers or online you're going to be

    2:32

    able to manage that all in Shopify which

    2:34

    is going to be really cool with Shopify

    2:35

    Market Marketplace connect but also what

    2:39

    I love is business to business if you as

    2:41

    a Shopify store

    2:43

    are in your cell your products and

    2:46

    another Shopify store

    2:49

    then people can buy your products and

    2:52

    their products from their store and

    2:54

    Shopify is going to manage all of it so

    2:57

    you're not going to have to manage

    3:00

    um your inventory differently or

    3:01

    anything Shopify will know okay then

    3:03

    this bib was bought through that store

    3:05

    let's take it off or at this scrunchie

    3:07

    came from that other store so it allows

    3:10

    you to expand your reach and your sales

    3:12

    by partnering with like-minded

    3:14

    businesses with like not the same

    3:17

    products but similar products that yours

    3:19

    might be complimentary for and so this

    3:20

    is gonna be really really freaking cool

    3:23

    like I'm buzzing about this one

    3:26

    particularly

    3:28

    so it's going to be so so easy

    3:30

    and you're going to be able to add price

    3:33

    breaks in different for

    3:35

    um

    3:37

    for this so this is also oh sorry this

    3:40

    is actually I'm talking about the wrong

    3:41

    feature this is actually going to be

    3:44

    able to if you're doing wholesale if you

    3:45

    have a wholesale shop and doing volume

    3:47

    based pricing you can do tiered pricing

    3:49

    which is really really cool

    3:52

    um and this was the Shopify Marketplace

    3:55

    connect that we talked about so I'm

    3:56

    going to pause this video but if you

    3:58

    want to learn more about any of this

    4:00

    just I'll pop the link in the

    4:01

    description but this is it here super

    4:03

    helpful

    4:06

    um and then

    4:10

    wait I just want to go back so the

    4:11

    subscriptions is just seeing what we

    4:13

    have here for all of you not more than

    4:16

    anything really more than what I told

    4:17

    you but you're going to see a demo of

    4:18

    them all through these things

    New API's

    4:21

    um new apis new apps for things like

    4:23

    creating bundles which is going to be

    4:25

    really exciting

    4:27

    um and those are some of my most ex

    4:29

    those are sort of the ones I'm the most

    4:31

    excited about

    4:32

    um I love that they're allowing for

    4:33

    online editing with AI that they're

    Online Editing

    4:36

    creating AI design for Commerce so this

    4:38

    is going to be for helping you with

    4:39

    things like product descriptions

    4:41

    um your AI powered assistant like

    4:42

    there's so much coming in their AI World

    4:46

    um and then yeah there's just there's so

    4:49

    much information on here I don't want to

    4:50

    give you overwhelmed

    4:53

    um but look at this custom fonts for

    Customs Fonts for Checkouts

    4:55

    checkouts coming like hell yeah

    4:59

    um

    4:59

    and I think number one I'm so excited

    5:02

    about is the online store editor and the

    Online Store Editor

    5:05

    just having this flexibility and design

    5:07

    that we haven't always had in Shopify

    5:11

    um

    5:13

    oh yes and this International thing

    Internation Audiences

    5:15

    some of these things I love because I

    5:17

    work with Squarespace and I work with

    5:19

    Shopify I love seeing them start to

    5:20

    almost catch up to each other in

    5:22

    different areas

    5:24

    um

    5:24

    very very cool color schemes look at

    Color Schemes

    5:27

    this

    5:28

    it's just so much of this like where

    5:31

    Shopify I feel like it's catching up is

    5:32

    in this customization

    5:35

    um and Squarespace is trying to catch up

    5:37

    in Commerce so it's a lot of fun to

    5:38

    watch these two platforms become ever

    5:41

    more beautiful and Powerful

    5:44

    so that is that there's a lot of really

    5:47

    cool stuff coming down with uh

    5:49

    storefronts and POS and creating apps if

    5:52

    you're you know an app developer

    5:55

    um but really that's the bulk of it for

    5:58

    me

    5:59

    um I think there's some really cool

    6:00

    stuff coming down the line and I really

    6:03

    can't wait to hear what your favorite

    6:05

    new feature coming to Shopify is let me
