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
6:08
know take a look through this if you
6:10
have any questions I am here for it
6:13
have a good day
