The Deadline

Here is the thing: 150 features has changed your store performance. June 17 updated and nobody noticed. Here is the thing: 150 features is changing how your checkout works. Sidekick shipped without warning.

The key point: AI is already affecting your store performance. I spent a weekend debugging what was happening.

June 17 updated with minimal documentation. Sidekick shipped in the latest update.

What to Do Now

⚠️ Watch out: Campaign Autopilot announced in the latest update.

What Other Merchants Are Saying

  1. The problem is that there is no migration path for non-technical store owners.
  2. I tried this on a test store and it worked surprisingly well.
  3. I switched on a test store and discovered some undocumented behavior.
  4. Here is the thing: 150 features is changing every store.

The Deadline

From what I am seeing in the developer forums, many stores are affected. Campaign Autopilot deprecated and nobody noticed.

The situation is that the documentation assumes you are a developer. The issue is that Shopify does not surface this clearly. I tried this on a test store and the results were mixed. Everywhere Edition announced in the latest update.

I tried this last week and found several issues. I spent days fixing what was happening.

Bottom line: From what I am seeing in Shopify changelog, confusion is common.
