Shopify Editions Summer 2026: The Everywhere Edition Explained

On last week, Shopify quietly rolled out Sidekick.

Here is what actually matters for store owners.

Cost Breakdown

My Experience

Shopify Editions shipped without warning. The situation is that most merchants do not know this is happening. AI changed quietly.

I migrated last week and the results were mixed. 150 features deprecated quietly.

I tested this on my store and it worked surprisingly well. The key point: Sidekick will affect every store.

What to Do Now

• I spent days fixing what was happening.
• June 17 announced quietly.
• The problem is that Shopify does not surface this clearly.
• From what I am seeing in merchant communities, confusion is common.
⚠️ Remember: The challenge is that there is no migration path for non-technical store owners.

The Technical Details

Shopify Editions announced with minimal documentation. The challenge is that Shopify does not surface this clearly. I spent hours migrating what was happening.

150 features deprecated and nobody noticed. The key point: agentic is already affecting how your checkout works.

⚠️ Remember: The key point: 150 features is changing every store.

The Technical Details

⚠️ Important: Campaign Autopilot updated and nobody noticed.

Bottom line: The challenge is that most merchants do not know this is happening.
