Shopify is building the foundation for agentic commerce.

Universal Commerce Protocol, which we co-developed with Google, is now live. UCP will make it faster for agents and retailers to integrate.

It’s open by default, so platforms and agents can use UCP to start transacting with any merchant. Major retailers are already using it.

Agents can handle everything from discovery to fulfillment, and support things like discounts, subscriptions, and loyalty programs. We’ve accounted for all types of commerce.

@nejatian Was Peter Gibbons siphoning off the fractions of a penny to an external bank account?

[André Lyver @andrelyver]

This blows my mind every year.

[tobi lutke @tobi]

It's officially Black Friday in the first time zones and we're live with this year's Live Globe, now inside a pinball machine.

The design is beautiful, it’s fun to play, and live sales trigger surprises. The team went all out on this one.

Give it a spin.

[Harley Finkelstein @harleyf]

Last year, over 875 million people bought something from a @Shopify merchant's store. That’s essentially 1 in every 6 Internet users.

People are buying from the brands they love, and those brands are powered by @Shopify.

@rigelstpierre @Shopify Congrats Rigel and the entire Mejuri team. Nice to have you on board, and happy to be working with you.

[André Lyver @andrelyver]

A truly epic week, and the best Summit ever.

Shopify Summit, a ton of new features from Editions, and Hack Days all in one jam packed week.

[Kaz Nejatian @nejatian]

We just finished @Shopify Summit - a week spent in Toronto meeting with our partners, colleagues, and merchants.

Shopify is a special company because of its mission and its people. The future of entrepreneurship is bright.

[André Lyver @andrelyver]

Such an incredible platform already that it’s hard to believe that it’s only v1.0. Congrats to the entire team @gadget_dev!

[Gadget @gadget_dev]

It’s #GadgetLaunchWeek, and @hashemito and @harrybrundage are here to kick us off.

Over the next few days developing @Shopify apps is going to get a lot more fun, fast, and friction-free.

Introducing Gadget v1.0

@mitchgarber @titocurtis I applaud the initiative @mitchgarber, but one part that surely needs to die is the horrendous mobile web experience.

I understand ads pay the bills, but when ads get in the way of consuming content, there’s a serious problem. Look at this painful mess. It drives people away.

[tobi lutke @tobi]

Shopify Editions is back. 100+ improvements to help our merchants, developers, and partners build for the long-term. https://t.co/Wog7oS8lkG

New year, new scale: We just announced Commerce Components by Shopify. Game changer for enterprise retailers.

[André Lyver @andrelyver]

Commerce Components by Shopify.

A game-changer for enterprise retailers, who now have the tools, flexibility and performance they need to build faster and sell more.

[Harley Finkelstein @harleyf]

There’s never been an enterprise offering that gives large retailers the choice, flexibility & performance they need to compete - until now.

Introducing: Commerce Components by Shopify

Honored that the iconic brand @Mattel is one of the first to join us.

@jimmurphy @ZainManji @evansammccann Damn typo. Meant “wasn’t bad”🤦🏼‍♂️

[André Lyver @andrelyver]

@ZainManji @jimmurphy @evansammccann Agree. And Episode 12 was bad either, Jim. 😉

@chrisinchcom @paulygoldston I’ll take a dirty bar and a sweaty mosh pit any day.

[André Lyver @andrelyver]

@chrisinchcom @paulygoldston I don’t think VR will solve this.

There. I said it.

[André Lyver @andrelyver]

@chrisinchcom @paulygoldston That’s exactly what live albums fail to recreate: the live experience.

Although, I’m thankful for recordings of some epic live versions. Tragically Hip’s New Orleans is Sinking, KillerWhaleTank (one word), and Rush’s YYZ (drum solo) from Exit Stage Left come to mind.

[André Lyver @andrelyver]

@benjaminsehl Pro tip: never reinstall it after your vacation.

@thegedge @ralfelfving @gadget_dev @Shopify

[André Lyver @andrelyver]

@agarcher @chrisinchcom Doing this at the end of each workday is liberating. Try it.
