ShopOps Weekly

Weekly digest of what Shopify shipped, written for merchants.

Weekly, FridaysFreeShopExpertsbeehiiv

The most consistent tracker of Shopify platform changes in this section, weekly. Covers what actually shipped each week rather than commentary: ChatGPT Ads going live for Shopify, Meta becoming an AI channel, Stocky being retired, variants gaining multiple barcodes, same-day delivery opening to every store. For app vendors the value is the platform-change log: Shopify absorbing a capability is usually the week your roadmap changes, and this catches it without reading the changelog yourself. Also tracks app-market moves, such as Judge.me undercutting Shopify Email on price. Free, no paid tier.

Watch for. Published by ShopExperts, who also run App Store Research, both listed in this directory. Written for merchants rather than app developers, so app-ecosystem coverage is incidental to the main thread rather than the focus.
