Reminder: when there's a new Shopify theme version, 99% of the time it's completely okay to skip upgrading. Most stores have a lot of custom code on their theme already. So the upgrade can't be applied automatically. Instead of the huge development effort to merge the custom code into the new version, do this: Go to the theme's page, and look at the "Release notes". If you do see a change that's necessary, then have your developer merge that change only. It's a lot more practical. A lot of people think that when adding custom code to the theme, everything will automatically sort itself out in the future. It's not like that, and it's a cost that comes with running a business based on software. #shopify #shopifyplus #ecommerce

There are two ways to add custom code to a theme in Shopify. One has you rely on the dev 24/7, the other doesn't. Any custom code added needs to have a kill switch. An easy way to disable it in the future. It usually takes 5% more effort. When the feature is added, the developer needs to add a theme setting on the relevant file. If it's code on a section, add a section setting. If it's on a block, a block setting. If it's affecting multiple areas, a global theme setting. That way, if anything goes wrong you can turn it off with one click. Also, if business needs change in the future, you won't have to pay more to remove the code and test again. Important: The disabled state should be tested and functional. You don't want to add a setting but when disabled, the site doesn't work. #shopify #shopifyplus #ecommerce

If you or someone else is making changes to your Shopify theme's code, always do this: Add a specific comment, to let you easily find them in the future. If you don't do that, you'll have no idea what custom code to copy when you want to upgrade your theme version. Same for when you get a different theme. For every place in theme files where you add code, write a comment above: {% # Custom code %} When you edit a line of code, comment it out and do the same. {# Custom code #} {{ my_new_code }} {% comment %}{{ my_old_code }}{% endcomment %} You can also add information about what feature the code implements, or what other locations are relevant. For example, the section schema JSON, which doesn't allow comments. When you do want to migrate, download the theme to your device and search for the comment you added. #shopify #shopifyplus #ecommerce

Here's another question we are asked a lot - do we work only with Shopify? The answer is no, but about 85% of our projects are on the #Shopify platform. Here's why: * First of all Shopify’s standardisation lets us execute projects much, much faster. * For non-Shopify platforms, the complexity often increases. That’s why projects outside of Shopify tend to cost more. It’s a simple reflection of the additional time and resources needed to achieve the same outcomes. * We talk a lot internally about our knowledge being an “inch wide, mile deep.” We focus intensely on a narrower set of platforms (like Shopify) so we can deliver real depth of expertise. * Standardisation across projects means we can also invest time and resources into challenges that might otherwise not be feasible. This includes a number of custom coded solutions, including faceted navigation, schema, breadcrumbs and other components. * Macaroni Software connects to Shopify through our custom app, allowing us implement and track work at scale. We're firm believers that consistent inputs lead to consistent outcomes. Focusing on Shopify gives us a solid foundation to make this happen.

Shopify launched a number of new dynamic sources for themes. Here's why this makes managing the store much easier: Let's say you want to change where the product description is shown. For example, you need it on an image-with-text section. The only way was to write Liquid code. You couldn't use any section or block setting and show it as a dynamic source (the small icon that links dynamic instead of hardwritten text). Now, you can use any rich text field anywhere on the page. Same for some other fields and settings, like product featured image, collection description, blog content, etc. This makes infinite layouts possible, without writing any code. To test which fields you can use, open any section or block setting and click on the Dynamic sources icon. #shopify #shopifyplus #ecommerce
