Shopify News
Shipping tools get a major upgrade
All fulfillment essentials are now built into the Shopify admin:
Bulk label purchase (up to 250 orders)
Pick lists with product locations
Address validation & shipping insurance
Delivered Duty Paid (DDP) labels for smooth international shipping
No third-party app needed.
DHL expands international shipping
U.S. merchants can now access DHL Express & DHL eCommerce services directly in Shopify. That means affordable DDP/DDU shipping to 200+ countries, faster customs clearance, and real-time tracking.
Automate your fraud settings
Merchants using Shopify Payments can now let Shopify automatically manage fraud rules. The system uses 400+ signals to block suspicious orders more accurately. Turning this on:
Shopify acquires Molly Studio
Shopify is doubling down on design with its new Product Design Studio. The idea: as AI makes tech more uniform, design will become the differentiator. Expect sharper user experiences across the platform.
No merchandiser? No problem!
Are you a mid-tier Shopify brand with a small team but no dedicated merchandiser?
AppStoreResearch.com is a platform that connects app and tool developers with real users like you for feedback, product testing, and research. One of their researchers wants to hear from you!
Here’s the new project they have posted:
Online Merchandising As A Service
“We're launching a new service of adding a part time merchandiser to your team and I'd like to get your feedback on this. We're looking to talk to mid tier brands with a small team that don't have a merchandiser on their team.”
🕒 30 min | 15 slots available | $120
Don’t miss out - slots are filling fast!
Shopify now supports nested cart items – meaning you can have a parent product with child products underneath. This is huge for:
Product add-ons
Custom bundles
Warranties & fees
Customizable products
Why it matters:
Native support replaces fragile custom code
Works on all Shopify plans (not just Plus)
Shows up everywhere: cart, checkout, emails, admin
To enable:
Update your theme (Dawn, Horizon already supported)
Check your email templates
Use the
parent_idfield when adding items
👉 Want bundles that actually increase AOV and look professional? Shopexperts.com can set it up for you.
Lollipop by Designthemes – $100 USD
Designed for beauty & skincare brands, Lollipop offers:
Elegant, conversion-ready layouts
Two ready-made store designs
Flexible, easy-to-use settings
If you’re in cosmetics, this theme could save you hours of setup while still looking polished.
Photo of the week
A cozy Parisian bookstore window filled with neatly stacked books, handwritten price tags, and a curated selection that tells a story before you even step inside. It’s a reminder that curation sells. The store isn’t overwhelming you with every book they stock — instead, it’s showcasing a handful in a way that feels intentional, personal, and inviting.
