Recently, on 29th June 2021 Shopify’s annual Shopify Partner – Developers Conference (Shopify Unite 2021) was held with the theme Coding Commerce Together.

What is Coding Commerce? Do merchants now have to handle coding to run a store? No, on the contrary, Shopify aims to reduce the dependency on coding of any store as even if you are a tech person, time is of the essence when it comes to running an online store.

This blog will let you know what is stored for the merchant in this 2021 Shopify Unite event.

Power of customization​

What appears aesthetic good is sold.The genZ is becoming a visual lover instead of text these days. The importance of visual & user experience in any field cannot be denied.

With this in mind, Shopify has released the most notable update of the platform call Online Store 2.0.

Thanks to the online store 2.0 which allows merchants to change the layout of the store without having to play with the codes.

Content managing will become more flexible with the help of sections and blocks, the unlimited possibilities of creating a personalized and aesthetic store will open up.

Right now the customer has more than one option to not only buy online but also to pay after purchase. If you do not want to lose the customer you will have to provide the payment methods of their choice.

Shopify could not resist the temptation to bring the Buy Now Pay Letter strategy into its ecosystem, and why not? This strategy could help merchants increase their revenue. With the help of Shop Pay, the customer will be able to pay the bill in four easy installments.

Built in Email marketing tool​

It will reduce dependency on various several email marketing apps.

Different store needs different storefronts​
