Episode description

Shopify just dropped Winter Editions ’26, which means you probably should spend time reading the 150+ release notes and try to figure out what ”Renaissance” actually means for your margins. Fear not. I read them so you didn’t have to. On this special roundtable episode of Shopify1Percent, I brought in the heavy hitters—Gavin McKew (Shero Commerce) and Max Rolon (Domaine) to do surgery on the update. We strip away the marketing fluff to find the features that will actually make you money (and the ones you can safely ignore until 2027)
