Ep 157: Special Podcast! Shopify Summer Editions 2025 - with Ben Homer, Senior Solutions Engineer at Shopify

Update: 2025-05-29

Description

On this episode I’m breaking down Shopify’s Summer Editions 2025 with Ben Homer, Senior Solutions Engineer at Shopify.

We cover Shopify’s new AI-powered Horizon theme and what it means for design freedom, explore the interplay between consumer- and merchant-facing AI, and dig into standout updates—from Sidekick’s new voice and screen-sharing capabilities, to split fulfilment via Ship and Carry Out, and big unlocks like Multi-Entity and Multi-Currency Payouts.

We also talk about the role of partners and agencies in a post-AI world, the future of immersive checkouts like Roblox, and whether this Editions release is quietly reshaping the platform for the next era of commerce.
