Shopify Editions Recap Conversation With Shopify Agencies
Description
Nick Kaplan steps in as guest co-host with Rick Watson —and yes, we doubled up on Nicks because mediocrity requires one, but excellence needs two.
Nick and Rick, who are in the same studio, talk about Peleton’s P2P play, Temu’s struggle, and they recap The Lead Summit.
They are then joined by Shopify Agency operators to talk about their trip to Toronto for Editions.
🧠 The Shopify Agency Lineup:
Mark Perini – Founder of ICEE Social
Jacquelyn Laufer – Driver Digital Partner
Nick Thomson – Head of Partnerships at The Maze Group
We cover several key issues arising from last week's Edition.dev event:
- What were the vibes at Shopify Editions in Toronto?
- Will there be a system integrator extinction event due to AI and Horizon?
- What should agencies lean into as a result of Editions?
- Is there really a staging environment? Are we serious right now?
- Is Headless Dead To Shopify?
