Last summer I joined a new R&D team at Shopify focused on building the future of commerce using only publicly available tools, then sharing exactly how we did it. We're always tinkering, and once we land on something special, we partner with brands to bring it to life at scale.

We built a vending machine that knows who you are.
For @Pokemon's 30th anniversary, Hobbiesville put it to work. Customers signed in with Shop, scanned their code, and their purchase history unlocked their pack. The deeper their collector history, the better the pack.
Customer loyalty, brought to life. For the True Collectors. Powered by @Shopify.
Excuse the mess in the sunroom, but we just moved into a new home a week ago, and finally have the office somewhat set up for back to work on Monday. Can't wait to create in this space.
I bought my first Philips hue bulbs in 2015 (2 pack), and they've moved with me from apartment to apartment. Earlier this week, one of the bulbs died. 10 years together
A huge thanks to @_LindsayCraig for building this team and guiding @nikodraca, @pegula, @mitchell_irl_, and me over the past year. It's truly a dream team, and I can't wait for you to see what we have in store this year.

At the biggest retail conference of the year, how do you make a moment memorable?
During our Shopify VIP experience at @NRFnews last week, merchants took home custom portraits of themselves, their kids and even their pets. Drawn in less than a minute.

This is personalization at scale.
I did a full breakdown on how we built this experience from start to finish, all powered by @Shopify
This Black Friday, @Culturekings turned their Vegas store into a full on game…and it crushed.
100 players, jackpot winners everyday, priceless memories created for their most valuable customers and in-store crowds throughout the entire weekend.
The whole thing ran through Shopify POS. Fast. Smooth. Zero friction.
