Senior Product Lead @Shopify, building Shopify Functions
Waterloo
Joined April 2009
Incredibly excited for this launch🚀 The opportunity has never been greater for partners to build entirely new solutions for merchants. Let's get building 🏗️.
I've been talking a lot about infrastructure lately, so let me highlight one piece that I'm especially excited about: Shopify Function. We want to make the import easy and everything else possible. Until now, the backend was closed. Thanks to Web Assembly we can change that.

I realized why I enjoy building Claude Commands: it’s less about solving individual problems and more about designing the system itself.

Instead of hitting Retry on that flakey test, I just asked AI to fix it, almost the same amount of time.

The first step for any @ShopifyDevs working with LLMs should be installing the Shopify Dev MCP.
github.com
Shopify.dev MCP server. Contribute to Shopify/dev-mcp development by creating an account on GitHub.
i'm over chatgpt, i’ve switched to claude for daily use. it’s just a better fit. even loaded it up with the @Shopify dev mcp.

Have you tried the Polaris Web Components yet? If not, you should.
I started integrating Polaris Web Components into one of my apps, and it's fantastic. Since my apps aren't React-based, I previously had to redesign every component to meet the BFS requirements. Now, it's so much easier. Huge thanks to @ShopifyDevs for making this possible!.

In case you missed it Functions now have access to retailLocation information in 2025-07. Excited to see all the new experiences partners will make for merchants/brands.
Did someone say Retail/POS specific discounts? No hacks, no tiles, just first class discounting on the @Shopify Point of Sale!

Anyone at @google who works on Docs, can you make it so that I can copy as markdown without encoding the images? I'm using an LLM and those are just wasteful tokens.

Glad to see the continued investments in Shopify Functions performance. Faster Functions = Faster Checkouts ⚡️ Migrating to Rust is easier than ever with the Dev MCP and the Dev Assistant. Have you tried it yet? @ShopifyDevs.
we’ve re-engineered Shopify discount functions within Kite, to now run on Rust. With this, we launch Custom Discounts 2.0. What does this mean for Kite users?. → enhanced control on discount campaigns.→ rock-solid stability.→ blazing-fast scalability- manage super high volumes

It’s awesome to see all the partners who have upgraded their Shopify Functions rust crate to the latest (1.1.0) version. I’m getting screenshots of Instruction count errors dramatically dropping.
