The e-commerce platform https://www.shopify.com/ is starting a twice-per-year collection of product releases and dev tool updates, called https://www.shopify.com/editions. In an interview with The New Stack, Shopify’s Director of Product Management https://theorg.com/org/shopify/org-chart/david-moellenkamp says the goal is to make the relationship between developers and merchants as frictionless as possible.

In order to keep the union between the two fruitful, it’s vital that updates to the platform cater to the developer experience while also offering new functionality for merchants and users.

Shopify’s next API will include updated criteria for apps to protect customer data. It won’t be released until October 2022, but developers and users should be paying attention to the warnings of stricter requirements.
