DotDev was 🔥 today! We know there were some sessions that people wanted but couldn’t get into so we decided to do them again. Get the updates: dotdev.shopify.com/pages/ses…

The promise of stablecoins isn’t crypto for crypto’s sake. It’s giving merchants more ways to sell, get paid, and serve customers as payment preferences evolve. @Shopify is participating in Open Standard to help bring real commerce needs into how Open USD develops.
Introducing Open USD: a stablecoin built for the internet economy, designed by the businesses growing it.

This is so good. I gave my hermes a budget and now I’m getting ‘gifts’ in the mail. Highly recommended.
Payments team at Shopify has been on 🔥 with the recent Editions launch. Personal favourite is managed payment methods, where we'll re-order payment methods to increase conversion rates.

We get a lot of questions about why Shopify Payments are disabled after risk reviews, so I want to be direct about what we do, why we do it, and what the data shows.
We often hear "My chargeback rate is only X… why is Shopify acting on my store?"
While chargeback rates are one signal, fake reviews, buried subscription terms, products that never arrive – these are just a few of the other signals that trigger action. When buyers have to dispute a transaction from a merchant because they never shipped a product or the product was different from what was promised, the trust degrades in all independent businesses on Shopify.
We also closely look at when we get this wrong: 99.9% of merchants in good standing have never experienced a wrongful termination or rejection. In the rare cases we get it wrong, there is a defined escalation path, and we have invested in making it faster, more transparent, and more self-serve.
This is what it means to build a platform merchants and their buyers can trust. 👇
Shopify is excited to be a launching partner to the x402 foundation. Enabling agentic commerce for more merchants, buyers, and developers is central to Shopify's agentic product strategy.
Today, the Linux Foundation announced it is launching the x402 Foundation with the contribution of the x402 protocol from Coinbase. As the neutral home for x402, the Foundation will advance the x402 protocol and help enable community-based innovation in open payments.

Shopify 🤝 OpenAI
Starting this week, millions of @Shopify merchants can sell in ChatGPT, into the US.
Their PDP, their checkout, their customizations, no extra setup.
AI is a new front door to commerce. Shopify is what’s behind it everywhere.
Agentic commerce is here for all merchants.
With UCP, the new payment handler works respects merchant choice for payments. It works for cards (all payment gateways!), wallets, crypto, gift cards, loyalty programs, and so much more.
Shopify is building the foundation for agentic commerce.
Universal Commerce Protocol, which we co-developed with Google, is now live. UCP will make it faster for agents and retailers to integrate.
It’s open by default, so platforms and agents can use UCP to start transacting with any merchant. Major retailers are already using it.
Agents can handle everything from discovery to fulfillment, and support things like discounts, subscriptions, and loyalty programs. We’ve accounted for all types of commerce.
USDC on @base + @Shopify + @stripe significantly lowers the barrier for merchants to accept crypto payments. This is the next evolution of crypto for commerce, where stablecoins feel native to checkout and match how merchants manage their business.
Shopify will enable USDC (Stablecoins on @Base) in Checkout via Shopify Payments and Shop Pay. Early access starts today, roll out throughout the year.
We think that stablecoins are a natural way to transact on the Internet and worked with coinbase to develop the commerce payment protocol smart contract that powers this work
We got lottsss of new features released for payments developers. Reach out and build on the largest pqyments ecosystem in the world.

So proud to have worked on the new Payments Platform, announced at #ShopifyUnite. A massive investment in our partner ecosystem. $65B in payments from partners in the last year alone.

Shopify paid out more to partners for apps and referrals in last 12 months than in the previous 10 years combined! #ShopifyUnite – at Toronto, Ontario
So many exciting, new developer products launching at #ShopifyUnite. We are making it easier for app developers to create their own businesses on Shopify!
