Coordinating thousands of influencers simultaneously sounds like a logistical nightmare—but not for Nicki Minaj's Pink Friday Nails. Pink Friday Nails uses Shopify Collabs, an app that enables brands and influencers to easily connect, manage collaborations, and handle payments, all within Shopify. Three ways Shopify Collabs simplifies the process: 1️⃣ No more spreadsheets: Forget about the endless Excel files. Everything from recruiting to generating discount codes is managed directly within the app. 2️⃣ Automatic payouts: Collabs takes care of all financial details, giving brands peace of mind that creator commissions are paid out automatically. 3️⃣ Streamlined gifting: Collabs simplifies large-scale gifting efforts, and gives creators the flexibility to personalize their gifts. Pink Friday Nails can present a variety of nail set styles to creators, who can then choose a gift that excites them to share with their audience. Want to learn more about Collabs?

The "sell everywhere" approach is outdated. It's not about being everywhere; it's about being in the right places for your audience. That was the takeaway from Harley Finkelstein’s conversation with Kat Cole and Sara Foster at National Retail Federation. More on what it means to organically integrate your brand into customers’ lives ⬇️
We are living in a post-omnichannel world. When I look at the most important brands and entrepreneurs on the planet and how they're finding success, they're not selling everywhere. They're selling in the right locations for their particular demographic. I was just at National Retail Federation and there was a lot of talk about ‘selling everywhere.’ But omnichannel implies selling everywhere for the sake of being everywhere. To win in retail today, you need to be everywhere… [and this is an important caveat] that makes sense. Five years ago, everyone was talking about omnichannel. If you’re still talking about becoming an omnichannel business today, you’re behind. Omnichannel emphasized the importance of having multiple channels but… those channels typically weren’t connected. The future of commerce has no channels at all. It's an invisible thread woven seamlessly through every aspect of consumers' lives. The old world was about being everywhere; the new world is about being exactly where your customer needs you, exactly when they need you, in a way that feels completely organic. To do that, you need to remove the toil of a legacy technology system. That starts with a unified core platform so you can do what you’re best at in a more meaningful way. If you look at the hierarchy of needs of large brands, you need the operations to flow smoothly, and then you can focus on strategic innovation. When everything flows together and your platform is unified, you can ruthlessly focus on building what will set you apart. That’s how you change the game in business. Look at a brand like Favorite Daughter. They do not sell on every single channel. What they do have is an incredible ecosystem that makes sense for their customers. The person who listens to the co-founder’s podcast, World’s First Podcast, is the same person who watches their hit Netflix show, Nobody Wants This, which features clothes from their clothing brand Favorite Daughter. This is the same person who goes to their website and buys the clothes, and who follows them on social media… where they are regularly trying on the clothes and showing the products that are launching. A show, a podcast, a clothing brand, Instagram selling doesn’t make sense for every brand but it makes sense for their brand and their customer. If you’re building in retail today don’t think about trying to be on every channel possible - think about where your customer is and go there.

The new edge in commerce? Not going it alone. Smart brands are winning through collaboration. Last year, we saw a 300% increase in retailers using Shopify Collective—a tool that allows merchants to sell products from other Shopify stores within their own store without the hassle or cost of managing additional inventory. Here are 3 ways merchants are scaling their businesses with Collective: → Adapting to a new generation of shoppers: Legacy brands can partner with emerging designers to curate fresh product selections. buybuy BABY, a 30-year old one-stop shop for new parents, uses Collective to partner with smaller, trendy babycare brands, onboarding new suppliers on the site in as little as 24 hours. → Breaking into international markets: For smaller brands, Collective offers a gateway to new markets without the overwhelming barriers of logistics, finance, and market access. Powered by People (PBP), a B2B retailer, leverages Collective to curate unique, small-batch products, connecting independent artisans in remote regions with the United States market. → Tapping into the creator community: Stage TEN, a live shopping platform, uses Collective to enable creators to sell products during their live streams. Stage TEN created a unified shop with products from different merchants, giving creators the flexibility to feature products from multiple brands.

The Winter '25 Edition may be boring. The site design is anything but. In “boring” mode, product updates are presented in their simplest form, while “not boring” mode (aka Boring TV) offers an AI-powered channel for each one. A few more fun facts about the site: → Boring TV has a QR code-activated mobile remote. → Every Shopify Edition has been built as a Hydrogen store, but this is the first one to let it show. Visitors can buy a Boring t-shirt right on the site, using Shopify checkout. → We drew inspiration from the roots of basic web design for the site’s “boring” mode. → The images that inspired each Boring TV video were created with Midjourney. → It’s full of Easter eggs. For example: call The Boring Edition hotline or hover over the letters in B-o-r-i-n-g. More from the team behind the design: https://lnkd.in/gPA8USj2

From concert stages to checkout pages, the power of Taylor Swift’s reputation is undeniable. Today on her 35th birthday, we’re celebrating the Taylor Swift effect and the impact it had for small businesses and local economies this year. → Fans spent on average $1,300 each on travel, hotels, food, merch & costumes during The Eras Tour. → According to the New York Times, The Eras Tour grossed more than $2 billion, aka the highest grossing tour ever. → Swift's global economic impact from The Eras Tour is estimated to be up to $28 billion. And much of that trickled down to independent businesses. Case in point: One brand POPFLEX saw a +1,661% increase in sales for their skort after Taylor wore it this year—it’s even rumored to have inspired a lyric in her recent album. Another fashion brand Little Lies was flooded with pre-orders after Taylor was spotted in one of their dresses. Read about the brands who know “all too well” the power of Taylor Swift’s influence. https://lnkd.in/eakSdqps

The Winter ’25 Edition has arrived. And it’s boring. Every six months, we publish a rundown of everything we’ve built in Editions. Usually, this includes big, flashy product announcements. Not this time. This Edition isn’t about being flashy. It's about making sure everything on Shopify just works. Features that didn’t work together are integrated. Products in early access are rolling out to more merchants. Developers have more surfaces to build. It’s The Boring Edition: https://lnkd.in/gpryFNFJ
