Shopify Summer Editions ’25: What’s new?

Shopify just dropped their Summer ‘25 Editions, and this time, it’s all about better UX for both you and your customers. From a slicker editor to smarter analytics, here’s what’s new.

A much improved editor

• A simplified sidebar that only shows what’s relevant
• Custom names for blocks and sections
• Hover-to-preview in the block picker
• More interactive product cards for richer browsing
• Copy + paste entire blocks and sections in seconds

Less faff, more flow. This update makes building and managing pages way more intuitive—especially if your site has a lot going on.

Speed improvements

Smarter, faster admin loading

Your admin panel now loads up to 30% faster. Plus, the loading indicators are more context-aware, so you only see them when you actually need to.

Checkout that doesn’t slow people down

Customers can now start checking out almost 2 seconds faster. Doesn’t sound like much? It is—especially when conversions are on the line.

Analytics that dig a little deeper

New web performance reports

Get granular with page-level insights to help you optimise for Core Web Vitals. Diagnose performance issues like a pro and tighten up your site speed where it counts.

More features in the new analytics dashboard

The updated experience includes benchmarks and a new Customer Cohort Analysis report—making it easier to spot patterns and make smarter marketing decisions.

Discounts that do more with less effort

One code, multiple savings

Use a single discount code across products, orders and shipping—supported by select discount apps. Fewer codes, more convenience.

Discount code entry in cart

Let shoppers enter their promo codes right in the cart, removing friction before they hit checkout.

Store credit has arrived!

Refund directly to store credit

No matter the original payment method, you can now issue refunds as store credit from within the admin.

Store credit now works with Shop

Customers can see and use their credit (and loyalty points) in the Shop app and during Shop Pay checkout. A smoother loyalty experience, built in.

Use Liquid to show store credit

Want to highlight available credit in marketing emails or on-site? Now you can—directly in Liquid.

Other handy updates worth knowing

More flexible Apple Pay

Offer Apple Pay while supporting custom checkout flows. Seamless payments and bespoke experiences? Yes please.

A better ‘Thank you’ and Order Status page setup

Get a tailored upgrade guide that helps you enhance post-purchase pages without breaking your current setup.

Expanded automated tax filing

Shopify Tax now supports automated filing for more channels—including Shop, Facebook, and Instagram—making sales tax management that little bit easier.
