About Shopify
Shopify keeps bolting analytics dimensions and audit trails onto the admin.
Shopify's recent shipping is maintenance-grade platform work: new metafield surfaces, more Analytics dimensions, and audit logs across POS and app pixels. None of it changes what Shopify is, but together it deepens the data model merchants and app developers build on. The pace is steady and broad rather than headline-driven.
