  • Shopify just made B2B more accessible across its platform, bringing native wholesale tools like company profiles, tailored pricing, volume discounts, quantity rules, and payment terms to more merchants. For wholesale brands, this means fewer apps or workarounds, smoother ordering, and a more unified buying experience. And when you pair these native B2B tools with Empire, you get a storefront built for large catalogs, fast navigation, quick add, and efficient reordering: baked-in theme features that wholesale buyers need when they already know what they want. If you’re building a wholesale storefront on Shopify, the combination of native B2B features and a theme designed for scale is worth a serious look.

    Keeping that secret was well worth the wait! 🤐 rePete is here! If you're selling consumables on Shopify (think health and wellness, beauty, food and beverage, pet food, and supplies), rePete is the perfect fit for your business. We all have products we use routinely (coffee, electrolytes, sunscreen, dog food, etc.) but don't want to subscribe to. Rather than waiting until you've run out and are in a pinch, let rePete do the work. 💪 Customers love the convenience, and Shopify brands love that it's helping them get more one-time customers to buy again, buy more frequently, and spend more when they do. Plus, rePete is 100% commission-based, meaning he only gets paid if he makes you money. If you're selling on Shopify, go get in line now to try it out now, or send me a message to learn more! repete.me Some favourite brands I'd love to see using rePete 🫶 ERLY, Supergoop!, Drink LMNT, Perelel, rhode skin, LolaVie, Homecourt, Grove Collaborative, DIBS Beauty, Saie, Saje Natural Wellness...who am I missing!

    Excited to be joining so many Shopify experts at DTC Wine Symposium in Monterey 🍇 Over the past few months, I’ve been working closely with wine experts, operators, sommeliers, agencies and the broader Shopify ecosystem - and one thing became obvious: Wine brands don’t need generic ecommerce features. They need the right stack, built by people who actually understand how wine is sold. That’s exactly why we built Vino, a white-glove Shopify storefront solution for wine brands, combining the storefront with the apps + services needed to support real-world wine operations. If you’re working with wineries and attending the symposium, I’d love to connect!

  • LAFABLIGHT is a French lighting brand that celebrates slow design, craftsmanship, and natural materials 💡 Each light fixture is made with care in their Normandy workshop using eco-responsible components and timeless techniques. Their Shopify store reflects these same values of balance, simplicity, and authenticity. By choosing our Editions theme, LAFABLIGHT found a design that complements their artisanal identity. The theme’s clean, modular layout gives their product photography space to shine while maintaining a refined sense of order. It allows their storytelling, from the process of weaving and assembling each light to the natural textures of their materials, to unfold naturally throughout the site. The flexibility of Editions also supports the brand’s emphasis on sustainability and transparency. Visitors can explore collections, learn about craftsmanship, and move seamlessly from inspiration to purchase, whether browsing on mobile or desktop. It’s a smooth, editorial shopping experience that reflects the care and quality behind every light. We love seeing how brands like LAFABLIGHT use Editions to bring their story to life online.
