Shopify's new admin design started rolling out recently, and Polaris 2.0 is now available as a release candidate for embedded apps.

I'm curious what other Shopify developers think about this. If you've already built a fairly large app using the existing Polaris components, are you planning to update everything to match the new design?

From what I've read in Shopify's docs, apps using Polaris Web Components can adopt the new styling by updating the version, but apps still using the old React components and custom UI will need more work to make everything consistent.

I'm building Loger, and with all the custom components and screens involved, this could be a pretty significant undertaking.

Are you planning to migrate now, wait until it's stable, or stick with the current UI for the time being?

Also curious if anyone has started the migration already. How much work has it actually been?

I'm retesting a Shopify app with a 14-day free trial. My dev store already has access to the paid plan, so I can test paid features, but that doesn't cover the trial countdown or the expiry transition.

For those using Shopify App Pricing, how do you make those tests repeatable? Separate dev stores, a shorter private test plan, or mocked subscription dates for the UI plus one real billing test?

I've read the trial proration docs, so I'm not assuming reinstalling resets the trial. Mostly looking for a practical way to test both sides of expiry without waiting two weeks each time.

Hi, does anyone have good advice for how to spend the free 100 USD for Shopify ads meaningfully? Mine are about to expire but I have no clue how to apply it strategic

ngl posting here is scarier than the marketing subs lol

DISCLOSURE, i'm on the Prehook team. it adds a "try it on" button to the PDP, shopper uploads a selfie, gets an image of themselves wearing the product

stuff id actually love dev opinion on:
what would you need to see before putting this on a client store?

a try-on takes about 5s at what point does the wait kill it on mobile?

data goes out via klaviyo sync + csv export. would you want anything else exposed? webhooks, meatafields?

roast away lol, rather hear it here than in a one star review

I got a US client whose Shopify website I have to edit and make it look structured, he's even ready to buy me Claude code subscription,any recommendations guys as I'm new in Shopify website development so can you suggest any tutorials or tips for making his website, moreover he also asked me generate ugc vids for his products showcasing so help me out guys!

Hey guys, have you ever tried generating sections using sidekick or any other llm/AI model?

Which one works best?

Is there any figma, photo, video to section Generator?

Assuming two apps solve the client's problem equally well, do you ever look at their partner programs when deciding which one to recommend?I've never really factored this in before, but some apps seem to offer almost nothing while others have recurring partner programs.

Obviously the client fit comes first, but I'm wondering how many developers or consultants consider the partner economics when the products are otherwise comparable.

Receiving these kinds of emails pretty often, are these scams ?
