Meet Raj, one of our web developers 👋

Raj's favourite movie is Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara, and much of his life centres around football.

"I create my plans based on when Manchester United plays. No Plan on game day.😆🙈"

If I were him, I'd probably make plans precisely for when Man U were playing. Nobody should be put through that.

Happy New Year! 🎆

However you're spending this holiday season, we hope it's with love, joy and laughter❤️

Happy holidays from our team to your family 😊

We're a bit bored of talking about mobile app stats, so we thought we'd get the crayons out 🎨

The soup is your sales (mmm, tasty) and your mobile website is the fork.

Sure, it's managing to collect a bit of money-strone, but most of it's slipping through the gaps 🍲

If your goal is to get soup to your mouth, the fork works. It's going to be frustrating, get stains on your new white shirt, and lose more soup than it collects - but sure, it does collect soup.

If your goal is to get as much soup as possible, however, you need a spoon.

A spoon is a mobile app - and look at all that lovely liquid it's collecting 😍

No mess, no fuss, just pure soup-to-mouth action.

So if you want to stop all that forking frustration and souper-charge your Shopify sales today, click through the link below 👇

"All orders made through [Shopify] over the Black Friday Cyber Monday shopping weekend will ship carbon neutral.

Here's how it works: A rigorous formula built by Shopify data scientists calculates the estimated carbon emissions for each Black Friday Cyber Monday shipment. We then team up with Shopify Sustainability Fund partners to remove CO2 emissions equal to the BFCM shipping footprint.

The result? You can ensure carbon-neutral shipping on all of your BFCM orders."

Once again you can keep your store eco-friendly this Black Friday Cyber Monday 👏🌳

"We’ve been using this app building extension for a while now from Store Lab & the service these guys provide us is absolutely brilliant.

They are always on hand & do their utmost to help you achieve the design requirements for your app.

We made the perfect playlist to get into that weekend Shopify grind-set 🧠🔥

Meet Christine, our Product Manager 🙂👋

Christine's favourite fact is that cats can learn to p*e in the toilet, which means most men's toilets in London are frequented by dogs, she's a big Postie fan (the musical artist, not the profession), and her favourite movie is 13 going on 30.

We can't all be blessed with good taste.

Why are you surprising me with hidden costs right at the end 😨

Jack was just a simple farmer; working in the fields, scaring the crows away.

On the side, he ran a Shopify store called Jack Oh's Lanterns, selling expertly carved pumpkins to happy customers around the world.

But one day, Jack noticed something wasn't quite right...

He found carts filled to the brim with his handcrafted lanterns, but then left as if the customer was never there at all.

The more he looked, the more carts he found, and the more uneasy he began to feel...

This October, we're bringing you the scariest story we could think of: The Abandoned Cart 👻🎃😱

And the worst part? It's based on a true story...

Meet Akram, one of our Senior Android Developers 📲👋

A few other facts about Akram:

His favourite song is Chaiyya Chaiyya from Dil Se.. (an early Shah Rukh Khan classic), and if he had to pick any superpower, he'd pick "shape-shifting and hypnotic abilities like the Skrull's in Captain Marvel."

I'm now questioning whether we've ever meet the true Akram or not 🤔

On Tuesday, our CEO gave a presentation on the 10 key principles of good management, deciding to use specific moments from the Lord of the Rings trilogy to explain each point.

Incidentally, Gollum is showing how some of the team felt about that decision.

Meet Sam 👋

Sam is one of our co-founders as well as being our CTO 😊

A self-confessed music-nerd, proven by the fact he wrote a short novel when asked what his favourite artist is:

"Oooof, it changes all the time. Hard to pick an electronic music artist as there are so many genres that suit my current mood plus all of the variations within them (nerd).

In terms of bands I'd go with Little Dragon, Hiatus Kaiyote, SAULT (big up Cleo Sol), Herbie Hancock (and that whole jazz scene) and Radiohead (throw back I know).

I'll keep it simple and give you two songs, one sunshine and one club, from my recent Liked Songs: Feeling You, Feeling Me by Alicia Keys. Red Tuna by Vromm"

He's also 1/3 of the band Lazy H, avid Zelda enthusiast, and clearly has quite the potty mouth, so only look at the last slide after 9pm 😬

Thanks, Apple Health. Very cool 👍

Did you know? 🤔

40% of customers buy more of a brand’s products after downloading their e-commerce app.

More customers, more conversions, and a higher average order value simply from improving your mobile experience 📲
