People always ask me what it's like working with tobi lutke. Here's Sam Altman's answer: he writes the software himself, he sends OpenAI more detailed product feedback than anyone else on earth, and he stays six to eight months ahead of every other CEO. Nothing in this clip surprised me. This is just what every day at Shopify looks like.

This. Just. Happened. Twitch's biggest streamer, Kai Cenat, opened a subscriber-only drop from TONE BY AMP, the brand he cofounded, in real time to 430,000+ fans. All they had to do was scan the QR code or hit the link. It's that easy. Sold out in under 5 min. Powered by Shopify.

Netflix House Dallas just opened. It’s not a store or a theme park. It’s a 100,000-square-foot world where entertainment and commerce are one. You walk through stranger things. You play Squid Game. The commerce isn't a separate step at the end. It’s part of the story. When the experience is this immersive, the technology has to be invisible. This is where Shopify POS comes in. Our mobile tech means the staff meet fans exactly where they are. No counters. No bottlenecks. Just a seamless flow. Netflix built the world. Shopify makes it shoppable. This is the future of retail.

15 million Jews out of 8 billion on the planet. And yet we punch way above our weight in almost every field. People credit grit. Work ethic. Generations of hardship. But I think it's simpler than that. Our secret weapon is Jewish mothers. Chutzpah. Confidence. Swagger. They hand it to you early. And to my own mom… thanks, I love you. Shabbat shalom. 🤍

My dad used to print me a business card every time I had a new business idea as a kid. It made me feel like a real entrepreneur. My daughter wants to start a lemonade stand. So I opened Tinker and made her a logo and business cards in minutes. From my phone. We built Tinker so anyone with an idea can start doing something with it. Go try it. This is awesome Rousseau Kazi

The Universal Commerce Protocol with Shopify Catalog is now open to every developer. Since we announced UCP in January, it’s been powering agentic commerce across some of the biggest AI platforms in the world. Now, new tools are available to anyone who wants to build a shopping experience. That means a solo developer has the same commerce layer as the largest tech companies on the planet. One protocol. Millions of merchants. Billions of products. And every new experience a developer builds? That's a win for merchants too. More places for people to discover and buy their products. Nothing to set up. Commerce that can show up anywhere, inside anything, built by anyone.
