New shopping experiences are being invented in real time. And one thing they all have in common: the world’s best checkout is how you buy.
Shop Pay is everywhere commerce happens. ⚡️
Instinct + Shopify
35% of our users use Instinct for personal shopping. Today, we’re partnering with @Shopify to bring product discovery, checkout and order updates into one conversation.
Shopping is a creative and personal experience. Your Instinct knows your sizes, the brands you like, and what you’ve bought, kept or returned. When you ask for something, Instinct understands the details that matter, from who a gift is for to when you need it to arrive.
Instinct can now search Shopify’s merchant network for products, and find live information on prices, sizes and availability. When you’re ready to buy, Instinct sets up your order with the store so you can check out with Shop Pay using your saved payment and shipping details.
Whether you’re searching for a thoughtful gift, researching big-ticket items, or restocking household essentials, the new experience helps you:
- Discover and compare products across brands, with up-to-date pricing and availability
- Check out with Shop Pay using your saved details
- Receive price-drop and back-in-stock notifications for your favorite items
- Stay on top of delivery updates and return-window reminders
- Access automatic discounts and promo codes tied to your Shop account
"We had a wonderful run chiseling that code by hand."
@dhh captures it beautifully; grateful for the past, clear-eyed about the future - exactly the perspective we need right now.
It's pencils down, people. Writing code by hand is no longer an economically viable skill for most programmers at most companies. But the future of making software has never been brighter. Don't you dare black pill this beautiful moment! youtu.be/vDjW_dRyKXY?si=6Fsf…
Two launches worth celebrating: @canadagoose is live on @Shopify, and Shop Pay just landed on @Muse. 🚀
Commerce 🤝 culture.
Now excuse me while I go make some financially irresponsible outerwear decisions.
If anyone needs a @Muse invite code, SUHAAR will get you 1 billion tokens

AI has collapsed the cost of building products, but not the cost of knowing what to build.
- The old loop: spec, scope, build
- The new loop: build, play, design, ship
Prototypes are cheap. Great products still require taste, judgment, and a clear understanding of what users actually need.

Very blessed that Luke and Noah know and have a relationship with Coach Manu. This story captures well his heart for building into kids and preparing them for what is to come both on and off the field.
@LedesmaAcademy is a truly hidden gem
⚽ More than an academy — it’s about building a pathway. Manu Ledesma @LedesmaAcademy is creating opportunities for young players in Cincinnati to grow, compete, and see what’s possible through the game.

Remarkable statistic:
Prior to Western Michigan, college football teams were 110,352 - 0 when leading after the end of regulation, dating back to 1869.

Look at those faces. 😄🧡💙
There’s a special kind of happiness that only soccer can bring — the smiles, the energy, the friendships, and that excitement of stepping onto the field and being part of a team.
Come for the deep, meaningful work surrounded by some of the brightest crafters in the world.
Stay for the moments like this.

Today, among the goods that are universally intended for everyone, we must also include new forms of property, such as patents, algorithms, digital platforms, technological infrastructure and data. In a context where the wealth of nations depends increasingly on knowledge and technology, when these goods remain concentrated in the hands of a few, without adequate forms of sharing and access, a new imbalance is created that contradicts the universal destination of goods. In turn, it widens the gap between the included and the excluded, between those who can participate in the digital revolution and those who remain on the margins. #MagnificaHumanitas
Galen says it right. Being at @Shopify feels like being in Florence during the Renaissance. Access to the inspiration, talent, tools and opportunity.
We’re hiring across so many roles (myself personally for a product manager).
Don’t stay in the dark ages.
It’s a great era to be part of @Shopify! We’re doing genuinely impactful work—with the potential to transform businesses and communities and lives that I never could have achieved running my own agency. And these principles apply as much to brands as they do to us at Shopify.
