Sustainability: The Future of Fast Fashion

Fast fashion faces an urgent transformation:

- Emphasis on circular cycles and giving products a second life.
- Responsible consumption strategies to engage conscious consumers.
- Sustainability is no longer optional; it is a market expectation.

Regional Perspective: Opportunities in Latin America

In Latin America, success depends on identity and value proposition, rather than competing on volume:

- In Argentina, 90% of cotton is exported, with 60% going to Asia, directly affecting costs.
- Local brands need to focus on experience and differentiation.

Conclusion: Is Your Brand Ready for the Future of Fashion?

Tecnomoda 2025 delivers a clear message: the future of fashion is digital, sustainable, and tech-driven. Personalization, efficiency, and transparency will be decisive in winning the modern consumer.

💡 The key question for all brands: Are you ready to adapt to this new paradigm, or will you be left behind by outdated models?

Turning boring into bonkers: Inside the design process of Winter '25 Edition

Turning boring into bonkers: Inside the design process of Winter '25 Edition

Every six months, we ship a new Shopify Edition, a fresh version of Shopify that celebrates our latest launches and updates. This Edition is different. We’re not releasing new products. Instead, we’re improving the features merchants and developers already know and love. We made them faster, more performant, and unified with the rest of Shopify. These updates are in direct response to what merchants tell us they need to run their businesses. We called it boring. It’s anything but. The Winter ’25 Edition site leans into boring in a fresh and creative way—built by a team empowered to push the boundaries of Shopify’s platform. Here’s how they did it. Anything but boring Because Shopify made the bold choice to improve existing features, this posed a creative problem: there was nothing new or flashy to anchor the story. Instead of doing the expected, the team tackled boring head on. “Great software should be so elegant that it frictionlessly supports your experience of using it every single day,” says design director Maggie Fost. The team took inspiration from the roots of basic web design (think Craigslist) to present boring updates in the simplest way. But Shopify is anything but boring. To demonstrate this side of the brand, her team created an alternate universe. Toggling to non-boring on the site, updates are now presented in technicolor: weird, wonderful, and powered by AI.  These opposites represent two truths about Shopify: software that’s invisible in its elegance—and the wild, limitless ambition of the people behind it. This potent combination means the possibilities are endless for those who build on Shopify.  “We're being exactly who we are and pushing the technical chops as far as we can,” says product marketing director Emma Horner. “There's something that feels really right and exciting about that.” The tech that ties it together The creative team used Midjourney to create images to inspire each video before bringing on other tools to layer in script, sound, and motion. “We're getting better at making these videos by leveraging the limitations of the technology to make it funny,” says Maggie. The resulting 150+ videos are bizarre in the best way. “I love that this is imperfect technology,” says Maggie. “The outputs feel goofy in a way that I hope we laugh about a year from now.” Cutting-edge technology was employed at every step—including Shopify’s own. Each of the last four Editions were built as Hydrogen stores, a fact that’s been relatively invisible until now. This time around, site visitors can actually buy a product right on the Edition site, checking out with Shopify. Teamwork 🤝 dreamwork Every aspect of the Boring Edition was created in-house. From design through development—including motion design, content, and marketing—this project represents the value Shopify places on experimentation. “This work is a testament to having a nimble team that’s leaning all the way forward,” says Maggie. Each Edition’s ideation process sees concepts move quickly from visual ideas into real prototypes. This is only possible with developers embedded on the team. It’s the only way for the team to fully understand how the experience will land. This Edition was no different. In fact, the team did more prototyping than usual to understand how the far-out nature of the concept could work.  This Easter egg was created in an early prototype: hovering over the letters in "boring" reveals those letters within the content, with a sound effect. “Boring is a theme that isn’t without risk,” Emma says. “It felt really important that we land it properly.”  Despite this integration of multiple skillsets working together to bring each Edition to life, the team is small and tight-knit. That way, everyone is confidently building toward a shared vision, with key stakeholders looped in at strategic times.  “I'm extremely intentional about fostering the right habitat and culture for this kind of creativity,” says Maggie. “It sometimes means the door to our virtual studio is closed so the team can take risks without interruption. Sometimes the work has to be bad before it’s good.” Creativity unleashed Boring wouldn’t have been possible had it been constrained by too many parameters. “The direction from day one was basically, ‘Fuck around and find out,’” says Emma. “There are no rules in this game other than build something incredible that’s valuable to merchants.” Of course the project still had goals. It needed to convey that Shopify is innovating fast to bring value to merchants. It demanded accessibility and flashes of delight. And, it had to feel truly of the moment. “I want whatever we make in December 2024 to be something we would not have been able to make in June of 2024,” says Maggie. “We are very lucky to have not just room to take risks but a mandate to take risks,” says Maggie. Ultimately the true creative potential of the team is realized with the fewest parameters possible. Meet Boring Despite having a lean team and ever-evolving inputs, the bar has been raised. “We are an enormously creative company that empowers people to take big swings,” says Maggie. Explore the Winter ’25 Edition to discover 150+ updates, some unexpected surprises, and a visual feast—all built on Shopify.

How an AI Recommendation System Can Increase Sales

How an AI Recommendation System Can Increase Sales

Is there anything more powerful than a word-of-mouth recommendation? When a trusted friend suggests a new book or skin care brand, you know they’ve got your best interest at heart—and understand you better than just about anyone. But what if you had a friend with nearly infinite information about the things you love? Their recommendations would be laser-focused, perfectly matching your needs and desires. That’s the promise of an AI recommendation system.  Ecommerce stores can leverage artificial intelligence to analyze user data and deliver more relevant recommendations. For many businesses, an AI recommendation system may be the boost your sales and marketing teams need—and it’s all automated. Click here to start selling online now with Shopify What is an AI recommendation system? An AI recommendation system—also known as a recommendation engine—uses machine learning algorithms to suggest relevant products, services, or content to potential customers online.  AI recommendation systems collect and analyze data points like demographics, a user’s past behavior (reviews, ratings, search history, past purchases) and product attributes, creating personalized recommendations. A wide range of industries—entertainment, finance, marketing, and ecommerce—use AI-powered recommendation engines. For example, an ecommerce merchant might rely on an AI recommendation system to display data-driven suggestions to site visitors. Gymshark’s recommendation engine, for instance, recommends products based on customers with similar interests. Source: Gymshark Shopify Magic Shopify Magic makes it easier to start, run, and grow your business. Our groundbreaking commerce-focused AI empowers entrepreneurs like you to be more creative, productive, and successful than ever before. AI designed for commerce How an AI recommendation system can increase your sales A good AI-powered recommendation system can personalize your online store experience, driving repeat purchases and higher satisfaction. Nearly half of US shoppers in 2023 wanted personalized product recommendations, and 56% of customers reported returning to a merchant after a customized shopping experience. By personalizing the shopping experience, AI recommendation systems can also increase customer retention and improve the overall customer experience. Key benefits include: Streamlined discovery. The system surfaces highly relevant choices, so customers don’t have to scroll endless to find items they want. Higher average order value. “Customers also bought” or “Frequently bought together” sections on your checkout page can encourage upsells and cross-sells, increasing average order value and boosting revenue. Enhanced customer loyalty. A faster, more personalized experience as a result of an AI recommendations system keeps shoppers coming back.     Types of AI recommendation systems Content-based filtering Collaborative filtering Hybrid filtering You can generate personalized recommendations for potential customers using one of three main types of AI recommendation systems: Content-based filtering An AI recommendation system using content-based filtering algorithms makes recommendations based on the specific characteristics (features, categories, descriptions) of items a user already likes, rather than what other users do. By analyzing product metadata using data filtering, an AI recommendation system can recommend items with similar attributes to those a shopper has previously engaged with. This works particularly well for niche markets with a limited customer base. You may not have a lot of customer reviews or interactions on your site, but if you have sufficient product information, you can use a content-based filtering system to make recommendations instead. For example, the Shopcast app uses content-based filtering to make recommendations based on similar product features. Collaborative filtering Collaborative filtering predicts a user’s preferences based on the behavior of similar users. Collaborative filtering systems may consider browsing history, purchase history, or ratings. This type of recommendation engine suggests products it thinks you’ll like based on customer data from shoppers with similar tendencies. For example, a clothing brand might recommend a new clothing line to a particular user based on recent fashion purchases of users with similar tastes.  As opposed to content-based filtering, collaborative filtering is useful for suggesting items not directly related to products the user has viewed but that similar customers have purchased. For example, Also Bought is an AI-powered recommendation system that recommends products that are commonly purchased alongside items in a customer’s cart. Hybrid filtering Hybrid recommendation systems combine collaborative and content-based filtering to recommend relevant content, products, and services to users. For example, hybrid systems could predict the type of cookware that might interest a customer based on what other users with similar preferences have chosen, and specific content-based connections in product features, materials, or sizes.  By collecting data about similarities between users and content-based factors like product descriptions, a hybrid recommendation system combines multiple filtering methods to get a highly informed and personalized recommendation. Popular AI recommendation engines typically rely on a hybrid approach, applying both collaborative and content-based filtering. For example, the FT: Frequently Bought Togethertool creates automatic product recommendations based on user behavior and real-time order data.

Shopify Flow: Intelligent Automation to Grow Your Business

Shopify Flow: Intelligent Automation to Grow Your Business

In the world of e-commerce, the ability to customize and automate processes is key to scaling your business efficiently. Shopify Flow is a powerful tool that allows you to do just that: automate tasks and workflows within your Shopify store. In this article, we’ll dive into the benefits and features of Shopify Flow, as well as key considerations when using this powerful automation tool. What is Shopify Flow? Shopify Flow is an automation platform that lets you customize your store’s operations through powerful workflows. It helps you streamline repetitive tasks and make data-driven decisions based on specific events. If you want to enhance efficiency and free up time to focus on high-impact strategies, Shopify Flow is the perfect solution. How does Shopify Flow work? Shopify Flow is built around extensions, which include: ⚡ Triggers: Events that start a workflow (e.g., a new order is placed). ✅ Conditions: Rules that determine if an action should be executed (e.g., checking if an order total exceeds $200). 🔧 Actions: Tasks that Shopify Flow executes when conditions are met (e.g., adding a tag to a customer’s account for orders over $200). By selecting and configuring these elements, you can create custom workflows that optimize and streamline your business processes effortlessly. What Can You Create with Shopify Flow? With Shopify Flow, you can develop both triggers and actions for your users: Triggers activate a workflow based on an event. Actions execute specific tasks as part of the workflow. For users to leverage your custom triggers and actions, they must have your app installed and be on a Shopify plan that includes Shopify Flow. This ensures they can fully benefit from the automation capabilities your app provides. Making Changes to Triggers or Actions 🔄 When modifying triggers or actions, consider whether your changes might disrupt existing workflows. Significant changes (e.g., renaming or removing a field) should be handled by creating a new version and hiding the previous one. Minor changes (e.g., updating a description or modifying an optional field) can be made directly without breaking workflows. To prevent issues, you can update a task instead of modifying a trigger/action directly. Hiding the old version and launching a new one allows for seamless updates without disruptions.
