Matt emailed asking about Shopify backups after having a bad experience with apps editing image urls: I'd like to know how to make a full back up of my entire Shopify store in case it breaks and I need to reinstall everything. Except for the theme backup, Shopify doesn't really...
I've been wheelbarrowing loads of wood chips to our garden. On the first trip I noticed the wheelbarrow bouncing around oddly and being difficult to steer. I checked the tire and it wasn't punctured but there was almost no air in it. Five minutes and a bike pump later, it...

These new Insights will compare your Shopify store's performance in specific dates to how...
With the sale of JSON-LD for SEO to Ilana Davis, I've been able to refocus on my Repeat Customer Insights app. Transferring and training took awhile, which we both knew going into it. But now that's done, I'm finding a lot more headspace to think through the remaining changes I...
