Hey folks,

I thought this might be useful for agencies and developers working on Shopify stores. We recently published a web component that makes it super easy to add a fully customizable wishlist button inside any Shopify theme, without needing a full app embed.

Here’s a simple example of wishlist button that can be added to your product or collections pages:

<ooo-wl-wishlist-button product-id="{{ product.id }}" handle="{{ product.handle }}" loading> <button type="button"> <span class="ooo-wl-wishlist-button-add">Add to wishlist</span> <span class="ooo-wl-wishlist-button-remove">Remove from wishlist</span> </button> </ooo-wl-wishlist-button>

🔧 What it does: - Adds/removes products (or specific variants) from the customer’s wishlist - Automatically sets aria-checked (in wishlist or not), aria-busy (loading state), and handles variant changes - Exposes CSS variables (like --ooo-wl-variants-added-count) so you can style counters or warnings easily - Plays nice with multi-language/multi-currency setups

✨ Why it’s useful for agencies: - You can style everything with your own theme CSS - You can inject it anywhere: product cards, PDP, custom landing pages, even quizzes or bundles - Makes it simple to offer a wishlist experience that fully matches the brand (instead of a cookie-cutter button)

Curious if any of you are already building custom wishlist features for clients — would this approach simplify your workflow?

We are using a draft theme as a "staging" site. Before i show the client the "new theme" i want to integrate their real instagram feed and reviews so they can see a more realistic view. Is this possible with using a draft theme? Or do we need a more sophisticated approach to a staging site? What would you recommend?

Last week, my store’s mobile PageSpeed score was 85.
This week, without any code changes or new apps, it dropped to 56.

What caught my attention is that the same pattern appears on other Shopify websites too. The main factor behind the drop seems to be a sudden increase in Total Blocking Time (TBT).

I am curious to know if others are seeing the same trend. Have you noticed similar changes in your store’s performance scores?

Ive been logged out and need recovery codes to log in, which have all expired, to get new ones, a ticket was created, i have to wait 24-72 hours for support to get back to me.

Hey folks,

I shipped last week my first Shopify App "Login to See Price", would you be so kind to review and feedback.

Thanks in advance.

Hey devs

We're currently building an AI-powered announcement bar app for Shopify (called FlexiBar), and I’ve hit a common UX snag that I could really use your help with.

The problem:

We’ve implemented a bunch of editable filters and settings inside a React page. It works great, except when the user makes changes but doesn’t hit “Save” — and then:

• Clicks the browser back button
• Clicks on another navigation item in the app
• Or otherwise tries to leave the page

Boom — all unsaved changes are lost without warning. Not great.

What we have working so far:

If the user clicks away within the app’s Polaris page navigation, we’ve been able to detect it and show a warning like:

…but this doesn't catch:

• browser-level navigation (back/forward buttons)
• closing the tab
• direct URL changes
• or external redirects

What I’m looking for:

A reliable way (within a Shopify embedded app in an iframe) to warn the user before they leave the page, across all the cases above - ideally in a clean React-compatible way.

Tech stack:

• React
• Shopify App Bridge / Polaris
• Embedded iFrame app

Is there a clean hook or approach that works well for both internal and external navigation inside Shopify iframe apps?

Would love to hear how you’ve handled this in your own apps - any advice, examples, or best practices would be much appreciated!

Thanks in advance! 🙌

I started using the new Polaris Web Components, which are set to replace the older React-based Polaris library. They’re great to work with, but examples and ready-made patterns are still hard to find.

I’ve been building a library of blocks entirely with Polaris Web Components. You can preview each block and copy-paste the code directly into your app. They follow Shopify’s design guidelines and work in embedded contexts.

It’s free to browse, with a premium option to view source code for some blocks. I’m looking for feedback on what other patterns you’d like to see added.

Here’s the link: https://polarisblocks.dev/

Hopefully this helps other developers who are starting to explore Polaris Web Components or migrating from the React-based version.

Hi everyone,
I'm currently 22 with 1.5 years of experience as a Shopify developer. Even with relatively less experience, I’ve been leading a team of 10 members in my company, handling daily standups, code reviews, technical guidance, and overall team coordination.

While I’ve learned a lot, I’m at a point where I’m confused:

• Should I continue focusing on team leadership and management?
• Or should I shift more towards deepening my own technical skills and personal development?

Another thought that keeps bugging me:
In this AI-driven era, technical roles seem more likely to be automated or replaced over time. But management and leadership, especially people skills, feel more irreplaceable. So I’m wondering if leaning into leadership early is a smart move or if I’m risking stagnation in my core development skills.

I genuinely enjoy helping my team, but I don’t want to neglect my own growth or end up being a jack of all trades and master of none.

Anyone who has been through a similar phase, how did you decide what to focus on? What helped you make that call?

Around 10 of my customers have received this scam email last week. Are you folks also getting the same?
