Many of you may have noticed recent updates such as, "Did the Shop app videos disappear?" and "New payment options are increasing at POS!"
This Shopify update includes a wealth of changes aimed at enhancing operational efficiency, from the renewal of content features in the Shop app to expansion of POS payment options and improvements in inventory management.

Summary
This update was not just about adding new features,
but an evolution towards making "on-site operations more intuitive and smoother".
In the Shop app, communication through videos and posts has been restructured in a new way,
and in POS, practical features that support staff's daily operations, such as "Pay by Link" and "Quick Count," have increased.
Furthermore, with the addition of reports that accurately capture the profit margin of cross-border sales,
it has become possible to verify the "true revenue structure" that was previously hard to see through data.
These improvements are evidence that Shopify as a whole, both in-store and online, is evolving into a 'more practical platform.'
As an operator, please take a moment to review your store settings and POS app,
and make the most of these new features.
Moreover, the ongoing updates from Shopify,
hide significant hints even in small specification changes.
