100% agree on this. This is the most inconvenient change in a while (other than the “pending payments” issue), and I don’t understand why this was implemented in this update. I don’t want our user interface to look “sleeker/more compact,” I want things to be quicker and more convenient. This is a huge step backwards.
Topic summary
Shopify hosted an AMA (Ask Me Anything) for their Winter '23 Edition, which introduced 100+ product updates. The event ran until February 24, with product leaders answering merchant questions.
Key Topics & Questions:
-
Login Issues: Multiple users reported being forced to re-login on every new tab. Investigation revealed old admin URLs (mystore.shopify.com) trigger login prompts, while new URLs (admin.shopify.com/store/mystore) work correctly. Quick-edit shortcuts still use old URL structure.
-
B2B Catalogs: Currently in limited release for Plus merchants, rolling out progressively. Feature includes minimum/maximum quantity rules for variants, but order minimums planned for future release.
-
Pricing Challenges: Merchants requested separate online vs. in-store pricing capabilities. Shopify indicated this isn’t currently supported, as different channel pricing isn’t considered retail best practice.
-
Inventory Management: Questions about single inventory across multiple locations for pickup scenarios. Current system requires each location to maintain separate inventory counts.
-
Missing Features: Frustration expressed over long-requested features still absent (decimal quantities, removing ‘page’ from URLs, POS cash rounding for Canadian pennies).
-
One-Page Checkout: Confirmed available across all Shopify plans with early access signup.
-
UI Changes: Criticism of search being hidden and interface changes adding unnecessary clicks.
Shopify representatives acknowledged feedback and committed to sharing requests with product teams, though no specific timelines provided for most feature requests.

Hi I have a quick question about markets and multi location fulfillment.
I have a shop which sells the same product line up in two countries, but because of customs they want to fulfill from two different locations. If they sell in their primary market (Switzerland) then they should fulfill from the swiss fulfillment location. If they sell in the “rest of world” market they should only fullfill form the “Austria” location.
Furthermore when I set up a shipping profile (Add custom rates or destination restrictions for groups of products) You can only have the products assigned to a single rate.
So I am unclear how to set this up. Could someone please point me in the right direction Im a bit lost with the shipping profiles and such… Or is this even possible.
Cheers,
Gary
Hi @RoedaStudio - Catalogs is currently in a limited release and will progressively get rolled out to 100% of Plus merchants over the next few weeks. To request priortized access to this feature, contact your Merchant Success Manager or Plus Support and ask to be added to the waitlist. This feature includes the ability to set minimum, maximum, and increment quantity rules for variants, not order totals. We plan to release order total minimums as a core feature of our platform in a future release. To learn more about Catalogs, visit https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/b2b/catalogs.
Hi @NR1 , Today, you can use the Shopify Search & Discovery app to customize complementary products on the product details page. Surfacing complementary product recommendations on other surfaces like the search results page etc. is not something we currently support; however, the team is actively exploring this. You can explore more information on the Shopify Search & Discover app here:https://apps.shopify.com/search-and-discovery
Hi,
I am wondering how I activate the one page checkout? Is it only for Shopify Plus?
Thank you.

I can’t believe Shopify didn’t added this yet!
why don’t we have ONLINE prices and IN STORE prices?? We have to duplicate all products and make in store dups with different prices and visibility POS.
BUT! It won’t update or sync product quantities when a product is bought.
it’s a mess!! Please make this feature ASAP

You probably won’t see Shopify build in two different price options because offering a different price in store and online isn’t a retail best practice.
There are apps that do what you need, though.
You can also take inspiration from Costco- “this product may be in stock at your local Costco warehouse for a lower non-delivered price”

Is it possible if I hire a developer to create an app for it? Or would it be impossible due to Shopify restrictions?
The other methods and apps I found for is not what I’m looking for.
Hi @senkels & @damaz , one-page checkout will be available on all Shopify plans. You can sign up to be considered for early access on this page:Shopify Checkout: The Best-Converting Ecommerce Checkout - Shopify
The built for Shopify program requires all apps to remove asset API. But my app uploads a custom product template with different section files. I cannot remove asset API. Also, I am uploading images to the theme
Any exemptions here? Otherwise I am afraid I cannot make my app eligible.
Regarding non-embedded apps, are they going to be deprecated soon? My app is working as a standalone web app. Look like built for Shopify is going to phase out standalone apps as embedded app is a hard requirement.

I have two questions–are these Shopify Editions Winter '23 updates automatically installed on our site, or do we need to do something to manually update?
Also, if we have any customizations, will they remain after the updates install?
Thank you!

Hello, My shop theme is Sense
We would like to remove the express payment methods from the shopping cart and from the first step of the checkout. We still want customers to be able to pay with paypal. But not via the express option.
The express checkout is a real conversion killer in the European Union. Because visitors think that the express payment methods (paypal, apple pay and google pay) are the only payment methods we offer. While this is not the case.
There should be an option to turn this off. Seems like a very simple adjustment to me.
All custom options I find on this forum to remove the express checkout no longer work.
Please shopify help us!
Regards,
Viet

Hi @senkels , the three new notifications are automatically translated by Shopify based on the buyer’s locale. FYI this is the case for all notifications too.
Hi @Lhingley , @Scott_Sillcox & @greenblueberry1 , you can visit the Editions site at https://www.shopify.com/editions/winter2023 and click through on the feature you’re interested in. This will lead you to product-specific documentation that will guide you on how to add to your store if you’re currently eligible.
Alternatively, if you’re signed into your Shopify store, click on any of the “Try it in your store” links under most products which will direct you to where in your Store Admin you can install or find the feature.
Shopify POS Improvements— I’m excited with what was posted/announced today!
Next steps-- we are in desperate need of a “Bar Tab” feature. The apps on the store have horrible reviews & interfaces. Something that would allow pre-authorization, additions to carts, and checkouts/tips similar to a Toast or other app would be huge. In my retail store we have a bar and want to continue to use Shopify there for data collection, but the POS structure makes this difficult.
PLEASE tell me this is under development and releasing soon?

Hi,
When will POS be able to round the change to return back to a customer if they pay with cash? The penny has been abolished for several years and for some reason, the POS does not round the pennis despite shopify being a Canadian company.
It would be great for the POS to automatically round the change to give back to the customer, and then list on the end of day report the amount that was rounded.
This has been discussed in the past on shopify forums.
