Is it just me, or does Shopify in the past couple months continually to publish worse and worse updates that make the user experience worse? They made it so the search bar is hidden and you now have to click an extra button every time you want to search for a product, order, or filter. The attempt…

Exactly !!! I hate clicking to get to search. I hate available, on hand, committed for inventory. It’s really screwing me up especially since in admin the bar has to be scrolled across to even see the products inventory. It’s all a mess, seems like IT guys have nothing to do, just playing with the…

Click Availability then select from drop down to the channels Once you find they are not on channels select all those products and use the drop menu to add to channels and you can add all the products selected to those channels don’t do it one at a time

Yeah, but the point is Shopify made an update requiring MORE work for the user, with no benefit whatsoever. I have to remember to go back and double check all the products I added that day and take the extra step to publish them to the POS channel, when before it would just copy the same settings as…

It’s awful, and their filter function to search for how many customers ordered certain products is not intuitive - I’ve more than once looked for a product, only to find that it includes other products in that count if it’s in the same order. The homepage is so empty and the way that you have to ref…

Exactly, I know what you mean about LIVE, we have to constantly refresh. I use also analytics in realtime and they have an app now too. It works OK, somewhat better than shopify

I’m trying to contact support today and the chat assistant says I’m in the queue with a typical 5 minute wait time…I’ve been waiting hours. Just another mistake I don’t see with other companies. If everyone is off today (day after xmas) that’s fine but at least notify customers that chat reps aren’…

Totally agree! And now, they only show up to 12 variants on the product page, so you have to click again and again to see all of them. What are they doing???
