After the recent release of Shopify Winter ’23, Shopify has announced a host of new features. While some of them have already been rolled out, there are still many yet to be released. In this post I’ll explain how you can get access to these new features before they’re released to the public.

What features were announced at Shopifys Winter ‘23?

I’m not going to list all of them because there was a lot! Just some of the key ones I’m excited about:

  • One Page Checkout
  • Lightening-fast page loads everywhere
  • AI Generated Content and Improved Search & Recommendations
  • and many more!

How to get early access to these features

The quickest way to access these features early is to open a Shopify Partner account. This will allow you to open developer Shopify stores and test all the new features for free.

What is a Shopify Partner Account?

A Shopify partner account allows you to build development stores. There are several benefits to having a Shopify partner account, such as earning a referral fee when the stores you have built for your clients are launched, which is usually a percentage of the subscription price. Additionally, having a Shopify partner account grants you early access to the latest Shopify features.

Development stores have the features of which Shopify plan?

Shopify development stores have all the features that are offered under the Advanced Shopify plan. Once you have created a development store, activate developer preview. Developer preview extends the functionality of a Shopify development store and allows you to test upcoming features before they are made available to merchants.

Why is this a good idea?

There are several advantages to doing this, including the ability to:

  • Experiment with new features before they become public.
  • Get an understanding of how these features can be used for your store.
  • Determine whether any adjustments or modifications to your products or store is required before their launch.
  • Assess whether the new features will disrupt or supersede any existing functionalities that your store currently has.

Final Thoughts

New features are constantly being introduced to Shopify. By having a Shopify Partner account ready, you gain early access to test out all the latest Shopify features before they are launched publicly. This allows you to experiment with upcoming features, assess their potential impact on your store, and gain an edge over your competitors.
