I've been doing Shopify performance optimization for many years and each time I've hit a brick wall—applications. Everything else is fully optimizable on Shopify. You can lazy load images, optimize the theme JavaScript assets load, have total control over your code. Everything is great until you want to optimize apps that are injecting code via the ScriptTag API.

The first component I worked on with the Polaris team was the data table component, and it helped me realize what makes React such a powerful library. React’s component approach made it easy to create a stateful data table component and a stateless functional cell subcomponent. Its built-in lifecycle methods also provided more control over when to re-render the data table's cell heights. Here are the basic steps we took to build the Polaris data table component in React.

Back in 2004 a lot of the pieces that were necessary to run an e-commerce site existed, albeit in rudimentary and hard-to-use forms. One could, with a bit of trouble, open a merchant account and accept credit cards; 3PL warehouses could hold inventory; UPS and Fedex could deliver your goods. And, of course, you could run really cheap ads on Google. What was missing was software to tie all of those pieces together, which is exactly what Lütke built for Snowdevil, his snowboard shop, and in 2006 opened up to other merchants; the software’s name was called Shopify:

Shopify App Store
As of March 14, 2022, app listing pages will include additional details about Partners, such as how many apps they have on the store, the average app rating (for all apps combined), and how long they’ve developed for Shopify. Some of this information is already displayed on the app developer pages, but we’re adding it to the app listing page so that merchants have the decision-making details they need in a single place.

Draft Order + Invoice Gotcha
You probably know that you can use Shopify's API to create draft orders and to send invoices via email.
But, have you ever encountered the mysterious "Not payable via customer checkout" error when attempting to send the invoice?
If you have, Jakim Beaufort has found the solution!
It turns out that while you can send invoices for draft orders from the Shop admin area wily-nily, doing so from the API works ONLY before the draft order is 'completed'
Now we know! Thanks Jakim!
