Shopify Summer Edition 2025: Smarter, Greener, and Faster Checkout Is Here
💳 Checkout That Converts — Shopify’s Biggest Update Yet
The checkout experience is one of the most crucial stages in the buyer journey—and with Shopify Summer Edition 2025, it’s now faster, more flexible, and more secure than ever.
From split shipping logic and carbon-neutral delivery to real-world checkouts inside virtual worlds, Shopify is redefining how and where customers buy.

Improves customer satisfaction at checkout
✅ Ideal for brands with multiple fulfillment centers or third-party logistics (3PLs)
