Smarter Discounts & Targeting: Shopify Summer Edition 2025 Marketing Upgrades

Meta Description: Shopify's Summer Edition 2025 makes it easier than ever to automate discounts, segment your audience, personalize campaigns, and integrate AI-powered support. Discover what’s new.


Shopify’s Summer Edition 2025 isn't just about flashy storefronts and powerful AI—it’s also packed with next-level marketing tools and segmentation upgrades that make it easier than ever to boost conversions and build lasting customer relationships.

Let’s break down the latest updates that will redefine your marketing, targeting, and customer retention strategies.


💸 One Discount. Multiple Savings.

You can now create a single discount that applies across:

  • Products

  • Entire orders

  • Shipping costs

This update works with select discount apps, making promotions more seamless and less fragmented.

Why it matters:

  • Better UX: Customers don’t need to apply multiple codes.

  • Higher conversion: Shoppers feel they're saving more with less effort.

  • Streamlined backend: Less complexity managing campaigns.

🎁 Example: Apply “SUMMER25” and your customer gets 10% off a product + $5 off shipping in one click.


🧠 ShopifyQL Segment Editing Just Got an Upgrade

ShopifyQL—the powerful query language used to build customer segments—has been upgraded with:

  • Assistive features

  • Keyboard shortcuts

  • Smarter date filtering

Benefits:

  • Faster segment creation

  • Fewer errors when building advanced queries

  • More flexibility when analyzing historical data

Ideal for data-driven merchants looking to fine-tune retargeting and lifecycle marketing.


🤖 AI-Ready: Knowledge Base for AI Shopping

With AI shopping chats gaining traction, Shopify now lets you customize the FAQs that AI agents can use when responding to customer queries.

The new Knowledge Base app helps ensure:

  • Accurate product answers

  • Consistent brand messaging

  • Improved AI engagement

📚 Feed the right answers, and AI becomes your best pre-sale assistant.


📊 Prebuilt Segmentation Templates

Not sure how to build effective segments? Shopify now offers ready-to-use templates for:

  • Language preference

  • Purchase history

  • Customer location

These are perfect for beginners—or anyone who needs to act fast during launches or holiday sales.


🏪 Retail Segments by Address

You can now create geographic segments based on plain-language addresses, like:

“151 O'Connor St, Ottawa”
instead of needing GPS coordinates or existing store locations.

This update is a game-changer for hyper-local campaigns and event-based retail targeting.


🛠️ Smarter Marketing Automation with Template Search

Shopify has made it easier to launch marketing automations with:

  • A new search bar

  • Sort and filter capabilities

  • Tag-based recommendations

Find the right template faster, whether you're running a cart abandonment flow or a welcome series.


🛑 Cancel Email Campaigns Mid-Send

Typos happen. Broken links slip through. Now, you can cancel email campaigns even after they’ve started sending, saving you from:

  • Lost revenue

  • Damaged brand perception

  • Embarrassing mistakes

📧 Stop the send, fix it, and re-launch without panic.


🎨 Email Customization: Padding & Footers

Design just got more flexible:

  • Customize email padding for cleaner visuals

  • Save and reuse footer settings

  • Choose between compact or expanded layouts

This is perfect for maintaining brand consistency across campaigns and devices.


💳 Show Store Credit Anywhere with Liquid

You can now display store credit balances dynamically in:

  • Marketing emails

  • Online storefronts

Use Shopify Liquid to remind customers to come back and spend their credit—boosting retention and reducing churn.

💬 Example: “You still have ₹500 in store credit. Use it before it expires!”


🔄 Sync Metafields with Shopify Forms

Shopify Forms will now auto-sync with your custom metafields, meaning:

  • Any changes in your customer data model reflect instantly

  • Consistency across your store, forms, and campaigns

🧩 No more mismatched fields or manual syncing nightmares.
