Shopify has recently made some changes to the way the “Thank You” page is displayed for shops once an order is completed to provide some new information to your customers on order tracking. This is a great improvement for your customers, and it also allowed us to do some cool new things with our Happy Checkout app for customizing the thank you page.

We’ve updated most of the app’s widgets to add some new features, along with the way modules are added to the thank you page to be consistent with the new Shopify changes. This also allowed us to update and improve our live preview, so here’s a summary of the new stuff you can start using immediately!

Imagine a scenario. You have set up your Shopify store. You have created all your products, product descriptions, and pages on the store site. You get customers who buy your products.

But, there is a new announcement you need to make about the product. You can send an email to your customers, but it may get lost in their inbox or may be hard to reference a month from now. This also only notifies existing customers, not new customers or media outlets. So how else can you create a repository of announcements and other information about your store?

One great way to keep customers in the loop is to use your blog.

Social media marketing is not simply about posting updates or information on social platforms. It is about listening to customers and enabling them to share your brand with others. Shopify makes it easy to integrate your social strategy right out of the box, and there are a number of apps to build your Shopify social eCommerce.

You’d be surprised at how easy it is to turn Shopify social and reap the rewards from customers being able to easily share your products, make recommendations to their networks, and provide useful feedback about how they use and interact with your products.

People like free things. According to a Priceonomics article, if given a choice between getting a $10 gift card for free vs buying a $20 gift card for $7 (where people gain $12 instead of the free $10), almost everyone opted to get the $10 gift card. People really like free things.

A free giveaway on your Shopify store can go a long way to entice potential customers and build better branding.
