Powered by Shopify: Pop-Ups and Point of Sale

on YouTube ↗20m

" summary

Argues that retail isn’t dying but shifting to experience-driven commerce, and backs it with concrete work: Shopify builds global pop-ups over six months, runs millions of checkouts, reuses a dead Manhattan store for a sold‑out Kylie Jenner pop‑up, and recreates permanent stores in 10x10 spaces using an Shopify POS card reader on iPad. Adds data tools like heatmapping at Unite, cites a survey where ~40% of merchants want in‑person sales, and shows returns, exchanges, and customer profiles working end‑to‑end.
