Shopify Platform and App Extensibility
summary
Shopify reports over 40 billion API calls in 2017 and unveils concrete developer tools: a draft orders API to create/edit/complete invoices (used by Ultimate Reorder to automate repeat purchases and apply incentives), a marketing events API that attaches conversion and click attribution to orders and home dashboards, and a storefront API (GraphQL) for single-call custom storefronts. Polaris and the Embedded App SDK bring apps into product pages, home cards and the native mobile app so apps run inside merchant workflows rather than as external links.
