Shopify - Checkout links

A checkout link is a way to create a curated checkout experience for your customers. When you create a checkout link, you can select the product variants, quantities, and discounts that you'd like to apply. When a customer clicks the link, it takes them to a checkout with the selected merchandise, where they can complete the transaction.

Name change for Shopify’s GitHub app

The app that manages connections between Shopify and GitHub has changed its name from Shopify Online Store to Shopify. There’s no change to the app’s existing functionality. This change reflects earlier updates to Shopify’s GitHub app, which allows it to be used for custom storefront development with Hydrogen, in addition to managing theme code for the online store. We’ll continue to use this app to manage any additional future connections between Shopify and GitHub.
