In this episode of Liquid Weekly, Karl kicks things off with a chat about his undeniable love for cheese balls and snacking.

Karl gives an insider's perspective on a significant project he undertook, discussing the complexities involved in migrating a client from BigCommerce to Shopify.

Taylor reveals how the Shopify Flow app can be leveraged to make this happen.

Is the platform making it challenging for budding developers to break into the ecosystem? Karl and Taylor weigh in. The debate heats up as they ponder whether Shopify is "eating its own ecosystem" by rolling out native apps like bundling and subscriptions. They question: Is Shopify taking a leaf out of Microsoft's playbook by acquiring numerous apps in the space? // Resource Links // Matrixify Shopify app: ⁠https://apps.shopify.com/excel-export-import⁠ Shopify Flow app: ⁠https://apps.shopify.com/flow⁠ Shopify Flow docs: ⁠https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/shopify-flow/reference⁠ Shopify Editions | Summer 2023: ⁠ https://www.shopify.com/editions/summer2023⁠ Extensions-only apps hosted on Shopify:  ⁠https://shopify.dev/docs/apps/app-extensions/extension-only-apps⁠ Tobi's response on Twitter to Shopify eating it's own ecosystem: ⁠ https://twitter.com/tobi/status/1684238675884888065?s=20⁠  Remix app template:  ⁠https://www.shopify.com/editions/summer2023#remix-app-template⁠
