In this episode, we explore why a Shopify ecosystem-first approach is key for e-commerce growth. 

Anton Ekström, an entrepreneur and expert at Iggy Agency, explains why merchants should see Shopify as a powerful operating system, not just a simple store builder.

  • Why Shopify is now an operating system for commerce.

  • What makes a Shopify theme mobile-friendly.
  • How to build a successful B2B store on Shopify.
  • Why you should talk to a Shopify partner early.
