#2 "The Scope Bot" w/ David Robinson

Welcome to episode number two of talkingshop.dev. I sat down again with David Robinson, the Director of Technology for fashion brand Cuyana. We talked about some of the discount functionality he's building for black Friday, some app proxy URL adventure that I'm having, a super weird checkout capture issue, some point of sale stuff, as well as a really interesting AI tool David started using for summarizing calls. 00:00:00 Intro 00:01:05 Black Friday Discount Functionality 00:01:22 Private Event Sales Concept 00:02:09 Custom Strikethrough Pricing Implementation 00:02:51 Testing Pricing Features 00:03:35 Managing Product List Page and Colors 00:04:46 App Proxy URL Issues 00:06:48 Considerations on Building Custom Account Sections 00:07:50 Switching from Hydrogen to App Proxy 00:09:00 React and Remix Challenges 00:10:50 Next.js and App Proxy Liquid Issues 00:12:18 Auth0 and Impersonation Solutions 00:15:00 Shopify Discount Logic and Coupon Overrides 00:16:33 Acceptance of Shopify’s Constraints 00:19:06 Captcha Issues at Checkout 00:21:40 Support Interactions and Improving Responses 00:23:26 Leveraging Shopify Plus Support Channels 00:26:12 New Flow Triggers and Meta Object Entries 00:29:00 AI and Automation in Shopify Development 00:33:18 Fathom Video for Transcriptions and Summaries 00:38:48 Chatbots and Automated Support for Stores 00:43:52 Matrixify’s Role in Data Management 00:45:49 Good Day ERP and Shopify Polaris Integration 00:47:10 Building PIM for Shopify 00:50:22 Bulk Editing Limitations and Spreadsheet Advantages 00:52:36 Managing Pre-order, Release Dates, and Waitlists 01:02:11 Shopify POS Features and Hardware Advancements 01:05:45 Interest in POS Extensions and App Development 01:10:00 Reflecting on Theme Workflow and Improvements
