This month Shopify hasn’t changed too much, but just because there haven’t been any major feature updates, doesn’t mean that there haven’t been small tweaks to improve store owner and customer experiences.
Here are a few things we think should know about:
Shopify releases Unit Pricing to EU Stores
Unit Pricing, previously available only to French and German merchants, is now accessible to all merchants across the EU and Switzerland. This change is effective immediately. By expanding the availability of Unit Pricing, we aim to enhance price transparency and consistency for merchants and their customers throughout the region.
Unit Pricing allows merchants to display the price per unit for products sold in quantities or measurements. When a unit price is entered for a product, it is displayed on the product pages, collection pages, cart page, checkout pages, and order confirmation notifications. This feature helps customers make more informed purchasing decisions by providing clear and consistent pricing information.
Search & Discovery
You can now autogenerate filters based on Product Taxomony.
Category is now a filter option for any merchant who has set up their product category using Shopify’s Standard Product Taxonomy, improving storefront discovery.
See more about this on Shopify’s website.
Issue store credit to customers
Create greater flexibility for customers, improve operational efficiency, and help prevent lost sales with store credit. Start issuing store credit to customers directly in admin, view balances and transaction history, enable customers to spend store credit at checkout, and more.
Available in early access to stores that use new customer accounts (or for those using the new customer accounts login experience for authentication) and UI extensions on checkout.

Site launches
This has been an exciting month for Glaze, as we have launched a couple of new websites.
Restockar.com
Firstly, we have Restockar – a fashion and streetwear retailer. We built them a slick, minimalist website which puts imagery at the centre stage. A mega menu means that specific pieces are easier to find, and the category filters speeds up the discovery process, too.
Visit it for yourself now at restockar.com.
Ealu Moments
We also saw the launch of Ealu Moments’ website. Ealu Moments is an Irish-owned, female-founded skincare brand, and when we built this website, we made sure to not only showcase the products themselves, but allow room for sharing Ealu’s values and expertise, including step-by-step instructions on how to use each product for maximum benefits.
“In the hustle and bustle of everyday life, self care often takes a back seat. Through Ealu, we aspire to inspire moments of self care and relaxation” – Carly & Susan (co-founders of Ealu)
