Shopify News Round Up November 2025

The year’s nearly wrapped, but Shopify isn’t slowing down – this month brings significant improvements across analytics, payments, checkout customisation, and product management all designed to help you work smarter and sell more effectively.

Quick fact of the month: TikTok Shop is now the size of eBay in terms of total sales after selling an estimated $19B worth of products globally from July though September this year compared to eBay's $20.1B in sales during the same period.

Thoughts on Shopify & Shop Pay

Shopify’s making a clear, well-judged push to put Shop Pay at the forefront of online payments.

You can see the direction of travel in a few places: the widening of payment options within Shop Pay (including the new Apple Pay tie-in), the rollout of Shop Pay Instalments to markets like the UK, and the steady stream of improvements to the checkout experience.

For merchants, the offer is strong – zero transaction fees, instant payouts, easy integration, and higher conversion rates. For customers, there’s the flexibility of how they pay, the ability to track purchases through the Shop app, and access to exclusive rewards. Taken together, it’s a growing ecosystem that adds real value on both sides of the checkout.

The features outlined below show exactly how Shopify is shaping Shop Pay into the go-to choice for online payments, and why that momentum is only building.

Apple Pay available as a payment method in Shop Pay checkout

Merchants with Apple Pay enabled as an express checkout option will now have it automatically available as a payment method in Shop Pay checkouts. This expands customer payment options whilst supporting your checkout customisations.

View Offers in Shop App

The Shop App now features a dedicated Offers Feed where customers can discover and browse promotional deals from their favourite brands. Merchants' promotions appear prominently across the Shop App – in a banner at the top of their storefront, on individual product pages, and within the Offers Feed itself. Supported offer types include percentage discounts, fixed-amount discounts, free shipping, and buy-one-get-one (BOGO) deals.

Shop Pay Instalments now available in the UK

Shop Pay Instalments is now available to UK merchants, giving customers a flexible buy now, pay later option right at checkout. It lets shoppers spread the cost over interest-free instalments, making bigger-ticket purchases that bit more reachable – and helping lift average order values in the process.

Key benefits:

Boost conversion by offering customers more ways to pay
No extra fees for merchants – Shop Pay covers the transaction
Automatic eligibility checks at checkout
Smooth, seamless setup within the trusted Shop Pay checkout
Customers can track and manage their instalments easily through the Shop app

With Shop Pay Instalments now live in the UK, merchants can meet the growing demand for flexible payments while keeping the security, speed, and simplicity that Shop Pay is known for.

Shopify Reverses AI Chat, Returns to Human Support

Shopify has made it easier to reach a real person when you need help. A new “Chat with a human” button is now available across the Help Center, putting merchants straight through to an advisor rather than navigating an AI-first flow.

Most merchants can expect to be connected within around five minutes on a typical day – quick, simple, and human when it matters.

Paypal released their Rewards Program called Paypal +

PayPal has reintroduced itself to the UK market with PayPal+, a new loyalty programme designed for its nearly 30 million UK customers. Users can now earn and redeem points whether they’re paying with their PayPal balance, cards, or Buy Now, Pay Later options. As customers move up through the membership tiers, they unlock stronger rewards and exclusive perks.

Alongside the launch, PayPal has rolled out its first UK debit and credit cards, expanded PayPal Credit for in-store purchases, and partnered with brands like Live Nation to offer festival-focused benefits.

Shopify Sees Growth for E-commerce from Chat GPT

Shopify has seen a sharp rise in traffic coming from AI tools like ChatGPT — up 7x since January – with AI-attributed purchases climbing 11x in the same period. You can now track this directly in your Shopify Admin, giving you clearer insight into how these emerging channels are driving sales and shaping customer behaviour.

App of the month

NA Bulk Price Editor

NA Bulk Price Editor is a powerful tool for Shopify merchants who want to take the hassle out of managing prices at scale. It lets you update product prices and compare-at prices in bulk across your whole catalogue, cutting out hours of manual changes.

Its standout feature is the ability to schedule price updates in advance – perfect for planning sales, seasonal promotions, and limited-time offers without the last-minute scramble.

Key features:

Bulk edit prices and compare-at prices for multiple products simultaneously
Schedule price changes to start and end automatically at specific dates and times
Create percentage or fixed-amount discounts across your catalog
Filter products by collection, vendor, tag, or other criteria for targeted pricing updates
Automatic price rollback when sales end, restoring original pricing
Preview changes before applying them to ensure accuracy

This app really comes into its own during busy shopping periods like Black Friday or Christmas, when you need to roll out complex, time-sensitive pricing across hundreds or even thousands of products. Instead of updating each item by hand – or staying up late to hit midnight price changes – NA Bulk Price Editor automates the process, freeing you to focus on other important areas of your business.
