Shopify Unite 2018 was more than just an opportunity to see Justin Trudeau, eat poutine, and see Toronto. It was also a time to hear some big announcements for what is soon to come for brands powered by Shopify Plus over the coming year.

Here are a few things that really jumped out at us and that we’re super excited about for our clients and brands running on Shopify Plus.

Just as its name suggests the Shopify Plus platform provides tools to help eCommerce businesses grow and scale without having to re-platform. Having a platform that can grow with your business is essential to ensure that today's hard work can turn into tomorrow’s sales. Launchpad is just one of the many apps from Shopify that allows eCommerce brands to simplify the process around marketing campaigns with automation.

Flow is the new workflow tool for Shopify Plus merchants from Shopify that introduces automation into real-time alerts & your operations process. This new tool allows you to keep everybody on your team on the same page through an easy to use workflow tool where you can build specific flows that are relevant to your organization’s processes.
