There's a massive flaw in the Shopify checkout process that costs merchants millions in customer service hours and lost revenue. I sat down with Hamish McKay, CEO of Order Editing, a startup that's solving the one problem Shopify hasn't: letting customers edit their own orders after purchase. He breaks down The Billion-Dollar Mistake Hiding in Every Shopify Checkout—the 1.5% of customers who make a mistake and why giving them self-service options is a huge opportunity. We also explore the hidden technical complexities of building for Shopify and dive into a deep, philosophical conversation about the future of work and creativity in the age of AI. This is an essential conversation for any e-commerce founder or operator.
