Shopify Summer '25: With over 150+ updates - your eshop gets even better

The Shopify Summer '25 Edition has just been released, and it's packed with fresh features , AI superpowers , and more creative tools than ever before . Whether you're building your first e-commerce store or looking to breathe new life into something you're already running, this edition is the boost you've been waiting for.

Let's take a look at the highlights – in simple words:

1. Horizon: Build Your Dream Store (No Code!)

The new Horizon theme foundation is the most user-friendly and customizable you've ever seen. Drag & drop layout, AI that understands what you tell it (literally), and templates that sell... before you even say "add to cart".

What can you do:

  • Choose one of the 10 ready-made design presets
  • Build your layout with 30+ content blocks
  • Tell AI “I want a banner for a summer offer” and it will create it for you
  • Start from scratch with the AI ​​Store Builder that creates custom designs based on your brand

Ideal for startups, campaigns, or if you simply want to do a redesign without a developer.

2. Hello Klarna! Now checkout is easier

Starting in the summer of 2025, Shopify is bringing Klarna to the Greek market, giving merchants more flexible payment options. Through Shopify Payments, you can now enable Klarna and offer your customers:

  • Immediate payment (Klarna Pay Now)
  • Payment by invoice (Klarna Pay Later)
  • Payment in 3 interest-free installments (Klarna Pay in 3)

Transactions are completed on Klarna's platform, but you are paid normally through Shopify. Note: Options only appear when the customer checks out by email (not by phone).

3. Are you selling Europe? Do it like a local!

With Shopify's new Region Markets, you can create submarkets within larger markets (e.g. "France" within Europe), customize homepage, currency, language, and URLs — all from an easy-to-use graph view .

What do you win:

  • Local currencies & languages
  • Personalized homepage per country
  • VAT & customs settings in a few clicks
  • Automatic cookie banners & GDPR consent
  • Smooth user experience & more conversions

The ideal tool to give your e-shop an international character without losing the local feel.

4. International Sales Without Borders (and Without Headaches)

With the new Shopify, you can manage multiple companies from one admin. Shopify Payments expands to support 130+ currencies.

What does this mean for you:

  • You sell from different brands/entities from one point
  • Settlement in up to 8 currencies
  • Fewer procurements and easier collaborations with suppliers
  • Shopify Payments now available in Mexico + 15 European markets (including Greece)

5. Knowledge Base: Give AI Your Own Voice

Now you can teach AI how to promote your brand . The new Knowledge Base app lets you define the answers it gives to customers, based on your USPs.

“What is your most eco-friendly product?”

He responds with exactly what you taught him.

6. Sidekick 2.0: Your Digital Assistant Just Leveled Up

Sidekick can now analyze, respond, predict and… create images! You can speak to it, share your screen and help you solve problems faster than ever.

Examples:

  • Why did last week's sales increase?
  • What should I order first to replenish stock?
  • Make me 3 images for the new landing page.

The Summer '25 Edition was built for creators, not developers. It's lighter, more powerful, smarter , so you can build your e-shop with inspiration, not stress.
