AI, everything that comes out of it, that comes with it, should be seen as an enabler that just makes you better at what you do, that gives more output.

I fully, definitely, I fully agree what you already said.

And that's also why in Germany it was available from the start when I started.

You said that there is a room for the negotiation, but also as you said the full picture of the total cost of ownership is also relevant to be calculated and you as Shopify can help merchants just to make the proper calculation, which will enhance to do everyone who is just considering it.

It is the building of the front end through AI, with AI support that you can give textural context, textural wishes, what you would like to have.

You have way more features available, maybe also cooler features available.

Let's try to discuss a bit more and delve into the details.

What is the main misconception about Shopify?

One są z Ukrainy, a potem z Australii.

To jest Bowdoin dla marki Ukraińskiej, ogromny sprzedawca z ogromną liczbą SKU, bardzo kompleksowym modelem biznesowym.

Mają wiele prezentacji retailowych na całym kraju, ale też mają około 1 milion dolarów w pieniądze.

When I said that, you know, after the launch, actually you don't need us at all for the daily maintenance.

You don't need us as a developer, you don't need an agency which supports you in your daily activities, because you can do it by yourself.

So that's definitely a huge benefit of it and it will decrease the maintenance costs of the entire solution.

The other thing, because you said that you were supporting

One thing that I would like to follow up here is like, maybe it was said before, but maybe just to clarify it and make a list of the signs.

We discussed this technological barrier and then the total cost of an airship.

Probably almost in the entire world, especially in the enterprise segment, it's a pain to work with.

Let's evaluate if switching to another platform might actually solve this pain, because I believe updates are not just costly, they're also a pain, because things can go wrong.

I mean, it doesn't need to be in, you know, very detailed, but in general, is it, let's say, the good, right tool for the company who is looking for, let's say, reliable, serious and complex solution for this platform, or is it some kind of just, you know, extras to your regular business?

Wydaje mi się, że to są firmy, które robią sales D2C, głównym biznesem D2C, ale są też interesy B2B, może mają bardzo old school workflow, by e-mail, by telefon, itd.

Sorry, no, no, I just wanted to ask, cause you said about our role in this expansion of Shopify here.

And these are the partners that are doing the main groundwork.

And they have again an unfair advantage because they have those customer success stories, right?

I can only confirm, for us, partnership with Shopify was the main growth driver for the last couple of years.

This is the main goal of us and we know that you as experienced partners can achieve this in the best way.

Names mentioned in the whole Retainer game in the agency, on the agency side of further store development.

You said once migration is done.

As I said before the recording, my LinkedIn feed is full of opinions and comments after this year's Shopify editions.

AI, wszystko, co się staje z niej, co się pojawia w niej, powinno być widoczne jako umożliwianie ludzi, którzy pracują nad tymi tematami, którzy pracują na sklepach, którzy pracują w sprzedażach, którzy pracują w produktach.
