Ever since Shopify got its start 20 years ago, our mission has been to make commerce better for everyone. One way we make life easier for merchants is by keeping the Shopify core platform simple and easy to use, while offering the flexibility to add commerce apps or choose different themes, depending on which bespoke features their business might need.
To encourage the world’s best and brightest innovators to come build on Shopify, we invested early and often in creating an ecosystem that embraces builders. And this year, we’re celebrating a few of our favorites.
Winners were announced at this year’s Editions.dev, where devs from around the world dug into the recent Shopify updates and features and got our hands dirty tinkering with the latest tech. We also took a minute to celebrate the best of the best. And the Shopify Build Awards go to…
Best apps
Selected for its innovative approach bundling, Bundle Builder offers best-in-class experiences that let merchants create custom product bundles, while giving customers the flexibility to mix and match items. The app is also great for managing inventory, setting pricing rules, and tracking performance—all while driving higher average order values.
O:Request a Quote—Vietnam
This app is a winner because it turns something that once was so complex into something so easy. Merchants can hide prices, let customers request personalized quotes, and effortlessly manage everything with automated responses. Plus it features a remarkably elegant design.
With great onboarding and an immersive editing experience, this app lets merchants build a newsletter in multiple languages. It also does an excellent job of keeping up with the latest Shopify design patterns, including Polaris 12 and theme block extensions.

Most creative storefront

Developer community
Jeffrey Guenther—Canada
Jeffrey is the dev behind impactful open-source tools like Shopkeeper, which enhances the theme developer experience with support for advanced setting management and deployment. His approach to building in public and sharing projects with the broader Shopify community has also inspired many other developers to open-source their own tooling.
Harshdeep Singh

Harshdeep created open-source app boilerplates that have been forked by hundreds of developers. He’s also served as a valuable mentor to many developers who are new to Shopify, and has created a culture of collaboration across the Shopify developer ecosystem.
