I built MerchantDiff to turn Shopify changes into clear actions

I built MerchantDiff because Shopify developers shouldn't have to manually monitor dozens of changelogs, API docs, deprecations, and ecosystem tools just to catch the few updates that can actually break an app or force a migration.

MerchantDiff monitors those changes, filters out the noise, and turns important updates into clear developer actions:

  • what changed
  • who is affected
  • what to do
  • by when
  • primary source

The first issue covers:

  • ScriptTag deprecation
  • offline access token migration
  • Shopify CLI changes
  • inventory semantics
  • Algolia updates
  • upcoming deadlines

The goal is simple: spend less time reading changelogs and more time building.

There is a free demo issue here:

MerchantDiff is also available as a paid subscription for full weekly issues.

I'd especially appreciate feedback from Shopify developers: what would make a release-intelligence service like this genuinely useful in your workflow?
