The new shopping app is now available for both iOS and Android devices, and it has a number of new features. Notably, the app can compile order tracking information, allowing users to track orders in an easier way.
Shopify's new app will also help users find local items, which will help to support small businesses that are being adversely affected by the outbreak of COVID-19. Additionally, local favorites will also feature convenient pickup and delivery options for users of the app.
The app also features an improved checkout experience, which is 70% faster than before, due to integration with Shop Pay.
