What basic features are missing from Shopify's updates?

Hey everyone! I’m curious about the simple but important things we all hope Shopify will add with each update. You know, those basic features that would make our lives so much easier but never seem to make the cut.

I’ll kick things off with my top wish: the ability to copy menus! It’s such a small thing, but it would save so much time. I find myself manually recreating menus way too often.

What about you guys? What are some everyday tasks or features you’re always hoping Shopify will improve or add? Let’s share our wishlists and see if we’re all dreaming of the same updates!

As someone who’s been using Shopify for years, I’ve noticed a glaring omission: bulk editing of product variants. It’s incredibly time-consuming to update prices or inventory for multiple variants individually, especially for shops with extensive product lines. A simple spreadsheet-like interface for bulk edits would be a game-changer. Another feature I’ve been longing for is more advanced customer segmentation tools. The current options are quite limited, and being able to create more nuanced customer groups based on purchase history, browsing behavior, or custom fields would greatly enhance our marketing efforts. These might seem like small additions, but they’d significantly streamline daily operations for many store owners.

I’ve gotta chime in here because there’s one feature that’s been driving me nuts for ages - the lack of a proper product bundling system. Sure, there are workarounds and apps, but nothing beats native functionality.

I run a tech accessories store, and being able to easily create and manage product bundles would be a total game-changer. It’s not just about grouping items together; it’s about offering dynamic pricing, inventory management across bundled products, and seamless checkout experiences.

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had to juggle multiple apps and manual processes just to offer a simple ‘phone case + screen protector’ bundle. It’s a headache, and I’m sure I’m not alone in this.

Shopify’s a great platform, but this gap is costing us sales and making inventory management a nightmare. If they could roll out a robust, native bundling feature, I bet it would make a world of difference for many of us selling complementary products.
