| 10/14/26 | Episode 196 - Live Shopping with Skip Chapman | 10/14/26 Episode Summary This week, Scott talks with Skip, founder of KAFX Body, a natural deodorant brand built around patented coffee-oil technology. What started as a dad trying to solve his triplet sons' body odor became a business overnight when one TikTok video hit a million views. Skip shares how he proved coffee oil works as a natural antimicrobial, why his customers care more about results than science, and how showing his struggles built a loyal community. He also explains how AI ... | 1h 12m 37s | ||||||
| 9/30/26 | Episode 195 - The Shopify Silver Bullet: Hardwork | 9/30/26 Episode Summary JT from ReptiChip returns as the show's first-ever repeat guest. Two years ago, his reptile supply brand had grown revenue 5x; since then it's done it again, for roughly 25x growth in three and a half years. JT and Scott break down the three buckets behind that growth: Catalog expansion: curating and reselling other brands' products that meet his quality bar, including wholesale vs. dropship, partner deals, and margins.Advertising: building in-house skill in Google a... | 49m 08s | ||||||
| 9/16/26 | Episode 194 - AEO for Shopify Stores | 9/16/26 Episode Summary Answer Engine Optimization is how your products get recommended when a shopper asks ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini what to buy. Two of my clients are now getting about 7% of their sales from AI, so this is a real channel, even though it's still under 1% of retail traffic overall. In this episode I walk through the two halves of AEO work: on-site, which is the structured data and content that controls how AI understands your products, and off-site, which is the third-part... | 27m 46s | ||||||
| 9/2/26 | Episode 193 - 404 Page in your Shopify Store | 9/2/26 Episode Summary Shoppers hit your 404 page when a URL is mistyped or when a product or collection has been deleted, so it matters for SEO and user experience. Shopify Analytics won't show you your 404s easily, but Google Search Console will — under Pages, look for "Not found (404)." Then create redirects in the Shopify admin under Content → Menus → URL Redirects. Shopify makes these 301 permanent redirects automatically, and pointing a dead product to its main collection beats dumpin... | 11m 17s | ||||||
| 8/19/26 | Episode 192 - Subscriptions with The Healing Hedge Witch | 8/19/26 Episode Summary Scott welcomes the founder of The Healing Hedge Witch for an in-depth discussion on implementing a successful subscription model on Shopify.

| 8/5/26 | Episode 191 - What AI can do for your Shopify brand today | 8/5/26 Episode Summary Two things about AI are true at the same time: it's genuinely powerful when wired into your systems, and getting it there is a lot harder than the demos suggest. In this episode Scott gives you both halves. He walks through Client OS, the tool JadePuma built and runs on client brands — a connector that sits between Shopify, Klaviyo, Notion, GitHub, and Google Drive, holds a detailed brand definition, and routes each task to whichever AI model fits it best by API. The... | 29m 27s | ||||||
| 7/22/26 | Episode 190 - Shopify's New Powerful Collections | 7/22/26 Episode Summary Shopify is rolling out a new Collection engine, and it's a big step forward for store owners. In this episode, Scott walks through what's changing: the old split between manual and smart collections is gone, replaced by collections built from a combination of sources. That means you can now mix automated rules, manual inclusions, exclusions, and pinned products in a single collection, nest collections inside other collections, and target down to the variant level so ... | 15m 28s | ||||||
| 7/8/26 | Episode 189 - Why Shopify Stores are Ditching White Backgrounds | 7/8/26 Episode Summary The episode explains that a store's background color drives a subconscious snap judgment about a brand within about 50 milliseconds — before a visitor reads a single word — and that in 2026, Shopify stores are increasingly moving away from the long-standing default of pure white backgrounds. Why white is losing its grip. Pure white is clean, fast-loading, readable, and required by Amazon and Google Shopping — but it's become commoditized (making independent brands lo... | 28m 28s | ||||||
| 6/24/26 | Episode 188 - Store Branding in the Checkout and Account Pages | 6/24/26 Episode Summary The episode tackles how to apply your brand identity to checkout and customer account pages—two areas merchants often neglect and frequently assume they can't control. Scott's core argument is that the jarring hand-off from a polished storefront to a generic, default-looking checkout erodes trust at the highest-intent moment in the funnel, when a browser becomes a buyer, and that visual disconnect costs you in abandoned carts. He explains why this happens: checkout i... | 15m 42s | ||||||

| 6/10/26 | Episode 187 - AI is Just Tablestakes | 6/10/26 Episode Summary AI has crossed a threshold in e-commerce — it's no longer a competitive advantage, it's table stakes. In this episode, Scott covers the AI baseline every Shopify brand needs to stay competitive (from automated product descriptions and smart recommendations to structured data for AI search visibility), and then digs into the real differentiators: founder-led content, a distinct brand voice, original photography, zero-party data, and a well-defined brand identity that... | 20m 36s | ||||||
| 5/27/26 | Episode 186 - Review of Breeze Landing Page | 5/27/26 Episode Summary Episode 186 reviews the Breeze product/landing page (wearbreeze.co) — a men's polo brand that targeted you on Instagram. What they do well: Tiered bundle pricing shown as price-per-shirt ($59 → $29 → $23 each), heavy social proof (300K+ customers, 16,914 sold, curated reviews matching the target demo by age/height/weight), and treating the product page as a landing page with strong copy and a cross-sell to shoes. Red flags: The "30-day wear test guarantee" contradict... | 29m 34s | ||||||
| 5/13/26 | Episode 185 - Review of the Enterprise Theme for Shopify Store | 5/13/26 Episode Summary In Episode 185 of the Shopify Solutions Podcast, host Scott Austin of JadePuma explains why he's made the Enterprise theme by Clean Canvas his go-to starting point for client Shopify stores. His core argument is that themes are toolboxes, and rather than picking one based on a single feature, merchants should pick the theme with the deepest set of built-in tools — which means less reliance on paid apps, developers, or theme migrations down the road. Enterprise (price... | 11m 42s | ||||||
| 4/29/26 | Episode 184 - Metaobject Pages: Building Custom, Dynamic Web Pages in Shopify | 4/29/26 Episode Summary This episode explains how to build scalable, dynamic web pages without coding, duplicating templates, or using third-party apps. The Core Concept: While metafields add single data points to existing products, metaobjects are standalone data structures (e.g., an "Artist Profile" with a name, bio, and photo). By enabling Metaobject Pages, you design just one theme template, and Shopify automatically generates a unique web page for every new entry you create. Best Use... | 23m 10s | ||||||
| 4/15/26 | Episode 183 - How to Use the Shopify Knowledge Base App for Agentic Commerce | 4/15/26 Episode Summary As AI agents like ChatGPT and Perplexity become a growing sales channel, Shopify store owners need to think beyond traditional SEO. This episode explores the concept of Agentic Commerce — where AI acts as a conversational sales associate, guiding customers through research and even checkout — and why structuring your store data for AI is now essential. Host Scott Austin walks through Shopify's free Knowledge Base app, which lets merchants create a structured, machin... | 13m 28s | ||||||

It frames a shift in e-commerce: shopping is moving from websites to AI conversations, where tools like ChatGPT recommend and surface products directly from Shopify catalogs.The traditional funnel (search → click → browse → buy) is changing into a single conversational interaction, with AI handling discovery, comparison, and decision-making.Succ... | 12m 35s | ||||||
