🔍 SEO Description:
The Shopify Plus Partner Program helps Shopify merchants grow by connecting them with skilled agencies and consultants. It's for partners like design, marketing, and consulting agencies that meet high standards. Partners get benefits like special Shopify Plus training, chances to join in sales and marketing, earning commissions, support from a network of top agencies, access to a private chat group, and a public profile in the Shopify Partner Directory. In early 2024, the Shopify Plus Partner Directory will become part of a larger Shopify Partner Directory. To join the program, partners need to apply and show they can meet the requirements.

Hi Jan this is a question about your video from a while back called: How to set up custom and personalized products on Shopify (free)

How do you export these custom fields as a .csv when you export your orders?

I would love to know how his team handle the build and deployment seeing he has mentioned tailwind and webpack. Of course there are ways to get around it, but I'd love to hear how an agency like this does it in a way that's not messy and hacky on the 2.0 platform.

Hi Jan, this video was very useful. Can you please make a video on theme management with GitHub? How agencies are managing their themes with GitHub for live projects? Because in Shopify we can duplicate themes for backup and can publish any theme that has listed down their so how to manage that themes?

After watching your video about shopify freelancing. I'm deciding to learn HTML CSS and JS. I already know Python so Idk how useful it is for shopify but how long did it take you to be considered GOOD as a Shopify Freelance Developer?
