Shopify Online Store 2.0 and more
Shopify has just announced what they've been working on recently.
Here are the most important things.
ONLINE STORE 2.0
- Completely new version of the front-end part of Shopify (the old one can still be used).
- More flexibility and focus on performance (many more options for UX/UI + generally much faster).
- Sections can be used across all content.
- New theme editor.
- Theme app extensions make it easier to use apps in themes.
- Shopify has released the first new theme: Dawn
- Netflix.shop is the first live shop running Online Store 2.0
METAFIELDS
- Metafields can be managed directly in Shopify.
- Validation on fields (pretty cool).
- Can be used directly in Online Store 2 themes.
CUSTOM CONTENT
- Custom Content is coming later.
- Shopify’s new Content Management Platform.
CHECKOUT
- In general, checkout will be even faster - 10,000+ orders per minute for everyone.
- Checkout Extensions allow apps to add functionality directly in checkout.
- Shopify Scripts (PLUS) will be faster and even more flexible.
- Payments Platform / Payment Apps open up for more payment solutions.
...as well as a lot of other geeky things that make Shopify even more amazing! Before, everything was possible - now it's just easier :)

In short: everything will get better - in a while :)
We can't say anything yet about when you should/ought to switch to Online Store 2.0. We expect there will be a period where everything is new and both themes and apps need to figure out what's happening.
