Shop (Follow on Shop)

Shop is Shopify's own shopping app. The Follow on Shop button lets a shopper follow a store from its storefront, and Shopify renders that button through the platform's own code path. A theme places the region it appears in; it does not build the control or hold the follower relationship.

How We've Used It

One gated build touches it: the footer rebuild, where the payment-icon and social-icon regions were deliberately left on the platform's own rendering rather than rebuilt in local markup. That decision is the interesting part. The footer inherits Shopify's payment-type icons and the Follow on Shop button without a local copy to maintain, and the bottom bar computes its column count from which of those regions have content, so the layout adapts to a region that is switched off rather than breaking around it.

Our Role

Placement. The button renders on Shopify's own code path, inside the footer we restructured.
