Shopify has so many interesting and useful features that allow our clients to automate and customise many of the processes adding real value to their efficiency and engagement as a business. Here’s a collection of the most useful Shopify Flows you could benefit from:
For automation:
Shopify Flow:
Flow does this by storing and executing triggers, conditions, and actions you specify without any coding. Keeping up so far?
To streamline the time it takes you to create and implement a workflow, Shopify recently announced Shopify Flow templates. These templates take the guesswork out of which workflow you should use, meaning you can browse a library of over 120 pre-made workflow templates and implement them in just a few seconds.
Shopify Launchpad:
Launchpad offers a simple way to automate and schedule a sales campaign, product releases, and flash sales. It also gives you the ability to automate theme switching during important events providing your customers with better shopping experience and making your brand stand out.
Check out this list of ways you can use Launchpad to schedule live events on your store.

Shopify Scripts:
Scripts enable you to customise shopping experiences by running advanced promotions that are proven to increase order values and drive more frequent purchases, as well as reduce basket abandonment rates. Scripts can also be used to create custom price lists for your trade and B2B clients.
Personalise the checkout experience based on shopping cart values.
Enable code stacking: Combine promotions based on certain conditions. E.g. a customer is new to your store, so they automatically get 10% off; if they select an item from the ”Sale” collection, they automatically get 30% off that item; and if they spend above EUR100, they also get free shipping activated, etc.
Here are the top 13 Shopify Script examples Shopify’s Plus merchants use to increase conversions.
Custom Checkout:
Deliver a consistent brand experience throughout the entire purchase process by fully customizing your checkout with access to the checkout.liquid template. Customising both its look and feel, as well as adding customer fields, trust badges, reviews, shipping, payment options, etc, These modifications can create a faster flow, provide deeper analytics, and consistency in the end-to-end brand experience.
Exclusive API Access:
Build complex integrations with the Plus-only Gift Card, Users, and Multipass/SSO APIs. You also have the ability to increase API call limits for private apps.
Test out new ideas or concepts in a safe environment with a development store at no extra cost. Give yourself or new staff the confidence to explore the admin in their own sandbox store.
Globalization and Multi-channel:
The wholesale channel lets you easily expand your business into wholesale by creating a separate, password-protected storefront that’s an extension of your online store. Use prices lists to create discounts for your products and individual customers. Why not check out a short demo of the wholesale channel?

In addition to your main store, Shopify Plus subscription includes 9 clone store credits (at no additional cost). These can be used to serve other regions, like ES, DE US, etc. or serve new customer segments like Influencers, B2B, etc. Expansion stores must operate under the same brand/logo.
