Hey Shopify team - as someone who works with a bunch of manufacturers who have started in marketplace e-commerce, you could get huge clients if you could connect seamlessly to ChannelAdvisor, the enterprise level multi-channel inventory manager. ChannelAdvisor has been promising a Magento plug-in since last year, but have run into problems with all the Magento versions. They connect to Amazon Webstore, but that has its own problems. If Shopify easily integrated, it would be a game changer for CA customers.
Stay tuned!
Thanks for the tip.
This type of integration will be very much possible once Shopify supports the creation of orders through its API.
http://www.jetcooper.com for more color.
I wonder if this means Shopify will start doing per-customer custom theme development themselves.
No. We would be crazy to do anything bad for our incredible third party network at http://experts.shopify.com . We are super proud of what we archived here. Last year more than $18m was billed for Shopify work through this community.
Crazy. A lot of young talent at Jet Cooper.
Can anyone explain what Jet Cooper is?
They are a design agency in Toronto, noted for their work in the startup community.
Its interesting when a Saas company aquire-hire's an agency, I wonder what will happen to all of the other e-commerce clients that Jet Cooper was working with that don't use Shopify.
I also wonder if I was the only one that misread and thought the Shopify had acquired a Jet-Copter and thought, those boys up there in Canada are getting a little too big for their britches.

Having never heard of Jet Cooper, I thought it was a cute way of saying Shopify hired a guy named Jet Cooper.
Congrats Jet Cooper!
This is great for Toronto's design and dev communities as well :)

Neat - so I guess they will stay in Toronto?
Shopify HQ is in Ottawa w/ about 240 people. Shopify's Toronto team (about 15 people) will be moving into Jet Cooper's office. This will grow Shopify Toronto to ~40 people.
Do you happen to know if Shopify is currently looking for interns/part-time employees? (I'm a high school student in Toronto)
They're always looking for skilled developers and aren't too picky about age as long as you've got chops. They tend to be receptive to unconventional job applications.
Yes. Drop me a line at [email protected]
Speaking as Shopify's only high school student intern: yes, if you have talent.
