The pair also ask the tough questions raised by Limited Supply listeners on Shopify’s functionality.Plus you’ll hear why strong partnerships are still a huge priority, how democratizing the entrepreneurial journey was just the start, and where Shopify’s ambitions are taking them.And if you’re looking to create an app for your brand, you need Tapcart.
