Chat GPT + Shopify Development = Bliss

The other day, a client with a shopify store asked for a new section for their site that they can reuse throughout the site.

Usually this would mean, building the front-end static code, js, and css followed by making it editable within Shopify with a bunch of schema and liquid code.

However, I was shocked when I found that pasting the brief from the client into chat gpt spat out all of the schema needed to make the section editable. That saved an hour or so, I was then able to give Chat GPT the front-end static html and css I had put together based on the designs prvided by the client, then I asked it to make it dynamic using the schema it had written. BOOM all the liquid code was in, just like that!

Finally I gave it instructions for the interactive elements of the section that required javascript.

Before I knew it, I had a section, ready to put into the theme with very few tweaks left over.

This probably saved me in excess of 5 hours, the end result was the same if not a little more efficient in code quality than I could have done if I'd rushed the work.

The client still paid the same for the same end result.

Faster development will always = more money and profit. Don't punish yourself with hourly billing!
