Roadmap · Updated October 2026

What's live now.
And what comes next.

211 lessons are live. The theme path has all five modules, and the app path has 43 lessons where you build one real app on your own store.

The learnshopify.dev lesson interface: a task brief on the left, a Liquid editor in the middle, and a live Northwind Coffee Co storefront preview on the right.

The app path

A path is separate from the five theme modules. You build one real thing from start to finish on your own Shopify store. You can start it any time; you don't need the theme modules first.

Path · Build one real app

Shopify App Development with AI

Live

43 lessons · all live

You build one real app, a bundle app, on your own free Shopify development store. An AI coding agent writes the code. You decide what it builds and check its work. You build the admin page where bundles are made and the code that turns them into one item in the cart. Then you test the app, put it online and install it on a second store of yours.

Included in Pro and Founder.

Every step is checked on your own store and your own code. A small command line tool runs the checks on your computer.
