This prestigious award is presented annually by Shopify to celebrate the most outstanding use of Liquid on the platform. Our collaboration with P448 was selected as the single best Liquid build of the past 12 months, a testament to the technical depth, creative execution, and seamless user experience delivered by our team.
The award was personally presented by Shopify President Harley Finkelstein to our Co-Founder and Managing Director James Trippett, live on stage at Editions.Dev, Shopify’s exclusive developer summit. Held on May 29–30, 2025 at Toronto’s Allstream Centre (part of the wider Shopify Summit), the event invited developers, agencies, and product teams to get hands-on with new tools and connect directly with the platform’s leadership.
In a powerful endorsement of our work, Harley introduced the storefront by stating:
“No matter which stack you use, Liquid or Hydrogen, this storefront sets the new standard.”
Editions.Dev marked a highlight of the Shopify calendar—bringing together thousands of builders for workshops, keynote sessions, networking, and exclusive access to the latest Shopify platform updates . With the event located at Toronto’s Allstream Centre and featuring an official welcome party on May 29, the energy was high as attendees immersed themselves in masterclasses, demos, roundtables, and more .
This backdrop made the award ceremony all the more special: receiving a platform-wide professional accolade at such a technically driven, high-impact event is a significant honour—and a public validation among peers and leadership.
At By Association Only, we specialise in delivering creatively progressive and technically elegant Shopify experiences for the world’s most design-conscious luxury brands. Our work with P448 is a prime example—pushing the boundaries of frontend design while ensuring a frictionless, performant backend that supports a high-growth, global retail brand.
This recognition is also a celebration of the incredible collaboration that powered the project. From the visionary team at P448 to our valued partners at Vervaunt, the project was shaped by a shared commitment to building something bold, beautiful, and best-in-class.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to Shopify, and in particular to Harley Finkelstein, Tobias Lütke, Glen Coates, and Liam Griffin for the honour. To have our work acknowledged by the very leaders of the platform is both humbling and motivating.
This milestone comes on the heels of another major achievement—our recognition earlier this year as EMEA’s first Platinum Shopify Plus Partner. Together, these accolades reflect the calibre of our team, the trust of our clients, and our ongoing pursuit of design and technical innovation in eCommerce.
We’re excited for what lies ahead—and as always, we remain committed to pushing the limits of what’s possible on Shopify.
