Employment onboarding & training (E-commerce)
If you’ve came this far: You’re still not done learning ;) But at least now you get paid to learn.
We expect “non-technical” employees to solve problems with tech/code.
This page is a list of knowledge we expect employees to acquire over time, and also a list of practical coding challenges which can be used to both automate useful tasks in the business and be educational for the employee.
You should know/understand
- Shopify’s product taxonomy, Product Category replaces need for product type
- translate and adapt app to translate store content, both text and images.
- Different country level domains famme.no (Norwegian), fammestore.dk (Danish), famme.se (Swedish) etc.
- Relative URLs and why they are important, for example keep customer on the right domain when following links
- URL redirects, and how they can be used to create nice short URLs for marketing purposes: /outlet -> /collections/outlet
- URL redirects, how they can be used to send to external urls: /rules -> https://drive.google.com/…. if some pdf we want to share is hosted on google drive
- Multifeeds app. How it creates a product feed per country, a tsv file. How the settings in the app affects the feed file created
- Google reads the feed (tsv file) and puts it in merchants.google.com which again is integrated with ads.google.com to show products in google shopping
- Search & discovery app, how it is used for filtering and search and how to group values, for example color. Group “Red” = “Red”, “Burgundy”, “Wine” etc.
- Metafields: Extra fields for products, customer, variants etc. when the standard fields are not enough.
- How export and import works in Shopify and pitfalls to avoid

Thoughts about open cube storage
Open cube storage
Autostore is starting to get some competitors in the cube storage space. But none of these systems are open, and changing from one system to the other means you would scrap the whole system.
The solution to this is to have a more open system where bins, grids and ports are standardized. In addition there should be an API for controlling the robots and moving bins around the grid.
