Automate Shopify deployment in 10 minutes

Frequently Asked Questions

• Why Shopify Plus brands are switching to Buddy?

  The tool is fast, stable, and requires no DevOps knowledge to use. The whole build process is run entirely in isolated containers which removes engineer-specific build risks. Plans are not based on deployment minutes – this cuts down the cost for companies doing high volumes of updates. Combined with 99,9% uptime (excluding scheduled maintenance), Buddy makes the ultimate Shopify deployment companion.

• What are tangible benefits of delivery automation?

  In short: it lets you ship more themes faster & make more money by reducing the risk of manual error in the delivery process. Automation is not limited to deployment only, however – with Buddy you can compile JS/CSS and test changes on every push to Git, run integration and browser tests, automatically notify clients of new versions, and much more. Whatever your workflow is, Buddy adapts to it.

• Can I test my theme before the release?

  Yes, you can run all types of testing: unit tests, static analysis with ESLint, integration tests that will check if everything works according to the scenario, E2E tests with Cypress.io, or browser tests with Selenium.

• Is Buddy free?

  Buddy offers a free tier with 5 projects and 120 deployments per month. You can upgrade to a higher plan with unlimited deployments at any time. All new accounts start with 14 days of trial, allowing you for intense and unrestricted testing.
