Hello! I'm Tucker, Product Manager on Frenzy. Frenzy came to be from one of Shopify's quarterly hackdays projects, with the goal of changing flash sales for both merchants and consumers forever. Frenzy is the best way to buy from brands you love. Whether you’re looking to buy rare products, discover new ones, or learn about new brands, Frenzy is the place to do it. Rather than waiting in line at a retail store, missi…

This looks cool. Shopify seems to be one of / the most competent players in the eComm space. Wonder if it will pan out successfully.

>>can't put tracking JS on checkout pages Holy shit, that sounds awful. How do you perform conversion optimization if you can't do tracking on checkout pages?
