When the iOS 14 beta was originally announced, we knew we needed to take advantage of the new widget features and get something to our merchants. The new widgets looked awesome and could really give merchants a way to see their shop’s data at a glance without needing to open our app.
当iOS 14测试版最初公布时，我们知道我们需要利用新的小工具功能，给我们的商户提供一些东西。新的小工具看起来很棒，可以让商家在不需要打开我们的应用程序的情况下一目了然地看到他们商店的数据。
Fast forward a couple of years, and we now have lots of feedback from the new design. We knew merchants were using them, but they needed more. The current design was lacking and only provided two metrics—also, they took up a lot of space. This experience prompted us to start a new project. To upgrade our original design to better fit our merchant’s needs.
快进了几年，我们现在有很多来自新设计的反馈。我们知道商家们正在使用它们，但他们需要更多。目前的设计是缺乏的，只提供了两个指标--此外，它们还占用了大量的空间。这一经历促使我们开始一个新的项目。升级我们原来的设计，以更好地满足我们商家的需求。
Why Widgets Are Important to Shopify
为什么Widget对Shopify很重要
Our widgets mainly focus on analytics. Analytics can help merchants understand how they’re doing and gain insights to make better decisions quickly about their business. Monitoring metrics is a daily activity for a lot of our merchants, and on mobile, we have the opportunity to give merchants a faster way to access this data through widgets. As widgets provide access to “at a glance” information about your shop and allow merchants a unique avenue to quickly get a pulse on their shops that they wouldn’t find on desktop.
我们的小工具主要集中在分析方面。分析可以帮助商家了解他们是如何做的，并获得洞察力，以便迅速对他们的业务做出更好的决定。监测指标是我们很多商家的日常活动，在移动端，我们有机会通过小工具给商家提供一个更快的方式来访问这些数据。由于小工具提供了访问关于你的商店的 "一目了然 "的信息，并允许商家有一个独特的途径来快速获得他们的商店的脉搏，这在桌面上是找不到的。
