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, missing out online, or simply forgetting about a sale – Frenzy puts the hype of the best product releases in your pocket. When you buy from a seller on Frenzy, it’s just like buying from them in person – but you can do it anywhere in the world.
Frenzy will be launching this week with merchants Kith, Love Your Melon, Raised by Wolves, Off the Hook, and more, who will be selling products exclusively on the app.

So I was attempting to decipher this sentence, which while apparently written in English, appears to be incomprehensible. I've identified the subject as "Frenzy" and the verb as "puts" and the object as "hype" but then I got a little lost and wandered off.
In all seriousness, learning how to present product in way that's free from content free superlatives and meaningless phrases will help greatly in communicating with customers.
Seems to me that the opinion of someone running an agency that, among other things, implements Shopify integrations, would fall under the general category of customer feedback.
Working at a Shopify expert company [1], I'm curious about Frenzy's relation to / integration with the rest of the Shopify platform, and e.g. whether it will be possible to manage via (additions to) the Shopify API? Is this currently intended only for high-volume retailers, or the entire long-tail of the Shopify customer base?
Out of curiosity could anyone build an app like this with Shopify's apis?
Or does it rely on internal private Shopify functionality?
I've wanted to integrate with Shopify but seem to get confused by the limitations.
For one, it would be cool if the sellers had the options to let their products be on an open market place where anyone could write an application and sell their products for commission.
well not quite anyone... you need to be approved to be able to use the sales-channel-sdk.
To date I haven't been approved, which is one of the reasons why after 10+ years of using shopify we're moving off the platform. Biggest reason is limited API calls even on the Shopify Enterprise Plan...
Shopify is a great option if you've got a few skus, e.g. want to sell a few T-Shirts, however try to do anything complicated (like merging customer accounts, editing orders etc, even changing a billing address of an order) and it falls over :(
