Shopify
Introduction of the portal
Shopify developers is at the top of Shopify's app supply funnel and is the first formal communication channel with new developers. It is the primary tool by which Shopify establishes developer brand, outlines the opportunity that the platform offers, and signs up those who are inspired. The portal is also the entry point to later stages in the developer experience including onboarding, API reference documentation, and guides.

"Shopify's developer portal is very inspiring! I appreciate how upfront and open they are about how much developers are making on their platform, and how easy it is to find docs around what to build with their APIs. Also, I like that they feature actual developers in their program on the portal. Hearing from real developers, and not just the company, makes me want to check-out their developer program."
