How AI is Changing Shopify: The Future of eCommerce

Shopify AI.... it's Magic!

Shopify has recently unveiled a groundbreaking feature release, with AI taking centre stage! Shopify Magic is a whole suite of free AI-enabled features that are integrated across Shopify's products and workflows, designed to make it easier for small business owners to start, run, and grow their online business.

Automatic text generation

Merchants can use Shopify Magic automatic text generation to help speed up the writing process. Leveraging AI, Shopify Magic uses information provided to generate suggestions for content such as product descriptions, email subject lines, and headings in your online store.

These new features include:

• Blog post generation
• Page content
• AI-generated emails for eCommerce
• Product descriptions
• Chatbot
• Theme editor

Coming Soon!! Shopify Sidekick

Enter Shopify's latest game-changer: Sidekick, an innovative AI feature designed to revolutionize how merchants manage their online store.

Part of the Magic AI suite, Sidekick a conversational AI assistant that's trained to be your very own Shopify and eCommerce expert. Think Chat GPT for eCommerce!!

Sidekick will assist and mentor new entrepreneurs as they set up, manage, and scale their stores. It offers an expert hand with inventory management, customer interactions, and marketing insights and trend predictions.

Shopify Magic is powered by proprietary Shopify data, like merchant business data, with large language models (LLMs) like OpenAI's ChatGPT.

By leveraging that data and those models, Shopify Magic can now generate blog posts for holidays, business milestones, and campaigns, allowing merchants to customize the tone of voice and translate it into multiple languages. Magic can also create customer emails from short prompts, automatically writing newsletters and announcements.

Sidekick also has the power to modify Shopify merchant shop designs. It can add product collections to a home page or suggest themes and copy for a hero banner.

In a recent demo video featuring Shopify co-founder and CEO Tobi Lütke, Sidekick answers a series of questions from a snowsports supply merchant. In response to a question about why sales dropped from March to July, Sidekick demonstrated that minimal snow probably played a role, providing a month-by-month graph. The merchant asks Sidekick to "put everything on sale," and the intelligent AI suggests a 10% automatic discount on all products in the store.

Sidekick can also modify Shopify merchant shop designs. This feature can, among other things, add product collections to home pages and suggest themes and copy for hero banners.

The rise of AI on Shopify

Shopify Magic and Sidekick are not just AI features; they are designed for Bepartner merchants as they grow their businesses. By leveraging eCommerce and advanced machine learning, online retailers are empowered to make informed decisions, enhance customer experiences, and stay ahead of industry trends.
