Overview

Shopify Sidekick is Shopify's native AI commerce assistant available to all merchants at no additional cost. It uses conversational AI to help merchants manage their stores more efficiently — from generating product descriptions and marketing copy to analyzing sales data and suggesting optimizations. Sidekick understands your specific store context, inventory, and customer behavior, making its suggestions highly personalized rather than generic. Merchants can ask Sidekick to draft email campaigns, adjust pricing strategies, create discount codes, analyze seasonal trends, and troubleshoot store issues through natural conversation. For agentic commerce, Sidekick represents Shopify's bet on AI-first commerce management, positioning every Shopify store as an AI-powered operation. As Shopify powers millions of online stores, Sidekick's reach makes it one of the most widely deployed AI commerce assistants globally.
