Agentic Commerce for Shopify – selling via AI agents

Ecommerce is moving from click-based purchases to agent-driven purchasing processes. With Agentic Commerce, AI agents can not only recommend products, but also perform actions directly in Shopify — like creating shopping carts, retrieving prices, checking inventory, and completing purchases.

This is made possible through Shopify's new Agents API, which allows external and internal AI agents to interact securely and structuredly with your store.

What is Shopify Agentic Commerce?

Shopify Agents is a technical framework that enables AI agents to perform commercial actions on behalf of a customer. Agents can use defined capabilities and actions to:

• Search the product catalog
• Interpret variants, prices and availability
• Creating and updating shopping carts
• Complete purchases in a controlled and secure manner

This means that the customer journey can happen outside of the online store, for example in ChatGPT, Copilot, or other AI interfaces — but still be fully integrated into Shopify.

Why this is important now
AI assistants are quickly becoming a new starting point for purchases. When customers ask an agent “what product should I buy?”, the agent will only be able to shop in stores that are technically prepared for this.

With Agentic Commerce you can:

• Make your products available for AI-based commerce
• Reduce friction in the buying process by letting the agent do the work
• Ensuring that AI interactions actually result in measurable orders
• Staying technically ahead of competitors in a new channel shift
