You know how shoppers ask ChatGPT things like “What’s a good gift for a picky dad?” or “Where can I find cozy socks that ship fast?” Now imagine that question leading straight to your product—and the shopper can buy it right from the chat window. Shopify Is Bringing Your Products to ChatGPT.
According to a recent report, Shopify and OpenAI are testing a new feature that lets ChatGPT recommend products and complete purchases—right there in the conversation.
Welcome to shopping without the shopping cart.
Wait, So ChatGPT Could Sell My Stuff?
Pretty much, yeah. Here’s the vibe: a customer chats with ChatGPT, it pulls up a product from a Shopify merchant, and includes everything—title, price, image, shipping info, and a big shiny Buy Now button. All inside the chat. No redirects. No checkout hurdles. Just smooth, AI-powered shopping. It’s like having a personal shopper who’s also your most loyal sales rep working 24/7, never missing a beat/
Why This Isn’t Just Cool
If you’re selling on Shopify, this is more than a “neat tech thing.” This could completely change how customers find your store.
Let’s break it down:
- More eyeballs, no extra ad spend – You could get surfaced just by being the right fit for someone’s question.
- Faster path to purchase – No bouncing between links. Just chat, click, boom—sale.
- Less friction = more conversions – When buying is that easy, people actually do it.
It’s AI-powered product discovery on autopilot.
How to Make Sure You’re Ready If This Rolls Out
There isn’t a launch date yet, but if Shopify’s testing it, you know the rollout is coming. So here’s how to prep like your store’s about to show up in chat:
- Polish your listings – Titles, photos, descriptions—treat them like a dating profile. First impressions matter.
- Make shipping smooth – If ChatGPT says “ships in 2 days,” make sure it does.
- Think like a question – What problems does your product solve? Be the answer they’re looking for.
Smarter Shopping Needs Smarter Ops
As AI takes over the front end, your back end has to keep up. If someone can buy your product in a few taps, you need inventory that’s accurate, fulfillment that’s fast, and operations that don’t panic when sales spike.
That’s where we come in.
