Install the first-party Shopify plugin for ChatGPT once, then tag @Shopify in any message to build or manage your store from a ChatGPT conversation.
Do I need a Shopify store to start?
No. You can create a new store right from ChatGPT by describing your business idea, preview different designs, and claim one to start selling. Already have a store? Connect and manage it by installing the plugin.
Can I use the Shopify plugin for ChatGPT with more than one store?
Yes. Ask to switch between stores in a chat message. You'll need to approve access to each additional store before you can manage it from ChatGPT.
Do I have to type @Shopify every time?
The tag is what connects the conversation to your store. Without it, ChatGPT answers from general knowledge, which is helpful but not personalized to your business. With it, the plugin can read your real products, orders, and sales data, and make changes when you ask.
What does the plugin cost? Is there a trial?
Using the plugin is completely free, whether you're starting a new store or connecting an existing one. If you claim a new store from ChatGPT, you can start with a 4-month Shopify plan trial.
Can I use the Shopify plugin in Work and Codex?
Yes. The ChatGPT app has three modes: Chat, Work, and Codex. Tag @Shopify in any of them to build and manage your store, with the same products, orders, and data connected throughout.
Does it work in the web and desktop apps?
Yes. Install the plugin once and tag @Shopify to manage your store from either the web or desktop app.
Will my products show up when customers shop with AI?
Yes, for eligible stores. While you build and run your store in the chat, your products can also be discovered by customers shopping with AI through Agentic Storefronts, set up by default for eligible stores.
