Vendor profile, commerce platform
Shopify
In short
Shopify syndicates merchant catalogues to ChatGPT, Google AI Mode and Gemini, Copilot, Perplexity and the Shop app through its Agentic plan, which plugs into a brand's PIM, tax and order systems. The plan has no monthly fee and charges when products sell, with no rate stated. Orders finish in the merchant's Shopify checkout, never on the AI surface.

What it does not do
- Shopify does not make the AI surface the merchant of record; the merchant's own Shopify checkout completes the order.
- Shopify's Agentic plan page does not state the rate charged when a product sells; it says only that there is no monthly fee and that brands pay when their products sell.
