Shopify merchants will be able to sell in Google AI Mode and the Gemini app, powered by UCP. Earlier this week, we also launched checkout in Microsoft Copilot, and ChatGPT started rolling out last year. Merchants have control over the AI platforms they sell through and can turn them on or off in the admin.

Shopify is the epicenter of the AI era. Our merchants are among the first to sell in AI channels, with Shopify powering the full end-to-end commerce journey. Over 1 billion products are surfaced in AI chats through the Shopify Catalog, so they show up with accurate and up to date information. Our AI-powered tools blend two decades of commerce intelligence with completely personalized guidance for each merchant. Our merchants aren't just keeping up. They're better positioned than anyone who isn't on Shopify. Great conversation as always, Jim Cramer.

ChatGPT already helps millions of people find what to buy. Now it can help them buy it too. We’re introducing Instant Checkout in ChatGPT with Etsy and Shopify, and open-sourcing the Agentic Commerce Protocol that powers it, built with Stripe, so more merchants and developers can integrate agentic checkout.

The Universal Commerce Protocol with Shopify Catalog is now open to every developer. Since we announced UCP in January, it’s been powering agentic commerce across some of the biggest AI platforms in the world. Now, new tools are available to anyone who wants to build a shopping experience. That means a solo developer has the same commerce layer as the largest tech companies on the planet. One protocol. Millions of merchants. Billions of products. And every new experience a developer builds? That's a win for merchants too. More places for people to discover and buy their products. Nothing to set up. Commerce that can show up anywhere, inside anything, built by anyone.

Agents will become a common way people shop. So today we are releasing 3 tools to make adding commerce to those agents trivial: - Checkout Kit: embed commerce widgets and checkout(!) directly into your agent and chat. This is already being used by Microsoft’s Microsoft Copilot. - Shopify Catalog: low latency global product search across millions of merchants - Universal Cart: shop from any store, anywhere, in one cart With these, you can build seamless embedded commerce experiences quickly, starting with all the best products by the best merchants in the world instead of having to sign them all up individually. No need to build a complex new checkout, or dealing with regulatory marketplace rules. Commerce just plugs in and feels seamless in conversations. We believe commerce should be everywhere people are, so we’re making that as easy as possible for the AI age.

AI is high-speed rail for commerce. Shopping is about to get faster, easier, with less disruptions. But trains don't go anywhere without the right tracks. That's what Shopify has built. And that's why our merchants will be the first to arrive.

Why do we need a purpose-built blockchain for agentic payments? Because AI agents are now smart enough to operate autonomously, and they need their own rails to transact with each other. Watch the video to see what that looks like in action: A real agent, built on Kite AI, helped our CTO Scott Shi - e/acc order lunch from Uber Eats fully on its own. It explored menu options, made the choice, and completed the payment - all without human intervention. This marks the beginning of agentic commerce and the future of agentic payments - and Kite AI is building this.

This is the next big step in the ‘shop while you watch’ era of commerce. Today, all eligible Shopify Plus and Advanced merchants in the US can sign up for the YouTube Shopping affiliate program. Shopify merchants can now work with thousands of YouTube creators who then can tag your products in their videos and live streams, and people can shop while they watch. This is going to be major for merchants AND creators.

Just jumped off the Shopify Q3 Earnings call. If you missed it, I'll summarize: Q3 was an incredible quarter for Shopify. Here are the highlights of Q3 2024 Shopify: 1️⃣ Financially, it was a strong quarter. 🚀 GMV was up 24% Year over Year in Q3 - the 5th consecutive quarter where GMV growth was more than 20% 🚀 Revenue accelerated to 26% - the 6th consecutive quarter where Shopify delivered 25% or greater top-line growth, excluding logistics 🚀 Gross profit grew 24% Year over Year 🚀 Our Free Cash Flow Margin expanded to 19% which means we’re delivering profitability that allows us to both grow the business and invest in the future of commerce. 2️⃣ We’ve built the most integrated platform on the planet where everything in your business works together really really well. ⚡ Shopify POS is powering more and more large, complex, multi-location merchants like legendary Canadian women's fashion retailer, Laura, which migrated over 130 stores to Shopify’s POS in Q3. ⚡ We are making every part of commerce work better. This quarter we helped merchants make in-person shopping truly delightful by expanding Tap to Pay in more countries. ⚡ And, we’re making it easier for our merchants to sell in new countries with our Managed Markets product, which has helped some merchants see an average global sales increase of 40%. The power of our platform is unmatched. 3️⃣ Shopify is increasingly the go-to platform of choice not just for entrepreneurship, but for all of commerce. We are making massive strides across our long-term growth drivers like B2B, international, enterprise, and offline commerce. 🚀 We had our single largest B2B GMV month ever, with it growing over 145% Year over Year. This is a trend at this point, marking 5 consecutive quarters of triple digit B2B GMV growth. 🚀 International GMV continues to outpace the growth of North America accelerating to more than 30% and our international merchants grew 36% Year over Year. 🚀 In Q3 alone we had 16 enterprise launches on Shopify, including brands like Hanes and On Running. The best brands like Reebok, and Victoria’s Secret and high fashion brands like FashionPhile and Off-white are all coming to Shopify. Our mission has always been the same: make commerce better for everyone and, ultimately, create more entrepreneurs across the world and help them grow bigger and faster. We are doing exactly that. We are focused on helping merchants of all sizes thrive today and in the future. It’s why you see brands come to us and never leave. Thank you to everyone on the Shopify team, our partners, and our incredible community for an exceptional quarter.

Shopify just dropped something MASSIVE The new Shopify AI Toolkit lets you manage and build on Shopify with your favourite agent, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Gemini CLI, Codex, and more. It connects your AI tool directly to Shopify’s docs, schemas, validation, and store management capabilities. (Shopify) I built a fully customised homepage and product page with it, and this changes everything. Store builds are about to get faster, smarter, and way more custom. Say goodbye to page builders and paid themes #Shopify #AItools #Ecommerce
