Product @ Shopify. 🛒 Improving Your Conversion, One Checkout at a Time | When offline, I swap code for compost 🥕
Your agent can now search billions of products, build carts, and check out Join @liam_at_shopify, @justatvix, and @ravitheja22 as they go deep on features like image search, product lookup, and the new UCP CLI x.com/i/spaces/1Oxwb…
Last month, we opened Shopify Catalog to all developers. And soon, they’ll be able to earn commission on sales their shopping experiences drive. Build it and earn from it. Devs, if you’re not building with UCP yet, now’s the time.
You don't want to miss this: we just dropped @Shopify's Spring ’26 Edition. 150+ updates! It's EVERYWHERE 😁 My faves are on 🧵 starting with Agentic Storefronts, a new section in the admin for full visibility and control.
Shopify is building the foundation for agentic commerce. Universal Commerce Protocol, which we co-developed with Google, is now live. UCP will make it faster for agents and retailers to integrate. It’s open by default, so platforms and agents can use UCP to start transacting with any merchant. Major retailers are already using it. Agents can handle everything from discovery to fulfillment, and support things like discounts, subscriptions, and loyalty programs. We’ve accounted for all types of commerce.
Dropping another internal Context episode. @vlaurenlee and I talk about how she ascended Shopify from senior PM to leading all of product. Vanessa is brilliant. Worth a watch for any builders.
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 @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.
