Shopify launches AI Store Builder that creates full online stores from keywords, cutting setup time and streamlining e-commerce for merchants worldwide.
-On Wednesday, Shopify rolled out an innovative generative artificial intelligence feature designed to transform how merchants build their online stores. The new AI Store Builder allows sellers to create complete e-commerce websites by simply entering descriptive keywords.
This tool generates three distinct store layouts, including images and text, tailored to the keywords provided. By doing so, it helps merchants drastically reduce the time and resources traditionally needed to design their websites.
First Fully Automated Store Setup on Shopify
While Shopify has long provided AI-powered tools and third-party applications to assist merchants in building their stores, the AI Store Builder marks the platform’s first fully integrated feature that automates the entire website setup process.
Vanessa Lee, Vice President of Product at Shopify, explained, “Instead of just having a merchant click and drag and fill out text fields on how they want their site to look – which can be really daunting for some – we thought why not ask them more open-ended questions and set up their store in the best likeness we can imagine, using AI.”
Shopify’s Strong Commitment to AI Innovation
Shopify continues to invest heavily in AI technologies to attract and support more merchants on its platform. Its expanding suite of AI tools ranges from image generation to inventory management, all aimed at making e-commerce easier and more efficient for business owners.
With this new AI Store Builder, Shopify is poised to redefine how merchants create and manage their online storefronts, offering a seamless and smarter approach to launching digital businesses.
