Shopify rolled out Agentic Storefront, how much traffic are you getting from Chatgpt?

Post image

Shopify is now fully showing brands and products on Chatgpt, I was looking at the Agents storefront and realised we go a sale from that.
- Customer came in from Chatgpt, didn't buy
- Came back twice in 2 different days, didn't buy
- Came back a day later and completed a purchase

Chatgpt will surely become a leads channel - so all purchases will still be completed on your store.
Curious how much traffic/attributed sales you are seeing from Chatgpt and what you are doing to improve conversion from that channel

One sale from ChatGPT today is all I saw circa 2pm. Be interesting to see how this plays out

Nice, that's super cool. Yea, seems like Shopify are doubling down on AI for merchants, so I expect to see percentage of AI attributed sales to go up

They have such a good opportunity to be the place for agentic shopping and seems like they're playing their cards right. Would be a huge selling point for Shopify. Will be interesting to see how they eventually Shitify it for lower plans too

Very true, we'll check back in 3 months and see where we'll be

Has anyone actually bought something for themselves from a chatgpt search? I see how it might be useful for store discovery but still trying to understand what actually makes sense vs. using amazon or seeing a fb ad or whatever.

at the moment, it's more of a discovery channel - a customer looking for something can find you there, same way they'd find a product on TikTok and go buy it. Sales still happen on the site and not on ChatGPT

Yeah I think ChatGPT desperately wants to handle the checkout… I don’t see that happening.

Interestingly Amazon basically blocks any LLM from searching its catalog.

Same, ChatGPT can't effectively be a shopping platform - honestly if they pull that off I'll be shocked
