# Shopify (agentic storefronts and Catalog): what it does and what it costs

## In short

Shopify merchants' catalogs are already connected to ChatGPT, and Microsoft enrolled Shopify stores in Copilot Checkout automatically. The Fall '26 Edition adds selling in Google AI Mode and the Gemini app, and Shop Pay checkout in agents such as Muse and Claude Duet. Merchants manage the AI channels and review what agents are told from the admin.

## What it does not do

-   Shopify does not leave AI channels off by default; merchants manage them with controls in the admin after being enrolled.
-   Shopify's Catalog does not include stores that fail its eligibility rules; the admin shows what to change.
