Practical, plain-English guides for store owners who want ChatGPT and other AI shopping assistants to find, understand and recommend their products.
Shopify catalogs are already connected to ChatGPT shopping. Here's what that means, what still decides whether your products show up, and a step-by-step checklist to improve your odds.
Which AI bots crawl online stores, what each one does, and exactly how to allow the shopping and search crawlers in robots.txt (including Shopify's robots.txt.liquid).
The Product structured data fields AI shopping assistants rely on (price, availability, brand, GTIN, reviews, shipping, returns), with copy-paste JSON-LD for Shopify Liquid and plain HTML.
What GTIN, UPC, EAN and MPN mean, why AI shopping agents use them to match and compare products, how to get legitimate barcodes from GS1, and how to add them in Shopify.
An honest look at llms.txt, the proposed plain-text file that summarizes a site for AI models: what it is, what's known about adoption, how to add one to Shopify, and a store template.
