Buying in ChatGPT: what Shopify’s new integration means

Shopify has announced a new integration that will allow customers to make purchases directly inside ChatGPT. It’s still in the very early stages, but it’s an important signal of where commerce is heading: conversational AI is moving beyond recommendations and into transactions.
Early days, limited rollout
Right now, the scope is narrow. Shopify has confirmed the integration publicly in their announcement, and merchants can join the waitlist here to be notified as the rollout develops. The technical side is based on the Agentic Commerce Protocol feed spec, which defines how product data is passed into ChatGPT in a structured way.
For now, the feature supports simple, single-item checkouts. Multi-item carts, broader merchant access, and international availability are all still to come.
Why this matters
Even at this early stage, the direction of travel is clear. Success in AI-driven commerce will depend on the clarity and consistency of your product data. The foundations Blink has focused on for years - taxonomy, product attributes, feed hygiene, and clean site structure - are the same ones that will determine how well your products surface in ChatGPT shopping.
∙ Taxonomy that reflects customer intent
∙ Enriched, consistent product attributes
∙ Clean, deduplicated feeds that can scale
∙ Structured metadata that AI can interpret
Our focus
We’re not treating this as a bolt-on. We’re actively preparing client roadmaps around:
∙ Testing the Shopify rollout as soon as access is available
∙ Auditing product feeds for gaps and inconsistencies
∙ Standardising taxonomies and attributes to align with AI-driven discovery
∙ Monitoring how attribution and reporting may shift as purchases happen inside ChatGPT
The bigger picture
It’s too soon to know exactly how this will evolve. But it’s not too soon to prepare. Conversational commerce won’t replace traditional eCommerce overnight, but it is becoming a real channel - and those with clean, structured product data will be best placed to benefit.
We’ll keep clients updated as we learn more, but the key takeaway for now is simple: this is the start of something significant, and the groundwork is already in place.
