Shopify Magic & Sidekick

Native AI inside Shopify

Use Shopify Magic and Sidekick before adding another general AI subscription: they already understand the store context and can support content, analysis, setup, and selected admin actions.

Why this fits

Start with the intelligence already inside the store.

Shopify Magic adds AI assistance across content and media workflows, while Sidekick works as a commerce-aware assistant inside Shopify admin. This is the practical starting layer for a Shopify merchant because it reduces setup and uses existing store context.

The trade-off

Convenient context does not remove the need for review.

What you gain
  • Use commerce-aware AI without another standalone subscription.
  • Create content and media, analyse store questions, and complete supported admin work from the existing platform.
What you sacrifice
  • Features and limits vary by Shopify plan and release.
  • AI output and proposed changes still require merchant review.
