Shopify Editions Spring 2026, Everywhere, has been released, the ninth showcase of its latest products and innovations that will power the future of commerce, redefining the shopping experience, and helping merchants’ products show up everywhere.

Shopify Editions Spring 2026 introduces a new wave of business-ready AI-powered innovations that will expand upon how much merchants, developers,and partners build and grow.

Featuring more than 150 updates, this Edition includes more agentic commerce solutions, further improvements to Sidekick and makes it easier for merchants to get the insights they need to drive conversions.

Shopping is fundamentally changing, and merchants need the tools and features at their fingertips to ensure their products show up accurately and naturally everywhere consumers shop, and being on Shopify means you’re already there.

From traditional channels like desktops, phones, and retail locations to tomorrow’s devices, mediums are evolving and the ways people find brands and products are multiplying, especially into agentic AI channels. Shopify is the source of truth that binds together product data, commerce logic, and transaction context that enables consumers to shop anywhere.

This Edition we’re giving merchants the tools they need to build their foundations for agentic commerce, turning AI chats into checkouts, without losing the unique personality of the business, anywhere, and everywhere.

– Deann Evans, Managing Director, EMEA, Shopify Building the foundations of agentic commerce Managing Agentic Storefronts and Insights in Shopify Admin As AI becomes central to commerce, merchants need visibility into how it drives business outcomes.

For the first time, merchants now have one place to manage their Agentic Storefronts and insights in the Shopify Admin, giving them insight into what’s working, tools to address gaps, and one place to manage their AI presence across channels.

The upgraded Admin experience allows merchants to: See orders, sales and conversions from at a glance across AI channels. Search intelligence shows the top AI queries in a merchant’s category, including which ones they’re ranking for, and where they’re not showing up paired with actionable insights.

When products show up in AI conversations but buyers aren’t converting, Shopify Sidekick tells merchants exactly what to fix, like adding model numbers and specs to product titles to rank higher.

Shopify’s Agentic Storefronts allows merchants to manage and sell products across AI platforms including ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, Google AI Mode and Gemini as well as the Shop app. Extending Sidekick Sidekick is the AI built for commerce.

Now it’s being embedded within the Shopify Admin to deliver greater personalisation and faster activation for merchants: Merchant Admin: Within the Shopify Admin Home, Sidekick Pulse powers personalised recommendation cards, and analyses store and user data via an offline pipeline to help identify each merchant’s next best actions.

Sidekick App Extensions: Merchants and Shopify partners can now connect their third-party apps to Sidekick, creating the ability to pull data and route to the correct place in the app to take action. At launch Sidekick App Extensions will work with over 15 partner apps including Loop, Klaviyo, Judge. me, Matrixify, Avia, and Seguno.

Going forward, any app developer can build an app extension integration. Campaign Autopilot For small merchants, marketing agency budgets can often be too high. Campaign Autopilot levels the playing field by building the capabilities of a digital marketing agency into the Shopify Admin.

Merchants can run paid and organic campaigns within the budgets and guardrails they set, creating a built-in growth partner, with no expertise required. Multi-channel from day one, Campaign Autopilot has the capability to sell via campaigns on Meta, on the Shop app and via email marketing automations.

It also runs always-on in the background, testing and tuning campaigns to optimise results. More channels coming soon include Microsoft Advertising, ChatGPT Ads, and Snapchat. Storefront Agent Finding answers on products, orders, and personalised recommendations can be challenging for shoppers but now, Storefront Agent can optimise the shopping experience.

As an AI-powered storefront shopping assistant, it can give buyers the answers they’re looking for when signed in. The agent knows each store’s full catalog, policies, and brand voice, helping shoppers find the right products and complete purchases with confidence. Merchants just need to turn it on from the Admin, no app install required.

Analytics The best actions are driven by powerful insights.

To help merchants turn insights in action, a series of updates have been made to Shopify Analytics, including: Merchants can use custom data (metafields) as dimensions in Shopify Analytics (and in ShopifyQL queries) to filter and break down reports by attributes they already store on products, orders, and cus
