    I wish I could easily search Shopify stores And ignore Google I think I’d find more deals that way

    Well, obviously. Slopify itself looks like an SEO website so they are well acquainted with the required tactics.

    What I cannot forgive is the Slopify code base and Ruby core sloppification dictated by Lütke.

    I hope buyers understand that ChatGPT isn’t recommending the best products or the best sellers, they are in a paid partnership with Shopify and will show products from their stores above others. Some of the best e-commerce brands I know have a custom platform or use WooCommerce.

    That’s why I’m building an open-source agent commerce chat where you can connect to any seller. It supports Openfront, our Shopify alternative, but it’s built in a way where any platform can be added as an adapter.

    I truly believe AI will replace these marketplaces and even Google Shopping and we need that way to be open, decentralized, and interoperable.

      No, this feature has been open for nearly a year. Shopify integrated it and makes it easy for their customers (the stores) to sell on ChatGPT, it doesn't mean no one else can.
