What Sidekick does
Shopify describes Sidekick as an AI-powered commerce assistant in its admin. It can help with store guidance, content and tasks using store context. Check the current Shopify documentation for availability and the capabilities enabled for your account.
Try a specific task
Ask it to help understand a store workflow or create a draft product description. Supply verified product information. A useful assistant should make the next step clearer and let you review consequential changes.
Check the boundaries
AI-generated content needs an editorial check. Confirm product specifications, delivery promises, returns information and any claims before a customer sees them. Review requested changes and permissions carefully.
Look beyond the assistant
Evaluate checkout, inventory, payment options, integrations and ongoing costs as well. Sidekick is one input to a platform decision, not a replacement for testing the full store.
