Make Your Shopify Store Visible to AI Shopping Agents

Shopify merchants have a head start with built-in Agentic Storefronts and UCP support. But defaults aren't enough — optimize your store to maximize AI visibility.

UCP Support

Built-in via Agentic Storefronts. Shopify natively serves a UCP manifest so AI agents can discover your catalog.

Product Schema

Theme-generated JSON-LD markup. Shopify themes automatically output Product structured data on every product page.

Crawler Access

AI-friendly robots.txt defaults. Shopify’s default configuration allows most AI crawlers to access your store.

XML Sitemap

Auto-generated product sitemap. Shopify creates and maintains your sitemap.xml with all product URLs automatically.

Shopify's Built-In Advantages

Shopify's Agentic Storefronts framework gives your store native UCP support. This means AI agents get a structured API to your product catalog — no plugins, no custom code. Enable it in your admin under Settings, and your store automatically serves a UCP manifest at /.well-known/ucp.

What Shopify provides automatically
