#2I 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.

#5I wish I could easily search Shopify stores And ignore Google I think I’d find more deals that way

#6Well, 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.

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.

We all want to search in a trusted way. Mistrust gets in the way of sales.
But nobody wants that. They want you to buy their product, not the best product. I rarely see a store where you can filter some characteristic OUT of search results.

You still have to apply and this still makes ChatGPT the gate keeper for which shops and platforms they want to support. As far as I know, the open-source alternatives like Medusa and Woocommerce are not on ChatGPT. Do you read the things you post?

And my chat allows the whole checkout process in the chat, not just link to it.
