Shopify: AI-search drives traffic and sales, doesn't replace Google
Shopify reported in Q2 that AI-driven traffic and orders to their stores have tripled year-over-year. The company believes AI-agents complement traditional search by understanding purchase intent across multiple dimensions, not just keywords, leading to better conversion rates and shorter shopping journeys.
