Shopify stores built for the agentic era.
Custom Shopify and Shopify Plus builds where Brand Agents, Copilot Checkout, and AI-ready catalogs aren't bolted on — they're baked into the build. Fixed scope, fixed timelines, sub-2-second LCP on mobile.
What is Shopify agentic commerce, and how do you get recommended everywhere AI shops?
Shopify agentic commerce is the layer where AI assistants — not just people browsing — discover, compare, and buy your products: Brand Agents and Copilot Checkout inside your store, and AI shopping surfaces like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Google AI Overviews, and Amazon's Rufus outside it. Shopify commoditized the free setup; the work that moves revenue now is quality — an AI-ready catalog and store engineered to get your products recommended, then measured on revenue and AI citations, never impressions. One team builds the store, ships the agentic layer, and tunes for every surface AI shoppers use — Shopify, Amazon, and the assistants in between.
That agentic layer is a published, fixed-scope service: Readiness Audit $1,500–$2,500, Setup + Catalog Sprint from $4,000, and a Commerce GEO retainer from $3,000/mo. See full pricing.
What you actually need.
A truth most agencies won't tell you: for brands under $50K/month, a $30K custom build is overkill. Start with a high-performance theme — Dawn, Prestige, or Impulse — and we'll spend the budget on what actually moves revenue: CRO, catalog work, ads. Above $50K/month, custom architecture starts paying back. Above $500K/month, you're a Plus brand whether you've moved or not.

What we don't sell you.
- A 12-month "retainer" with vague deliverables. Fixed monthly cadences only.
- A 20-app bloated theme stack. We use 6–8 carefully chosen apps and explain why.
- A "discovery phase" that bills you for thinking. Scope calls are free; kickoff means we build.
- A subjective brand-book pivot. We rebuild your store, not your visual identity.
Questions we get a lot.
Do I need Shopify Plus?
For Brand Agents + Copilot Checkout, currently yes. For everything else, only if you do $500K+/month, run multiple stores, or need B2B. We'll tell you honestly if you don't need it yet.
Can you migrate me from Magento / WooCommerce?
Yes. Migration is included in Growth and Agentic-ready Plus tiers, with full 301 redirect mapping, SKU reconciliation, and customer/order history import. Adds about 1–2 weeks.
What about headless?
Available as a Plus add-on. Honest answer: most brands don't need headless — we'll quote it when you do. Sanity, Contentful, Builder.io supported.
Do you do design?
Yes — included in Growth and Plus. We don't do brand identity (logo, type, color systems); we design components, layouts, PDPs, and the customer flow.
How fast can you ship a Starter build?
3 weeks from kickoff to launch, including content migration on catalogs under 200 SKUs. Above 200 SKUs, add a week per 500 additional SKUs.
What happens after launch?
Three paths: hand off to your team with documentation; a light Essentials retainer; or a full Growth/Scale retainer integrated with Agentic Commerce Setup and Catalog Enrichment.
Will this get my store recommended by ChatGPT, Perplexity, and other AI shopping assistants?
That's the goal — and it's what the AI-ready catalog, schema, and structured-data work are for: clean, extractable product data is what AI shopping surfaces read before they recommend a brand. We can't guarantee any assistant will cite you (no honest team can), but we build to the signals these systems reward across Shopify, Amazon's Rufus, and the assistants in between, and we measure the AI citations and revenue you actually get — never impressions.
