Shopify Sidekick building a retail store, online and in person

What you’ll see

AI that does the hard parts of getting your shop online and in person

Most retailers hit the same wall at step one: "I don't know how to build a website. Do I have to hire someone? And what even is POS?" In about 15 minutes, we'll show you how Shopify's AI handles the build, the POS setup, and the busywork, so you can focus on running your store.

Build

Build your store without a developer

Start from scratch or hand Sidekick your existing website, and watch it build your pages, turn a phone photo into a polished product shot, and write your product descriptions in your voice. No code, no agency, no blank screen.

Sell everywhere

Set up point of sale in minutes

See how your online store connects to in-person selling with Shopify POS: one catalog, one inventory that syncs automatically, and one view of every customer. Control what sells online versus in store, with no double entry.

STAY IN CONTROL

Run your shop and know what's working

Plug in your social channels, then run the day-to-day just by asking: put a collection on sale, get an alert when stock runs low, or see how many sales came from Instagram versus email. Answers and actions in plain English, no analyst required.
