Shopify's Agentic Storefronts feature allows merchants to sell directly within ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, and Google Gemini — AI interfaces are becoming direct commerce channels. Orders starting from AI search increased 15-fold year-over-year, representing a fundamental shift in the purchase funnel: buyers never leave the AI interface to complete transactions. Shopify Q4 2025 revenue hit $3.67B (+31% YoY), with merchant solutions growing 35% vs subscription solutions at 17% — signaling the platform is becoming a commerce infrastructure layer, not just a storefront SaaS tool.
