Shopify says orders from AI search rose 3.3 times in a year

Two more claims matter to anyone paying for traffic. Against organic search, meaning unpaid search results, AI-referred sessions had a 64 per cent edge in conversion, according to Shopify. Its figure for direct landings on product pages from AI channels is three times organic search’s rate. Both figures are Shopify’s own, and the company left out how it decides a visit came from AI.

Revenue rose 32 per cent to $3.74 billion, just under the $3.75 billion analysts expected, and shares fell 8.74 per cent on Tuesday, CNBC reports. BetaKit puts the fall in a wider tech sell-off.

A product page that takes those visitors needs clean images, and those are cheap to produce. At our 3 November check, Photoroom Pro cost $12.99 a month, or $7.50 on yearly billing, and Pebblely Lite cost $9, or $7.50 (our product photography tools).

With Shopify reporting that AI channels send shoppers straight to product pages at three times organic search’s rate, the product page has to answer what a brand’s home page used to, and on Shopify’s conversion figure it receives shoppers more ready to buy.
