The search gap
Shoppers describe a need. Help them turn it into a product choice.
Your customers think in goals, budgets, occasions, and tradeoffs. Your search should understand those signals too.

How Shopify AI Search helps shoppers find the right products.
Shoply combines semantic search, product ranking, AI summaries, and relevant filters to help shoppers find and compare products in your catalog.
01
Understand shopper intent
Use semantic search to match what shoppers mean, even when they use everyday descriptions or incomplete search phrases.
02
Rank relevant products
Rank products using search relevance, product attributes, availability, sales, reviews, and shopper engagement—not just exact keyword matches.
03
Explain the results
Help shoppers compare products with an AI summary explaining why the results match their search.
04
Reveal useful filters
Shoply AI learns from your product information to show relevant filters for each search, without you having to configure them manually.
05
Match products to shopper needs
Help shoppers find suitable products by describing their needs, such as a gift, a budget, or an experience level, even without a product name.
06
Search across languages
Let shoppers search your catalog in their preferred language and receive answers in that language.
Why choose Shoply for your store?
Shoply AI Search vs. Shopify Search & Discovery.
Give shoppers more help choosing, with AI explanations, automatically learned filters, and follow-up answers in the same search journey. Here is what Shoply adds to your store’s product discovery experience.
| What matters | Shopify Search & Discovery | Shoply AI Search |
|---|---|---|
| Filters without manual setup | You manually maintain which filters your store offers. Choose and configure filters from product options, metafields, or metaobjects. Shopify shows only filters applicable to the results. | Shoply learns relevant filter attributes autonomously. Shoppers get ways to narrow each search without you manually defining those filters. |
| Help shoppers compare | Shoppers may not understand why the recommended products fit their needs. | AI summaries explain why products fit. Shoppers can understand differences and compare options before opening each product page. |
| Answer the next question | No built-in chat for follow-up questions. Shoppers need another way to ask for help choosing a product. | Search connects directly to AI Chat. Shoppers can ask follow-up questions when they need help deciding. |
| LLM re-ranking | You tune relevance with synonyms and product boosts. Synonyms connect search terms; boosts promote products for chosen terms. Semantic search adds meaning-based matching on eligible stores. | Our fine-tuned LLM re-ranks shortlisted products. After initial ranking, Shoply’s proprietary large language model (LLM) checks each shortlisted product against the shopper’s full request. It can remove irrelevant products and prioritize especially close matches—for example, distinguishing skis with bindings from bindings sold separately. Store-specific search instructions can guide this assessment. |
| Control product ranking | You can boost products for specific search terms. Shopify also adjusts ranking based on products, collections, and customer activity. | Adjust the factors behind Shoply’s ranking. Choose how much each factor influences product order to suit your store’s priorities. Read our product ranking guide to understand how relevance, sales, reviews, stock, and shopper activity shape results. |
Comparison covers the documented Search & Discovery app features, not every Shopify product or third-party theme extension. Sources: Shopify search features and eligibility, filter configuration, and storefront search. Preview Shoply on your theme with your own shopper searches before switching.
The result is more than a grid
AI search summaries and product filters.
A useful search result should help the shopper understand why the products fit and what to compare next.
01 · AI summary
Translate the query into useful buying guidance
In this animated “beginner skis” example, the summary explains easy turning and forgiving flex. It highlights differences between options, helping shoppers understand what to compare before choosing.
AI Summary ✦
For beginner skis, look for easy turning, a forgiving flex, and a stable feel to help build confidence on the slopes. Here are a few options to compare:
Atomic Bent 85: A playful option for exploring different terrain. Consider it if you want room to develop your skills beyond your first turns.
Atomic Bent 90: A wider alternative to compare if you want versatility for occasional adventures away from groomed runs.
Black Crows Captis Birdie: An option to compare for smooth, forgiving turns. Check the available length against your height and experience.
K2 Reckoner 92: A playful twin-tip option for shoppers interested in exploring different conditions as their confidence grows.
Head Absolut Joy with Bindings: Consider this package if you want bindings included, rather than choosing them separately.
Mostly skiing groomed runs? Use the Terrain filter to focus your options. Then compare ski length and whether bindings are included. Check boot compatibility and have a qualified ski shop set up your bindings before heading out.
02 · Relevant results
Pair product matches with filters that matter
Watch the demo reveal terrain, price, skill level, and bindings options, then narrow the product selection. Relevant filters help shoppers refine their search without starting again. See how Shoply creates search filters from product attributes.

I have loved seeing this AI help our customers find products, understand more about a product and it helps us gather more info from a customer to allow us to quote them more easily for a custom item.
Adding info to the knowledge base is great — I have told our AI to always ask a client's name and email before providing an answer. This way we can always follow up with a client if we need to provide more information.
I love where AI is taking Ecommerce — and this app is a no brainer for a quick win!

We were extremely skeptical of AI chat solutions in general — we'd tried a few and been burned hard on the immense training needed. Not so with Shoply AI — this app is set up to read our Shopify data seamlessly, and is incredibly easy to update and maintain.
We're super pleased with the results so far, and are excited to see how else we can leverage this brilliantly-designed tool!

This AI bot is truly impressive and works even better than I expected. What really stands out is the developer's dedication — always quick to respond, very supportive, and open to feedback. Even small bugs or improvement suggestions get handled right away, which makes the whole experience feel professional and trustworthy.
Highly recommended for anyone looking for a reliable AI tool!

Which Shopify themes work with AI Search?

Related:Search setup and troubleshooting
How should I test AI Search before launch?
Try exact product names, everyday descriptions, budget limits, and searches with several requirements. Check whether the products and summary fit each request, then apply filters and test on mobile. Include an excluded product and an item whose price or stock recently changed. Compare against your current search before measuring clicks, add-to-carts, and purchases.
What is Shopify AI search?
Shopify AI search uses artificial intelligence to understand what a shopper means, connect that intent to relevant catalog items, and present helpful results even when the shopper does not use the exact words in a product title or description.
How is AI search different from keyword search?
Traditional keyword search mainly looks for matching words. AI search can interpret a natural-language request, understand product context, and surface products that fit the request even when the wording is different.
Does Shoply use my Shopify catalog?
Yes. Shoply uses your product information, collections, attributes, and store content to match searches with products in your Shopify catalog.
Can Shoply show filters and an AI summary?
Yes. An AI summary can explain why products match the search. Shoply also learns relevant filter attributes from your product information, so shoppers can narrow results without you manually defining those filters. You can customize the filter layout and appearance.
Do I need a developer to install Shopify AI search?
For the standard Shopify search integration, you can install Shoply from the Shopify App Store, enable its app embed, and configure search without a developer. Custom search pages or theme integrations may need developer help.
Can shoppers continue from AI search into AI chat?
Yes. Search and chat work together, so a shopper can start with product discovery and then ask a follow-up question when they want more help deciding.
Which Shopify products are included in AI search?
Shoply adds active products to its search index by default and leaves out draft or archived products. You can exclude individual products through supported Shopify fields, tags, and Shoply controls. After changing exclusions, refresh your catalog in Shoply or wait for the next automatic index update. Check recently changed products in the search preview.
Can I customize how AI search looks?
Yes. You can customize the search experience to fit your brand, including product cards, buttons, imagery, filters, and the AI summary area.
Can I access Shoply AI Search through an API?
Yes. Your developer can connect Shoply search to a custom storefront through the search API, which lets other software request results from your catalog. Access depends on your Shoply plan and its search allowance.
Does AI search work for multilingual Shopify stores?
Yes. Shoppers can search in their preferred language, and Shoply responds in that language. Automatic translation of custom interface messages you write is a paid feature; you can review and edit those translations. Test important searches and storefront messages in each language you serve.
