Top 3 Shopify Trends You Can’t Ignore in 2026
Trend #1 - Discovery on ChatGPT
Shopping Search
on ChatGPT
Customers are already searching for your product on ChatGPT.
Sell on ChatGPT enables merchants to surface products directly inside AI conversations at the exact moment of user intent. Instead of browsing shops or ads, customers discover, compare, and buy products while asking questions and getting recommendations from ChatGPT. Brands benefit from high-intent traffic, reduced funnel friction, and AI-driven product placement that feels native, not promotional.
