Shopify’s AI shopping push puts checkout inside Google Gemini and Microsoft Copilot

Ottawa-based Shopify announced it has co-created a new open standard with Google and broadened its integrations with both Google and Microsoft. The goal: to enable shoppers to complete purchases from Shopify merchants directly within AI search and chat tools. Called the Universal Commerce Protocol, the technology links AI systems to merchants’ checkout processes, facilitating transactions inside conversational interfaces. Brands like Monos and Gymshark will sell through Google’s AI surfaces, while Keen is among those using Microsoft’s Copilot Checkout, according to Digital Commerce 360. https://www.digitalcommerce360.com/2026/01/12/shopify-universal-commerce-protocol-open-standard-agentic-ai/

Shopify said on Sunday it has teamed up with Google on a new “Universal Commerce Protocol” meant to let AI agents complete checkouts inside chat-style tools, a shift that could reshape how its merchants reach buyers. The e-commerce software firm said the protocol is designed to handle steps such as discount codes and loyalty credentials, and that Shopify merchants will be able to sell directly inside Google Search’s AI Mode and the Gemini app. “We have taken everything we’ve seen over the decades to make UCP a robust commerce standard that can scale,” Vanessa Lee, a Shopify vice president, said.
