AI Shelf Check

Is AI shopping showing your products — or skipping them?

Since March 2026, eligible Shopify stores are discoverable in ChatGPT by default through Shopify's Agentic Storefronts — with Copilot, Google AI Mode and Gemini rolling out through the same program. Those channels read your catalog data — identifiers, attributes, policies — and merchants across Shopify report products silently failing to show up, usually over a missing field they never knew mattered. How Shopify's Agentic Storefronts work.

Not on Shopify? The same AI shopping channels read the same catalog data — identifiers, product data, policies — from WooCommerce, Wix, BigCommerce and Etsy stores too. Shopify is where the failures are silent, because discovery was switched on by default; the data rules themselves are the same everywhere. Our instant checker is Shopify-only today — tell us your platform below and you'll hear when yours opens.

Paste your store URL. Get a free Shelf Check. We'll show you exactly what AI channels can read from your store today — and what's missing. Enter your email with your store address and the instant score appears right here — the full report follows by email.

Step 1 · Instant score

Run your free Shelf Check

Your public Shopify storefront address — no login, no access to your account, ever. The check reads the same public product feed any crawler can pull.

Free. Nothing is changed on your store — this is a read-only look at public data. Your store address and email come to us with your request so we can send the report; no list-selling, ever.

How it works

  1. Paste your store URL (your public Shopify storefront — no login, no access to your account, ever).
  2. We check the inputs AI channels read: how many products and variants your public feed lists; whether your variants carry barcodes/GTINs; whether the brand your feed announces is yours; description, image, type and tag completeness; your sitemap; and whether your policies are published in Shopify's native policy system, the place catalog checks look.
  3. Step 2 (optional): request the free full audit — the same two fields, already filled in from Step 1.
  4. You get a one-page report with every finding labeled by how we know it — verified from your public data, or flagged as needing an inside look. Plain English, real numbers, no scare tactics.

The instant check above runs the product-feed part of the method right here in your browser. The free full audit adds the policy, sitemap and structured-data checks and is delivered by email within one business day during the test period.

What we found out there (from our first sweep)

We checked 15 independent specialty coffee roasters on Shopify — 2,544 products, 7,273 variants:

One honest note on that zero: many small makers — roasters included — sell custom or small-batch goods that may be GTIN-exempt, and exemption is legitimate. The gap we check is whether that status is signaled anywhere in the public feed. "No identifier published" is what an outside check can say; whether an exemption applies is part of the full audit.

Your store may be cleaner than that — or not. The check is free; find out which.

Step 2 · Full report by email

Get the free full audit

The instant check at the top covers your product feed. The full audit adds the checks a browser can't run — native policy pages, sitemap coverage, structured data (including whether the brand machines read is really yours) — plus a manual spot-check of what AI assistants say about a few of your products. Same honesty rules: every finding labeled by how we know it.

Ran the instant check at the top of this page? This is that report — your store and email are the same two fields, and step 1 already filled them in for you. Just confirm and send.

The address customers type to visit your shop — usually ends in .com.

Use the email you actually read. The report lands there within one business day.

Report within one business day during the test period. No spam, no list-selling — the report is the whole point.

Not on Shopify?

Same AI shopping channels, same data rules — the checker just doesn't read your platform yet. Tell us where your store lives and we'll email you when your platform opens. Enough requests for one platform and it jumps the queue.

One email when your platform opens. No list, no spam.

The fix — $350, fixed scope, one price

If your Shelf Check finds gaps, the Catalog Fix closes them:

Delivery in 5 business days. One store, all products, $350 flat.

Buy the Catalog Fix — $350

Secure checkout by Stripe. After checkout, email your store address to audits@aishelfcheck.com and your fix is scheduled.

What we promise: clean, complete, honestly-labeled catalog inputs — the data AI channels read. What we never promise: rankings, placement, recommendations, or sales. No one can honestly guarantee those, and anyone who does is selling you a story.

Keep it clean — $49/month monitoring

Catalogs drift: new products get added without identifiers, a policy lapses, a theme update changes your structured data. Monitoring re-runs your Shelf Check monthly, verifies your catalog status, and sends a short report flagging anything that fell out — with fixes quoted flat before any work is done. Cancel anytime.

Start monitoring — $49/month

Secure checkout by Stripe. Cancel anytime. After checkout, email your store address to audits@aishelfcheck.com to activate your first check.

Who's behind this

AI Shelf Check is run by Brian S., an independent operator in Pennsylvania — and a Shopify merchant himself. This service grew out of running the check on his own store first and finding the same gaps this page describes: no native policies published, no identifiers in the feed, the wrong brand in the structured data.

No agency, no account managers, no call center. The person who answers your email is the person who runs your check and does the fix.

Support

Email-only support — write to us and a real report (not a bot) answers within one business day. No calls, no meetings, no upsell webinars. That's deliberate: it's how we keep a $350 fix at $350.
