Get AI tested storefront suggestions from Sidekick
By Steven Van ·
Sidekick builds a draft theme change and compares it with the live storefront using simulated shoppers, not real traffic or live A/B tests.
Sidekick can now suggest storefront improvements and test them before a merchant applies anything. Per Shopify's changelog, Shopify's assistant identifies an improvement, builds a draft version of the change, and compares it with the current storefront using AI-simulated shoppers.
What gets simulated
Sidekick only picks changes for simulation when two conditions hold: the change can be tested as a storefront theme change, and it is expected to affect add-to-cart behavior.
What the testing is not
The recommendations are not tested on real shoppers and are not live A/B tests. The comparison uses AI-simulated shoppers only.
Review before applying
Sidekick builds the draft, and the merchant reviews the suggested change before deciding whether to apply it. Shopify points to its Help Center for more detail.
