THE AI SHOPPING ERA
AI for ecommerce – get your store ready for the agentic era
Shoppers are starting to skip the search bar. They ask ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, Google AI Mode and Gemini for a recommendation – and the agent does the searching, comparing and buying on their behalf. The order lands in your store without anyone visiting a product page.
In 2025, AI-driven traffic to Shopify stores grew 8x. AI-driven orders grew 15x. Frontier AI is doubling its task-completion capability roughly every four months. The brands preparing now will be the ones AI agents recommend, cite and buy from. For brands on Shopify and off it.
Two kinds of business need to get ready. Existing Shopify retailers whose stores need to be visible, citable and transactable in the AI shopping channels. And brands building agentic capability across the wider business, whatever their stack.

OUR AGENTIC COMMERCE SERVICES
Agentic commerce services for brands that move first
Four services, layered onto a decade of Swanky expertise - Shopify Platinum delivery, full-service execution, and deep CRO and subscription capability.
Agentic Commerce Readiness
Get your store visible, citable and transactable before AI shoppers come asking. We configure your agentic shopping channels – product data, knowledge base, FAQs – and audit what’s missing. ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, Google AI Mode and Gemini, all reached from one configured store. B2C and B2B both in scope. For brands not yet on Shopify, there is a route onto agentic commerce on Shopify’s open standards without committing to a replatform.
Applied AI Consultancy
Build the AI capability your business needs, in your stack, alongside your team. Our Applied AI architects and developers work with yours to design and ship AI into the business. For brands not yet on Shopify, there is a route onto agentic commerce on Shopify’s open standards without committing to a replatform.
AI Search Visibility (GEO)
Show up in AI search, not just Google. Generative Engine Optimisation extends our Shopify SEO service into the AI era – how your brand gets found, cited and recommended when shoppers ask AI tools instead of typing a query.
Storefront AI Agents
Put the AI shopping experience on your own store. We build branded AI shopping agents on Shopify’s Storefront MCP – live access to your catalogue, cart, policies and orders, on your domain, under your control.

WHY SWANKY
A proven partner for the AI era
A Shopify Platinum partner with full-service delivery, deep CRO and subscription expertise, and live AI-commerce readiness work running for clients today. Not a future-tense capability.
Our agentic delivery is built on Claude (Anthropic) and OpenAI, on the open standards now common across the agent ecosystem – including UCP, the protocol Shopify uses to connect merchants to AI Channels – so the capability we ship compounds across vendors rather than ties you to one. Patchworks, our named integration partner, provides the integration depth that makes it all deliverable at scale.
