Shopify launches AI agent readiness tool that scores any store URL on compliance with agentic commerce protocols

Shopify quietly launched a free tool at commerce-readiness.shopify.io that lets merchants enter any store URL and receive a scored assessment of how ready their site is for AI shopping agents like ChatGPT and Microsoft Copilot, with no login required. The tool runs 31 checks across five categories including AI discoverability, product schema, transaction readiness, trust signals, and operational maturity, flagging issues like missing JSON-LD structured markup for product reviews, shipping policies that exist on the site but aren't exposed in structured data, and absent LLM.txt files that AI agents use to navigate storefronts. Merchants who score poorly can use the tool's impact-effort matrix to identify which fixes will have the greatest effect on their AI discoverability.
