Shopify Magic is Shopify's built-in generative AI. It's free for all merchants and can save hours of content creation time.
What Shopify Magic does
1. Product descriptions
Generate SEO-optimized product descriptions from a few keywords or a product image.
How to use:
- Go to a product in Shopify admin
- Click the AI icon next to the description field
- Enter keywords or upload an image
- Generate multiple variations
- Edit and publish
2. Email campaigns
Generate email subject lines, body copy, and full campaigns.
3. Store content
Generate content for pages, blog posts, and FAQ sections.
4. Image editing
- Background removal — Remove product image backgrounds.
- Image generation — Generate lifestyle product shots.
- Image editing — Adjust, crop, and enhance images.
Best practices
For product descriptions
- Provide good input — The more context you give, the better the output.
- Generate multiple variations — Pick the best and edit.
- Add your brand voice — AI generates generic copy; add your personality.
- Include keywords — Mention target keywords in your input.
- Check accuracy — Verify product details are correct.
Limitations
Quality
Shopify Magic produces good but not great content. It's a starting point, not a finished product. Always edit AI-generated content.
Brand voice
AI doesn't know your brand voice. You need to add personality, tone, and style.
Accuracy
AI can hallucinate product features. Always verify accuracy before publishing.
