In short: Shopify stores are opted into the Agentic Catalog integration by default, which now feeds Meta’s Muse agent as well as places like ChatGPT. You do not need to do anything to be included, but you can control how your product data is sent under Sales channels > Agentic in your Shopify admin.
Amazon just blocked Muse from shopping on Amazon.com.
The good news is, this gives your products on Shopify a lot more real estate within the AI assistant from Meta.
And all you need to do is... NOTHING!
If you’re on Shopify, you’re already opted into the Agentic Catalog integration by default, which syncs your products to places like ChatGPT.
And now also Meta’s Muse agent.
Muse also integrates with Shop Pay now, so it can shop your products in chat.
You can control which information goes into the catalog
- Go to Shopify admin > Sales channels > Agentic.
- In the Sources section, click Review how your product data is sent to the Shopify Catalog for Agentic Channels.
What you can change there
Product fields. You can map different data sources to your product title, description, and category fields, choosing from product attributes, product metafields, or metaobject references.
Custom variant grouping. By default, products are grouped using your Shopify Combined Listings configuration. If you activate Custom variant grouping, you can group by product title with a delimiter, by a product metafield, or by a tag prefix.
Product option display names. If custom grouping is on, you can select your product variant options and set the option names that are displayed to customers through Shopify Catalog.
An example of why this matters: On your site, you probably don’t have your brand name in front of every title. In a catalog feed, you may want to do this to create more brand recognition within AI chats and agents.
Pros and trade-offs
Being opted in by default is mostly good news, with a few things to watch:
| Pros | Trade-offs |
|---|---|
| No work needed to be included. | Your product data is sent as it is, so weak titles and descriptions show up in AI answers too. |
| Your products can show up in ChatGPT and Meta’s Muse, not just your own store. | Your control is limited to the fields and grouping in the Agentic settings. |
| Muse can check out with Shop Pay, so shoppers can buy in the chat. | Default grouping follows your Combined Listings setup, which may not match how you want products shown. |
