    Shopify reports growing AI shopping interest ahead of the holidays

    Shopify’s 2026 holiday report says 65% of surveyed shoppers expect to use AI for at least one shopping task, while only about one-third say they trust an agent to buy for them. It describes selected merchants seeing more AI-referred orders and sales.
