About
Rep AI is Shopify's leading AI eCommerce agent, designed to tackle the three core challenges facing online merchants: converting more traffic into sales, deflecting high volumes of support tickets, and unlocking deep shopper intelligence.

Rep AI integrates natively with Shopify, requiring minimal setup, and is trusted by leading Shopify brands worldwide. Whether you're a growing DTC brand or an enterprise retailer, Rep AI scales with your store to drive measurable improvements in average order value, conversion rate, and customer satisfaction.
