The 15-Minute Shopify Agentic Visibility Scorecard

Score the product, policy, and technical facts Shopify Catalog and emerging AI shopping channels can actually use. Give yourself one point for every verified “yes.”

What this is: a practical self-audit based on public Shopify guidance.
What it is not: a promise of channel eligibility, ranking, recommendation, traffic, conversion, sales, or revenue. Shopify and every downstream channel control their own eligibility and ranking systems.
