0821 ET - Shopify's agentic AI is helping it gain traction among mid-sized businesses. Morgan Stanley analysts say recent survey results "continue to highlight Shopify's myriad share gain and broader monetization tailwinds, further bolstered by strong AI positioning." According to the report, Shopify is pushing deeper in mid-sized businesses compared with small merchants, "reinforcing the up-market and unified commerce narrative." The breadth of its product suite are also helping, with Shopify Payments users now averaging four Shopify services, up from about three last year. The survey shows Shopify gaining traction beyond its core retail base, and merchants view it as a clear AI beneficiary, with strong intent to adopt AI-enabled workflows over the next 2-3 years.
