Manus AI Agent Now Builds and Manages Shopify Stores from Chat

ManusManus

Manus has launched an integration with Shopify, allowing users to create, manage, and grow e-commerce stores entirely through natural language chat. This enables autonomous store setup and operations, with Manus handling storefronts and Shopify managing backend commerce.

Manus, part of Meta, integrates with Shopify, enabling users to build, manage catalogs, and run e-commerce campaigns from a chat. The agent sets up a Shopify development store, including branding, products, pages, and a working cart, based on natural language.

Shopify's APIs (read/write products, prices, collections, discounts)

This simplifies launching online stores by automating tasks. Manus, leveraging Shopify's APIs, acts as an agentic AI system for e-commerce. This aligns with a trend of AI agents simplifying store management, seen with Replit Agent and Vercel v0.

The Manus Shopify connector is available across all paid tiers, supporting live and development stores. Users can upload spreadsheets and images to create listings, audit pages, or update inventory. The agent analyzes sales data for targeted campaigns, generating ad creatives and promo codes.
