Shopify launches Canvas AI site builder

Shopify has introduced Canvas, a new AI-powered site builder that lets merchants create and customize online stores through chat with its AI agent, Sidekick. Canvas renders changes in real time, showing the actual code and enabling full interactivity testing across screen sizes. It presents the store as a cohesive visual workspace, allowing merchants to view, edit, and develop pages without deep coding knowledge. Sidekick can directly access theme files, make coordinated changes, and validate its own work, having already handled over 25 million theme changes in H1 2026. Initially, Canvas lacks support for third-party themes, app blocks, and translations, and is desktop-only, but Shopify plans to expand its capabilities. The tool will roll out gradually, with the existing editor remaining for now, and aims to make e-commerce more accessible to non-coders.

• Shopify launched Canvas, an AI-powered site builder and design interface that lets merchants create stores via chat.
• Canvas uses Shopify's AI agent Sidekick to make real-time changes to the store's actual code and theme files.
• The initial version lacks third-party theme support, app blocks, translations, and is desktop-only.
