Source: https://agentreadychecklist.com/vendors/shopify Site: Agent Ready Checklist Last reviewed: 2026-11-05 Agent endpoints: https://agentreadychecklist.com/llms.txt (index), https://agentreadychecklist.com/openapi.json (API), https://agentreadychecklist.com/mcp (MCP server), https://agentreadychecklist.com/ask (search) Access: https://agentreadychecklist.com/auth.md (no key). Pricing: https://agentreadychecklist.com/pricing.md (free). # Shopify Shopify stores serve robots.txt, sitemap.xml and a default agents.md at /llms.txt, which meets AR-FIND-01, AR-FIND-03 and AR-READ-07, and UCP-compliant MCP servers let agents build carts and checkouts, which meets AR-ACT-03 and AR-ACT-08. Product JSON-LD needs a theme that calls the structured\_data filter, markdown by Accept has no documented statement, and /.well-known/ files need a workaround. ## At a glance Type [Commerce platform](https://agentreadychecklist.com/vendors/by-type/commerce-platform/) Homepage [shopify.com](https://www.shopify.com), answered HTTP 200 on 2026-11-05 Checklist rows 9 of 31 read: **5** supported, 3 partial, 1 no statement Last read 2026-11-05 ## What it does for this layer - Shopify's developer changelog states "Your store includes a default agents.md file accessible at /agents.md", and /llms.txt and /llms-full.txt point to the same content by default. primary source: [shopify.dev/changelog/posts/customize-llmstxt-llms-fulltxt-and-agentsmd](https://shopify.dev/changelog/posts/customize-llmstxt-llms-fulltxt-and-agentsmd), read 2026-11-05 - Shopify stores can override the default with templates/agents.md.liquid, which also sets the content of /llms.txt and /llms-full.txt unless those have their own templates. primary source: [shopify.dev/changelog/posts/customize-llmstxt-llms-fulltxt-and-agentsmd](https://shopify.dev/changelog/posts/customize-llmstxt-llms-fulltxt-and-agentsmd), read 2026-11-05 - The Shopify changelog entry on customizing /llms.txt, /llms-full.txt and /agents.md is dated 2026-05-28. primary source, 2026-05-28: [shopify.dev/changelog/posts/customize-llmstxt-llms-fulltxt-and-agentsmd](https://shopify.dev/changelog/posts/customize-llmstxt-llms-fulltxt-and-agentsmd), read 2026-11-05 - Shopify's agentic commerce docs describe agents that authenticate with Shopify, search the Catalog, build carts and checkouts, and monitor orders using the Universal Commerce Protocol (UCP). primary source: [shopify.dev/docs/agents](https://shopify.dev/docs/agents), read 2026-11-05 - Shopify offers "UCP-compliant MCP servers" and a UCP CLI with commands to search the Catalog, build carts, create checkouts, hand off buyers and track orders. primary source: [shopify.dev/docs/agents](https://shopify.dev/docs/agents), read 2026-11-05 - Shopify's pricing page lists Basic, Grow, Advanced and Plus plans and a trial of 3 days free, then $1 a month for 3 months. primary source: [shopify.com/pricing](https://www.shopify.com/pricing), read 2026-11-05 - Shopify charges POS Pro at $89 a month per location, according to its pricing page. primary source: [shopify.com/pricing](https://www.shopify.com/pricing), read 2026-11-05 ## Products and plans | Product | What it is | Price | As of | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Shopify plans | Hosted store plans Basic, Grow, Advanced and Plus. | From USD 29 per month on yearly billing: Basic 29, Grow 79, Advanced 299;
