You can now find and install Text directly from the Shopify App Store. This matters more than it sounds. Shopify merchants no longer need to leave their admin panel, find our site, sign up separately, and figure out the integration. They search, click install, and they're in. The listing is here.

Search, install, connect

Until this week, a Shopify merchant who wanted Text had to leave their admin, find our site, sign up, and figure out the integration on their own. Now it's three steps: search, install, connect. The integration is reviewed by Shopify and shows up next to every other app in the marketplace.

Getting through Shopify's review process took real work from the integrations and engineering teams. The listing itself is the smaller part of what shipped.

Where Shopify merchants get the most out of Text

Shopify merchants are the customers who get the most out of Text right now. The AI agent already pulls live cart value, order history, and product data into every conversation. Adding product recommendations and "add to cart" inside the chat widget builds on top of that. None of it works without the Shopify connection.

Putting Text on the App Store removes the gap between "I'm curious about this" and "it's running on my store." Distribution finally matches the proof.

Distribution meeting a 266% lift

Text's AI agent converts chatting visitors to orders at 266% higher rates compared to browse-only visitors. That number comes from existing Shopify customers using the agent today. Getting that capability in front of the broader Shopify merchant base, without friction, is the whole point of being in the store.

Custom and headless stores next

The team is building a platform-agnostic selling layer so the same capabilities work on any stack. Custom-built and headless stores come first, with WooCommerce on the roadmap.
