Shopify links Shop Pay to Meta's Muse AI agent for in-chat checkout
Shopify shares jump 7% after the company said Shop Pay will let Meta's Muse assistant complete purchases directly inside conversations.
What to know
- Shopify's Shop Pay now integrates with Meta's Muse AI agent, allowing checkout without leaving the chat, and Shopify shares rose about 7% on the news.
- The partnership contrasts with Amazon's decision days earlier to block Muse over credential-security and compliance concerns.
- Shopify is positioning itself as payments/commerce infrastructure for outside AI agents rather than competing to build its own assistant.
- A same-day report says Meta is also adding PayPal to Muse, suggesting the assistant's checkout options are expanding beyond Shop Pay.
“We are excited for Muse to be partnering deeply with [Shopify] to enable agentic checkout with Shop Pay on all Shopify stores! We want to give our Musers access to a wide range of stores to find the absolute perfect products.”
