Adding an AI shopping assistant to Shopify takes three steps and no code: install the app from the Shopify App Store so it can sync your catalog, pick your industry and brand voice so it configures itself, then enable the app embed block to go live. With Vorena the whole process is self-serve and finishes the same day.
The reason it's this fast is that the hard part is automated. You don't write rules, tag products, or hand-build a knowledge base. Vorena reads your product images to understand attributes like color, fabric, fit and style, and combines that with your existing catalog data to answer real shopper questions. Here is exactly what each step looks like.
The three steps
1. Connect your store. Install Vorena from the Shopify App Store. On install it syncs your catalog automatically — products, variants, prices and images — so the concierge knows everything you stock from the first minute. There's nothing to export and no spreadsheet to maintain; when your catalog changes, the assistant stays current.
2. Set your industry and tone. Pick your category and the brand voice you want the concierge to use. That single choice tunes how it asks clarifying questions and frames recommendations, so it sounds like your store rather than a generic bot. Because Vorena has already enriched your products from their images, it can run genuine natural-language discovery right away — a shopper can describe an occasion or a need and get the right few items back. See exactly how it works under the hood.
3. Publish and go live. Enable the app embed block in your theme and the concierge appears on your storefront. From there shoppers can ask, compare, and add to cart inside the chat — and every assisted sale is attributed back so you can see the revenue it drives. No developer, no theme rebuild, no launch window.
What to expect after launch
Most of the value shows up quickly because the assistant is working against problems every catalog has. Roughly 97% of visitors leave without buying and the majority of that is discovery failure — Google Cloud and Harris found 94% of shoppers have searched a store and found nothing, and industry research finds that 77% abandon a site after a bad search. An assistant that actually understands intent turns those dead ends into conversations.
In our pilot across 15 stores, merchants saw a 55% lift in search success, an 18% lift in conversion, a 23% lift in average order value and a 16% lift in repeat purchases. Your numbers will depend on your catalog and traffic, but the mechanism is the same everywhere: when shoppers can ask for what they want and get a confident answer, more of them buy. If you want to weigh that against the cost, the pricing page lays out the plans plainly.
That's the entire setup — connect, configure, publish — and you have a vision-enriched concierge selling on your store the same afternoon. Add Vorena to your Shopify store
