§ I · Shopper questions
Shopify opens the channel. Your product data shapes the answer.
AI shoppers ask detailed questions. Thin or inconsistent records leave more room for guessing.
Shopper asks
“A skin-like foundation for mature, dry skin.”
Finish, coverage, ingredients, shade, skin type, and reviews help explain relevance.
Shopper asks
“Tortoiseshell sunglasses with an oversized sculptural frame.”
Colour, frame shape, dimensions, material, images, and category help narrow selection.
