The cart and checkout funnel loses most of your buyers before they pay. The fix is not a better funnel. It is no funnel. Featureless commerce keeps the product page, replaces the eight steps after it with one Buy action, and pushes everything else into workflows you own.
Your buyer used to find your store on Google. Increasingly, they find stores in AI answers, and the AI only names a few. Here is what is changing, why most stores are not yet visible inside AI answers, and what closing the gap looks like for you in practice.
Shopify powers 4.8 million stores. Most of them look the same. Here is how to decide between a theme, a custom build, and a headless architecture, and what each actually costs.
This is not a feature comparison chart. It is a decision framework based on your revenue, your growth plans, and how much control you actually need over your store.
