AI assistants or Shopify Sidekick: which can change my bundles?
Sidekick reads your bundles and carts and checks setup inside Shopify admin. A connected assistant can build and change them.
Shopify Sidekick is Shopify's assistant inside your admin. With Section Store it reads, checks and opens pages, but it can't change anything. A connected assistant like Claude or ChatGPT can build and change your bundles and carts.
What Sidekick can do with Section Store
- Search sections: it searches our library of theme sections.
- Read bundles and carts: it shows their status, deals and rewards, with a link to each in Section Store.
- Check setup: it checks why a bundle or the cart drawer isn't showing, or why its discount doesn't apply.
- Start a bundle: it opens the bundle editor with a new bundle started for one product or collection. You see Sidekick started this bundle. You set the deals and click Save.
- Open AI Pages: it opens AI Pages for one product. You start the build there.
Sidekick needs no connection to us.
What it can't do
Sidekick can't change bundles or carts. It can't switch them on or set deals, discounts or rewards. Changes happen in Section Store or the theme editor.

Use Sidekick when
- You want a quick answer while you work in Shopify admin.
- You want to know why a bundle or the drawer isn't showing.
- You're looking for a section.
Use a connected assistant when
- You want the work done for you, not only an answer.
- You want to change a bundle, cart or reward.
You can use both. They don't get in each other's way.
If it doesn't work
- "Open Section Store once. Then ask again.": Sidekick needs the app to be ready. Open Section Store in Shopify admin, then ask again.
- Sidekick doesn't use Section Store: name Section Store in your request.
