Shopify and BigCommerce now write product copy with AI from inside the admin. Use them. Clione works alongside them: it enriches categories and pages as well as products, publishes the structured data, keeps the last three versions and reads the live page to tell you what rendered.
BigCommerce Catalog Enrichment writes the product name, description, meta description and page title, and adds an AI snippet and two sets of questions as custom fields. Shopify Magic drafts a product description from a few keywords.
Enrichment for products, categories or collections and content pages, a JSON-LD graph on every product page, FAQs across the catalog, versions with restore, and a check of the live page after every push.
Catalog Enrichment is a paid beta in the BigCommerce control panel, announced on 29 September 2026, for some stores. It is good at what it does. These are the places Clione adds to it.
BigCommerce's own FAQ says applying overwrites existing values permanently, and suggests a backup first. Clione keeps the last three versions of every entity and restores any of them.
Catalog Enrichment applies up to 250 products at a time. Clione enriches the catalog in bulk, and categories and content pages with it.
The three AI fields are custom fields, so whether they show depends on your theme. Clione publishes through the Widget API, server-side, and reads the live page back.
If both tools write the same native field, the last write wins. Clione's next sync names the field that changed after its push, and the date.
Shopify Magic is free in the admin and drafts a description from the keywords you give it. Shopify's own AI also reads your catalog to put products in ChatGPT, Gemini and Copilot.
Stored in metafields and printed by two app embeds you switch on in one click.

Who each product is for, how people choose it and the objection to answer.
What Shopify's AI reads →No. They are complementary. Run the platform's tool for the copy if you like it, and Clione for the rest of the store's signals and the check on the page.
The last write wins, as with any two tools writing the same field. Clione notices on its next sync and tells you which field changed and when, so you decide which version stays.
No. It works alongside them on the same catalog. Each one writes through the platform; neither calls the other.
On a short call we open one product: what your store serves today, and what Clione would publish beside it.
