Nice one Szymon and Team! Congrats to product of the day. Well deserved! 🚀
@dai_kelly We focus on delivering 80% of use cases, the rest of it are mostly ornaments. Still we believe we can handle most of it with core platform and addons
The AI migration feature is intriguing! We've helped clients move between platforms and it's usually a nightmare - products get messed up, categories break, designs need rebuilding.
Question about the natural language storefront editing - how well does it handle specific brand requirements? Like if someone says 'make the checkout flow feel more premium' or 'reduce cart abandonment', can it translate those vague requests into actual UI changes?
Also curious about the agency angle. What's your commission/revenue share model compared to Shopify Partners? The current ecosystem locks agencies into pretty restrictive terms.
@alex_chu821 Thanks! It’s still early and not perfect yet for the natural language editing, but we’re working closely with clients in a tight feedback loop and improving quickly. In a nutshell, we still explore how to combine chatbot interface with HUDs approach. On the revenue share side, we’re keeping things flexible for now - the focus is on closing product gaps and making sure agencies succeed with us. We’re also far more responsive than Shopify. :) Could you share more about the restrictive terms you’ve run into with Shopify?
@zaiste The tight feedback loop approach makes sense for iterating on the natural language editing - that's a hard UX problem to crack.
On the Shopify Partner restrictions - the main pain points we've seen are the revenue share caps (usually 20% max), locked-in pricing tiers that don't reflect actual development complexity, and the approval process for custom apps being pretty slow. Plus once you're in their ecosystem, switching costs for both you and clients get pretty high.
The responsiveness factor is huge though. Most agencies complain about Shopify support being basically non-existent unless you're spending serious money with them.

💡 Bright idea
Congrats! How do you address potential errors or limitations in customization that might arise from heavy reliance on AI agents for product migration and natural language storefront editing, compared to manual control?
@vouchy Excellent question! :) We don’t rely on AI alone - migration and editing are grounded in our «commerce abstractions». With our Store Spec and Commerce SDK, checkout and flows always work, no matter how the storefront is generated. It’s still an early feature, but the fundamentals are already in place. From here it’s about refinement and those improvements will only get better with time.
@mickeyqiu Every store created with YNS comes with a built-in MCP server that lets you browse products and add items to cart. It’s still an early version, but it already shows the potential of a new workflow. We see this as a foundation for what we call agentic commerce, and we’ll keep evolving it as this space matures.
Love the idea of skipping plugin headaches and launching a shop in minutes—seriously, wrestling with Shopify add-ons is a weekly struggle for me. How customizable is the AI side of things?

@alex_chu821 We are much more flexible when it comes to agency angle since we offer up to 50% of commission.
When it comes to UI changes, it will probably get lost with such a vague requests (i.e. cart abandonment is not only connected with UI, but on backend as well). I think @typefoweb will be better person to show you the ropes here :)
@szymek 50% commission is definitely competitive! Most platforms cap way lower than that.
You're absolutely right about cart abandonment being more complex than just UI - backend optimization, page load speeds, payment flow, etc. all factor in.
@typefoweb would love to see a quick demo of the natural language editing in action when you have a chance. Even simple layout changes through prompts could save agencies tons of back-and-forth with clients.
Very excited to give this a try but I could not get past first step, adding a product. Thought I would see what happens with creating a course for Adobe Framemaker: https://mcmassociates.io/mcma/framemaker_course.html David McMurrey, Ph.D.
Really like the positioning here. So many founders I know get frustrated with the limitations and add-on bloat of existing platforms, so a faster, more adaptable alternative feels very timely. Excited to see how this develops and competes with the usual giants.

@vouchy We offer both scenarios: manual control with Store Builder or flexibility / creativity with LLM storefront editing.

Congrats on the launch! Such a promising store for starters! Do u plug-in AI abilities in YourNextStore?

@mickeyqiu Yes, we do. We want to cover as many business aspects of running e-commerce as we possibly can.

@cruise_chen still a lot to do but getting there. We are able to create fully functional storefront but still not pixel-perfect
