Ask AI Now Sets Up Full Ecommerce Stores

TL;DR

Ask AI can now set up an entire ecommerce store, guiding users through each step. No immediate action is required; this is a new capability for store setup.

Who this affects

HighLevel has not confirmed who is affected by this update. However, it is likely relevant to agency owners and SaaS entrepreneurs who offer or manage ecommerce solutions for clients, or those planning to launch their own online stores within HighLevel.

What changed

Ask AI has gained significant new capabilities for ecommerce store creation. Specifically:

• Ask AI can now set up an entire ecommerce store from scratch.
• It walks users through every step of the store setup process, ensuring no critical stage is missed.
• During setup, Ask AI asks necessary questions to gather the required information for store configuration.
• It assists with connecting the domain for the ecommerce store as part of the setup process.
• Ask AI also creates templates during the setup, streamlining the design and layout of the store.

HighLevel has not confirmed any limits, plan gating, or the rollout status for this feature.

Where to find it

This new functionality can be accessed within the HighLevel platform by navigating to the Ecom Store section. Once there, users should click on the 'complete setup' option to initiate the AI-guided process. HighLevel has not published a more detailed navigation path.

How agencies will use this

An agency owner, let's call her Sarah, has a new client, 'Local Crafts Inc.', who wants to quickly launch an online store for their handmade goods. Instead of manually configuring every detail, Sarah can now go to the 'Ecom Store' section in Local Crafts Inc.'s sub-account. She clicks 'complete setup', and Ask AI starts prompting her with questions: What products will you sell? What's your business address for shipping? What payment gateways do you prefer? Sarah provides the answers, and Ask AI automatically handles the backend configuration, connects Local Crafts Inc.'s domain, and generates an initial set of store templates tailored to the products. This drastically cuts down the setup time, allowing Sarah to focus on populating products and marketing rather than initial infrastructure. Her team can then fine-tune the templates and add product details.

Our take

This is a major update, expanding Ask AI's practical application within the platform. The ability for AI to guide and execute entire store setups simplifies a complex process. While HighLevel has not confirmed the full scope of its impact or rollout status, this capability indicates a clear direction towards more AI-assisted automation for core platform functions. This is relevant for anyone involved with ecommerce within HighLevel.
