AskAI Now Guides Ecommerce Store Setup

TL;DR

AskAI can now guide users through setting up an ecommerce store within GoHighLevel. This update is likely minor for most agencies unless ecommerce store setup is a common client need.

Who this affects

GoHighLevel has not confirmed who is specifically affected by this update. Agencies and SaaS entrepreneurs who frequently set up ecommerce stores for clients may find this useful. Those not using GoHighLevel's ecommerce features or not offering ecommerce setup services can safely ignore this.

What changed

AskAI now provides assistance for setting up ecommerce stores. It guides users through the entire process. AskAI asks for the necessary details required for store setup. It helps prepare templates for ecommerce stores. It also assists with connecting domains for ecommerce stores. HighLevel has not confirmed any limits or plan gating for this feature. HighLevel has not confirmed the rollout status.

Where to find it

This new functionality is located within the "Ecommerce Stores" section of the platform. Users should look for it under the "Complete Setup" option.

How agencies will use this

An agency owner, onboarding a new client focused on selling physical products online, can now leverage AskAI to streamline the initial setup. Instead of manually navigating through every step, the agency can direct the client (or their own team member) to the Ecommerce Stores section. AskAI will then prompt for crucial information like product categories, shipping details, and payment preferences. It will then assist in selecting and populating store templates. Finally, AskAI will help connect the client's custom domain to their new ecommerce store. This automation reduces the time spent on initial configuration, allowing the agency to focus on marketing and client-specific customization.

Our take

This is a standard update, not a major platform shift. If your agency frequently builds ecommerce stores using GoHighLevel's native capabilities, this could offer some minor efficiency gains. For agencies not focused on ecommerce or those using third-party integrations for stores, this update is largely irrelevant. HighLevel has not confirmed critical details like who is affected, limits, or rollout status, making it difficult to assess its full impact. This week, it's a minor improvement; most agencies will find other priorities.
