Blog Cover

Introduction: E-commerce, simplified by AI

Launching an e-commerce store used to be complex. You needed developers for the website, photographers for products, marketers for content, and agencies to manage payments and logistics. Now, with ShopIQ’s AI-powered commerce copilot, you can launch your entire store through simple conversations.


This guide will walk you through every step required to build, personalise, and run your online business using AI. Whether you're a first-time founder, a product seller on Instagram, or a brand manager, this guide is for you.

Let’s begin.


Step 1: Talk to ShopIQ to generate your e-commerce website

The first step is the easiest—and the most magical.

When you log in to ShopIQ, you are greeted by a conversational prompt. All you need to do is describe your brand. For example:

“I run a skincare brand called Radiant Glow. Our products are vegan, made in India, and we focus on young women aged 20 to 30. The vibe is clean, minimal, and calming.”

Based on this, ShopIQ’s AI agents will:

  • Build your complete e-commerce website
  • Add relevant sections like hero banners, product grids, testimonials, and about
  • Choose colour schemes, fonts, and layout based on your brand vibe
  • Make it mobile - optimised and fast by default

This is vibe coding in action - no templates, no coding, just your vision turned into a real, working website.


Step 2: Customise your store through prompts

Once your initial site is ready, you can further customise it using natural language prompts.

There are two ways to do this:

A. Broad-level changes:Want to adjust the tone or design language of your store? You can prompt:

  • “Make the website more vibrant”
  • “Change the theme to black and gold”
  • “Update homepage to feel more Gen Z”

The entire site will update in real time while keeping your brand consistent.

B. Section-level editing:You can also click on any section—like a banner, button, product block—and prompt:

  • “Make this CTA button larger”
  • “Change this section background to light grey”
  • “Add a review slider here”

This allows you to build without using any UI builders or code, giving you full creative control in a language you understand—your own.


Step 3: Upload products using AI (ImageAI + CatalogAI)

You don’t need a product team to do listings anymore. ShopIQ offers ImageAI and CatalogAI - a powerful combo that handles everything related to product uploading and listing.

Here’s how it works:

  1. Take or Select a simple photo of your product.
  2. Upload it to ShopIQ via the chat prompt.
  3. Add context like name, price, size, features.

Example prompt:

“This is our Rose Vitamin C Serum, 30ml, priced at ₹899. Boosts glow, reduces dark spots. Vegan. Shelf life: 18 months.”

ShopIQ will:

  • Enhance your image automatically using AI
  • Remove the background, adjust lighting, and make it e-commerce ready
  • Write SEO-optimised product titles and descriptions
  • Assign categories, tags, and meta information
  • Publish the product on your site instantly

Repeat this process for all your products, or upload a batch through simple prompts.


Step 4: Connect your payment gateway

Once your store and products are ready, it’s time to enable payments.

ShopIQ allows direct integration with leading payment platforms, so your customers can pay using cards, wallets, or UPI. You can prompt:

“Connect Razorpay to my store”
“Enable Stripe and PayPal for international customers”

Currently supported payment gateways:

  • Stripe
  • PayPal
  • Razorpay
  • PhonePe
  • Cashfree (coming soon)

The system will guide you through secure authentication and connection. Once connected, payment buttons are automatically placed across your checkout flow.


Step 5: Set up logistics and shipping partners

ShopIQ also allows you to connect your store to India’s and the world’s most trusted logistics providers.

You can say:

“Integrate Shiprocket for domestic shipping”
“Connect DHL and Delhivery for global logistics”

Available options:

  • Shiprocket (India)
  • Delhivery
  • DHL
  • Blue Dart
  • DTDC (coming soon)

Once integrated, your AI copilot will:

  • Auto-generate shipping labels
  • Provide live order tracking to your customers
  • Sync delivery status with your dashboard
  • Handle pickup requests directly from the panel

You can also prompt the system to create return workflows, COD rules, or set free shipping thresholds.


Step 6: Preview and go live

Once all the above steps are complete, your store is ready for launch.

Before going live, ShopIQ gives you a preview link to test everything:

  • Click through each section
  • Place a test order
  • Review the mobile version
  • Check how the store looks on desktop

You can prompt:

“Preview the site on mobile”
“Test order with coupon code ‘LAUNCH20’”
“Change checkout page color to dark theme”

When you're happy, prompt:

“Publish my store and make it live”

ShopIQ handles the rest—domain configuration, SEO optimisation, and store activation.
