MARKETING / CONTENT
PROMPT
Shopify does not take ownership of user-submitted Materials but requires a broad, transferable, royalty-free license including the right to create derivative works.
OUTPUT
AI output ownership is not explicitly addressed in Shopify's general terms. The broad license Shopify claims over all Materials may extend to AI-generated content.
TRAINING
Shopify requires a broad license grant over all merchant-submitted Materials (Section 8.1). For Shopify Magic specifically, the 'Enhanced Services' section (Section 9.2) allows Shopify to use customer interaction data from your store, other merchants, and Shopify itself to enhance AI-powered features (called 'Shopify Network Intelligence'). This is opt-out — merchants can disable Shopify Network Intelligence at admin.shopify.com/settings/privacy. Shopify's feedback is also licensed without compensation (Section 10).
COMMERCIAL
Shopify merchants use AI-generated content commercially by design. The platform's purpose is commercial; however, Shopify itself can also use merchant content for promotion.
