Noticed the Shopify admin looking different lately? Not a bug. Shopify started rolling out a redesigned admin on September 15, going out progressively so not every store has it yet. Search, notifications and the store picker moved out of the top bar into the side nav, which now collapses for extra screen room. Sidekick moved too, it sits as a small floating chat at the bottom of the page instead of a fixed side panel, and only expands wider when a task needs more space. If your team logs in daily and something feels moved or missing this week, that is the rollout, not a bug on your store.
Merchants have started asking us whether they should block AI crawlers like GPTBot, ClaudeBot or PerplexityBot from their Shopify store.
Checked robots.txt on three live stores this week to see what Shopify actually ships by default. None of them name any AI crawler specifically. There's a wildcard User-agent: * block and a separate one for adsbot-google, and that's it. Every AI crawler falls under that same wildcard, the same one Google and Bing fall under, which already allows product and collection pages and blocks cart, checkout and admin.
So by default your store isn't hiding from AI answer engines and it isn't specially exposed to them either, it's just treated like any other crawler. If you actually want to block a specific one, that's a manual line you add yourself, Shopify doesn't decide it for you.
Worth checking your own robots.txt before assuming either way.
