Shopify在二季度财报电话会上表示,AI 搜索正在为平台带来更多流量和销售,而不是取代 Google 等传统搜索入口。公司称,这一变化对中小商家尤其明显,也成为本季业绩超预期的推动因素之一。

二季度收入高于预期

公告信息显示,Shopify 二季度营收同比增长 36% 至 36 亿美元,高于华尔街预期的 34 亿美元;毛运营利润同比增长 31% 至 17.1 亿美元,也高于市场预期的 16.3 亿美元。

公司将部分增长归因于 AI 搜索带来的新增访问和订单。按其披露,二季度流向 Shopify 店铺的 AI 驱动流量和订单同比增长至原来的三倍。

  • 营收:36 亿美元
  • 毛运营利润:17.1 亿美元
  • AI 带来的流量和订单:同比增至三倍

购物路径更短

公司总裁 Harley Finkelstein 表示,AI 助手在购物场景中更像是传统搜索的补充,而不是替代品。与只匹配关键词的搜索方式不同,AI 可以同时理解商品尺寸、使用场景、车型等多个条件,再给出更贴近需求的结果。

他举例称,当消费者询问“适合轿车后排并排放下三个的儿童安全座椅”时,传统搜索更容易围绕“安全座椅”这一关键词返回结果,而 AI 助手会结合空间、车型和数量等限制筛选商品。这意味着用户更快进入具体商品页,商家的转化效率也更高。

公司称,二季度约一半来自 AI 引导的访问会话直接落到商品详情页,这一比例是传统搜索的 2.5 倍,显示购物决策路径正在缩短。

长尾商家受益更明显

Shopify 还表示,75% 的 AI 归因购买发生在平台前 100 大品类之外,这部分正是其更擅长服务的长尾市场。对以中小商家为主的平台而言,这意味着 AI 搜索不仅带来流量,也可能帮助更多非头部品类获得成交。

公司同时提到,随着 AI 在交易环节中的参与度上升,Shopify 也希望凭借自身结账体系承接更多订单。为此,平台已与多种 AI 工具和代理建立连接,包括 Claude、ChatGPT、Perplexity、Manus、Replit、Vercel,以及 Lovable 等开发平台,方便商家通过不同工具接入 Shopify。

AI未取代传统搜索

从公司表态看,Shopify 当前并不认为 AI 搜索会直接挤压传统搜索流量,反而更像新增入口。与在线出版行业因 AI 摘要导致点击率下滑不同,电商场景下的 AI 推荐正在把更明确的购买需求直接导向商品页,并转化为订单。
