Today we're introducing Claude for Selling Online.
Just enter your idea and Nova builds your entire store in one click. Products, theme, payments, done.
This is truly insane.
Ecommerce just got an AI upgrade.
Build your store with LaunchMyStore → connect Claude via MCP → manage products, orders, themes & analytics with natural language.
160+ real tools. No more dashboard hopping.
launchmystore.io
If you have an MCP, this is your 2008 App Store moment.
ChatGPT: 8,495 apps
Claude: 8,478 connectors
Google: 52
Two of these are crowded.
One just opened.
Here's how to get your product picked 👇
Full playbook, with the exact steps and the posts from people already doing it:

Google just opened an app store inside Gemini and AI Mode. It runs on MCP.
Canva makes the flyer. Instacart handles the groceries. Inside the answer.
But nobody tells you:
the AI isn't reading your homepage. It's calling your tools.
Full playbook below
Looking for Agencies that create Ecommerce Websites for their cilents ! I might have something for you
A guy fixes bad websites for local businesses he finds on Google Maps: $15K/month (7.4M+ views).
Another serves 47 small businesses a month at $400 each.
Builders usually get paid once. The platform gets paid every month.
How to get your cut, for life:
The AI slop apps market is insanely competitive right now !
Ad requests to low-quality AI pages surged 354% in 2026. There are thousands of tools and AI-native apps chasing the same users. Most are thin wrappers on the same models
A 19-year-old runs his Shopify store with six Claude prompts (12M+ views on the breakdown).
A 6-person drinks brand handed Claude its whole operating stack.
But nobody tells you:
there's still a human copy-pasting in the middle.
Full playbook below
Anthropic once let Claude run a tiny shop.
It sold tungsten cubes at a loss and claimed to be a human in a blue blazer.
Their verdict: smart model, wrong tools.
Here's how to give Claude the right tools and run a store on autopilot. Setup and prompts:
An ecom brand is doing $200k a day with AI UGC ads.
Another drove 5M+ views to TikTok Shop with AI slideshows.
But nobody tells you:
views don't pay you. your store does.
Full playbook below 👇

$275 billion.
That's what US shoppers are expected to spend online this holiday season. A new record.
But the bigger story is AI.
AI traffic to US stores is projected to jump 130% this season.
And AI-referred shoppers already convert 60% better and spend 53% more per visit than other shoppers.
Shopping is moving from search bars to chat boxes.
AI is changing both sides of the checkout.
Buyers ask AI what to buy.
Now sellers can ask AI to run their store.
That's the bet we made with LaunchMyStore.
Nova, our AI agent, has 160+ tools.
Change prices. Tag products. Restyle your theme.
Just ask in plain English.
It waits for your approval before anything destructive.
Prefer your own AI? Connect Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor through MCP and run your store from there.
No VC. Fully bootstrapped.
4,000+ merchants.
5,000+ orders processed every day.
The next ecommerce winners won't have the biggest teams.
They'll have the best AI working for them.
Stats: Adobe Analytics
Amazon is blocking AI shopping agents.
If you're building in ecommerce, study why.
Amazon says it's about security.
But AI agents skip ads, and ads made Amazon $68B+ last year.
Giants rarely miss a shift because they can't see it.
They miss it because it threatens what pays their bills.
That's the opening for the rest of us.
I'm building LaunchMyStore with no VC and no safety net. One ugly commit at a time.
Our bet: AI shouldn't be a chatbot bolted onto your store.
It should run your store.
Today:
• 4,000+ merchants
• An AI agent with 130+ tools that runs a store from one chat
• Still bootstrapped
You don't beat a giant on its turf.
You win on the turf it's too scared to step on.
Keep building.

If you run a store and want AI doing the busywork: launchmystore.io
AI traffic to online stores grew 693% last holiday season.
It now converts 42% better than any other channel.
Most store owners have no idea.
Your next customer won't be human. Here's why 👇

AI traffic to online stores grew 693% last holiday season.
It now converts 42% better than any other channel.
Most store owners have no idea.
Your next customer won't be human. Here's why 👇
If you’re a founder, creator, or local brand still paying for
Webflow + Stripe checkout + Shopify-lite + a freelancer + a chatbot…
You’re assembling a store.
LaunchMyStore.io is a store that already checks out — and Astra can operate it.
Build the site.
Connect payments.
Let the model run the busywork.
That’s the post-SaaSpocalypse version of ecommerce.
What actually happened in 2026
Markets priced “AI will make software free to build, so SaaS dies.”
Software stocks got crushed.
Then the ledger caught up.
Stripe’s data on the largest non-AI SaaS companies: a brief dip in weekly transactions… then recovery and growth.
Equities price fear.
Payment volume prices customers still buying.
Building a SaaS in 2026 is easy.
Getting it in front of buyers is the whole game.
Most founders pick 6 channels and win none.
Pick 1. Match it to ACV. Run it for 90 days.
Under $10k ACV → PLG + SEO + communities
$10k–$50k → inbound + founder outbound
$50k+ → sales + partners + one marketplace
Don’t start an audience from zero if buyers already gather somewhere else.
Attach:
→ an integration
→ a comparison page
→ a useful reply in their community
→ a partner who already has trust
Paid ads rent attention.
Owned distribution compounds.
The product can be copied in a weekend.
Your distribution cannot.
If you’re under $100k ARR, drop your ACV + current channel. I’ll tell you what to kill.
