Unlocking Smarter Store Management: Shopify's New Search & Sidekick Updates Explained

As Shopify continues to evolve into a truly intelligent commerce platform, store owners and developers are gaining powerful new tools to streamline operations, enhance decision-making, and scale faster. One of the most exciting updates this season is the extended support for additional commerce objects within Shopify's Admin Search and Sidekick assistant.

At IceStoreGroup, where we specialize in building and optimizing Shopify and Shopify Plus stores, we’re always on the lookout for updates that improve store performance, automation, and user experience. This new functionality is a game-changer for merchants who want to run smarter, more efficient businesses.

What’s New: Commerce Object Support in Search & Sidekick

Shopify has rolled out support for inventory items, locations, selling plans, subscriptions, markets, and delivery profiles in Admin Search and Sidekick.

This means merchants and their teams can now quickly search for, access, and manage core elements of their business directly from the admin panel — using both text-based and AI-assisted interactions.

Why it Matters for Your Shopify Store

  1. Faster access to business-critical data
    No more digging through multiple sections — search "UK Market delivery profile" or "Subscription plan A" and jump straight to what you need.

  2. Sidekick gets smarter
    Shopify’s AI assistant, Sidekick, can now understand and assist with more elements of your store — such as updating delivery profiles or viewing inventory for a specific location.

  3. Streamlined workflows and improved automation
    This update enhances the ability to integrate custom workflows or automate operations using the latest Shopify APIs — perfect for scaling your dropshipping business or expanding to international markets.

Why This Matters for eCommerce Growth

For brands serious about growth, automation, and scalability, these updates offer a path to:

  • Smarter inventory and location management

  • Easier setup and management of subscriptions and selling plans

  • Faster onboarding for team members

  • Seamless integration with custom Shopify apps and third-party tools
