Has anyone looked into how Cloudflare’s new default AI‑crawler blocking policy (effective July 1, 2025) might affect Shopify stores, especially regarding AI‑based shopping agents and product discovery?
Questions:
Are Shopify storefronts automatically opted out of AI crawling via Cloudflare by default?
If so, what settings or configurations are recommended to allow AI agents (like storefront bots or product discovery tools) to index store pages?
What structured data or schema (e.g., products, reviews, FAQs, breadcrumbs) does Shopify support to optimize visibility in AI‑driven discovery?
Should we expect that agents will be blocked outside of the new SDK to be implemented by agent developers?
Curious to hear what people are doing about this - if anything.
