What it covers

What your people will learn.

  • Operations

Sidekick is already in your Shopify admin, on every plan, at no extra cost. Used well, a discount, a sales report or an order change takes one message and one careful look.

Most merchants open it once, ask something vague, get a vague answer and go back to clicking through forms. The ones who keep using it learn two habits: point it at the exact product, order or page, and read what it prepared before pressing Save. Sidekick never changes the store without approval, so that second habit is the whole safety system.

The course runs the jobs of an ordinary week: a discount with every limit set in the first message, a report that answers the question you actually have, an order edit that tells the customer, a policy rewrite, and a theme change tried on a copy first. It is plain about the limits: what Sidekick will not do, what it remembers and for how long, what your staff can reach through it, and which features need a higher plan. Every feature, menu and limit was checked against Shopify's own pages in October 2026.

You practise along the way: five of Shopify's own example requests to check before saving, a weekend sale with three decisions in it, and three real jobs in your own admin.

You walk away with a weekly routine run through Sidekick, and a checking habit for every change it prepares.

Who it's for

Shopify store owners: running the admin themselves and wanting the routine jobs to take minutes.

Small shop teams: about to give staff the assistant and needing clear rules for what gets approved and by whom.

Merchants who tried it once: got a vague answer and want to know how to ask so the first answer is usable.
