Latest Updates

Should your brand be worried about AI search? Almost certainly. Do you need a big budget or a technical team to start doing something about it? Not really.On May 27, Barrel hosted a live webinar with partners from Shopify and Good Protein covering what CPG brands need to know about AI-driven discovery. A good chunk of that conversation focused on specific, mostly free tools already available inside Shopify.

The Shopify Toolkit for AI-Ready CPG Stores

Mack Weldon built its business on modern menswear essentials, underwear, undershirts, and everyday basics engineered with proprietary fabrics for comfort and durability. That product mix brings two different shoppers to the same product listing page (PLP): loyal customers who already know what they want and are moving quickly to restock, and new customers who are still comparing colors, fabrics, and fits for the first time. Designing navigation, filtering, and product-browsing tools that work for both audiences at once became the focus of our conversion rate optimization (CRO) testing program on Mack Weldon's PLPs.

The collections overhaul announced at Shopify's DotDev developer conference on July 21 is not an incremental platform update. Shopify's Head of Partnerships, Atlee Clark, called it the biggest update to collections in ten years, and for CPG brands managing complex product lines, that is not an exaggeration.

Shopify's Latest Collections Update: What It Means for CPG Catalogs

Most brands treat customer service and customer experience (CX) as a cost center: a queue to clear, a ticket count to reduce. Good Protein treats it as one of the most valuable data sources in the business, and that decision is now paying off in an unexpected place: AI search visibility.

Turning Your CX Team Into a Content Engine

AI has been changing how people shop, and recently it has started to shop for them directly. At Shopify's DotDev developer conference July 21-22 2026, Shopify's Head of Partnerships, Atlee Clark, opened the keynote with a number that should get every CPG brand's attention: AI-driven sessions are converting 80% better than organic search, and half of them land directly on a product page.

Elvie's international business was still a patchwork. Its global stores ran on Statamic and other legacy systems, separate from the new US foundation. To continue aligning the brand internationally, Barrel migrated Elvie's UK store onto Shopify and brought it onto the same theme layer as the US site. Elvie went with a multi-store approach, so the two markets run as separate stores on a shared codebasesystem, keeping each market independent while letting improvements and functionality carry across both. The UK store launched on time at the top of June, in under two months.

On May 27, Barrel hosted a live webinar with partners from Shopify and Good Protein to talk through what it actually takes to get cited by AI search tools. One example from that conversation captures the reality of Generative Engine Optimization (GEO): picture a blogger in Nebraska, with no meaningful following, who writes a single post comparing protein powders. That post could end up cited constantly by AI assistants, sometimes ahead of the brands it reviews. It's a small, specific scenario, but it's playing out across categories right now.

Why a Blogger in Nebraska Might Outrank Your CPG Brand

Barrel has been named a Shopify Platinum Partner, the top tier of Shopify's partner program. The designation recognizes agencies that have delivered sustained, high-impact results for Shopify merchants, and it's one Barrel has been working toward for years.
