🚀 Faster Stores + 🤖 ChatGPT Product Feed
Speed matters. Every split second that your store takes to load is a friction point for customers. That's why we sent call by call to revamp our backend loading. And the result will make a huge difference for your store. Both product page and checkout load speeds improved between 2 - 4x!
And of course in the AI age (and with the collapse of native search), it pays to be discoverable. Visibility = sales.
👇 Everything below is live now and included on every plan – free or paid.
ChatGPT Shopping Feed
CartGenie can now create and maintain a product feed for ChatGPT, allowing your products to be considered for relevant shopping results in ChatGPT, which show up as product cards in chat for users. (More details on ChatGPT's website here.)
When a shopper selects one of your products, they’ll complete their purchase right on your own website.
To get started, first enable and prepare your feed in CartGenie, then apply to OpenAI for approval for your individual store.
Up to 4x Faster Product Pages & Checkout Loading
We’ve made significant improvements to how CartGenie serves product pages and checkout—resulting in a noticeably faster shopping experience on live stores.
Checkout steps now respond 2–4× faster in our measurements. Shipping, taxes, and totals update almost instantly as shoppers enter their address, while the multi-second pauses some shoppers experienced are largely gone.
A few examples:
- Saving a shipping address: around 1–2 seconds → ~0.3 seconds
- Saving an email: 1.6 seconds → under 0.5 seconds
- Opening checkout: average around 0.3 seconds, with 95% of checkout page loads rendering in under 0.5 seconds
The journey from loading a product page to selecting variants and adding to cart is faster, too.
All stores are automatically upgraded and you don't need to do anything on your side!
Set Product Purchase Limits
You can now set a minimum or maximum quantity of a product that can be purchased in a single order.
Purchase Limits are useful for product launches, case packs, made-to-order minimums, and any other situation where shoppers need to buy within a defined range.
