Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Shopify page builder and how is it different from a Shopify theme?
A Shopify page builder is a tool that lets you design pages visually using drag-and-drop sections or AI-generated layouts, without writing code. Unlike Shopify themes — which control your store's global layout and styling — page builders allow you to create custom landing pages, product pages, and content pages independently of your theme. Many merchants use page builders alongside a theme to gain more layout flexibility and conversion-focused design control.
What's the difference between an AI Shopify store builder and a drag-and-drop page builder?
An AI Shopify store builder automatically generates a store or page based on a short prompt (such as your niche or products), often creating layouts, copy, and structure in minutes. A drag-and-drop page builder gives you manual control to design pages visually section by section. AI builders are best for speed and starting points, while drag-and-drop builders are preferred for customization, branding, and long-term optimization. Many merchants use both together.
Can AI page builders really build a complete Shopify store?
AI page builders can generate a functional starting store — including homepage layouts, basic copy, and page structure — but they usually do not replace manual setup entirely. Merchants still need to review branding, product details, apps, navigation, and conversion elements. In practice, AI builders are most effective for rapid prototyping and first drafts, not fully finished production stores.
Are Shopify page builders bad for SEO?
No — Shopify page builders are not inherently bad for SEO. Modern page builders support clean HTML output, responsive design, and SEO controls like headings, meta data, and schema compatibility. SEO performance depends more on content quality, page speed, and structure than the builder itself. Poor SEO usually comes from overloading pages with unnecessary elements, not from using a page builder.
Do page builders slow down Shopify stores?
They can, but only if used incorrectly. Page builders that load excessive scripts, animations, or third-party widgets can impact performance. However, most leading Shopify page builders are optimized for speed and allow merchants to control what loads on each page. When used thoughtfully, page builders can create fast, high-converting pages that perform just as well as theme-built pages.
Should I use Shopify's built-in editor or a page builder app?
Shopify's built-in editor is ideal for simple stores and standard layouts. Page builder apps are better when you need custom landing pages, A/B testing, conversion-optimized sections, or advanced layouts that go beyond your theme's limitations. Merchants focused on growth, marketing campaigns, or CRO typically benefit more from a dedicated page builder.
Are AI Shopify page builders worth it for new stores?
For new stores, AI page builders can be worth it as a time-saving starting point. They reduce setup friction and help merchants launch faster. However, long-term success still depends on refining messaging, design, and offers. AI builders work best when paired with human review and optimization rather than used as a "set-and-forget" solution.
Can I switch page builders or stop using one later?
Yes, but with caveats. Most page builders create pages that depend on their app to render correctly. If you uninstall a page builder, pages built with it may stop displaying properly. This is why many merchants reserve page builders for landing pages and marketing pages, while keeping core pages (like checkout and navigation) theme-based to reduce long-term dependency.
