Interactive shopping experiences with Shop Minis
Shop Minis are interactive shopping experiences in the Shop app that help you discover products through features such as quizzes, shoppable videos, virtual try-ons, and curated recommendations. Shop Minis are built either by Shopify, or by third-party developers who are part of the Shopify Partner program. Each Shop Mini is reviewed by Shop before it's added to the Shop app.
When you open a Shop Mini that personalizes your experience, you might be asked to share some of your Shop data. Learn how to manage your Shop Minis data permissions.
