Athena helps you build a polished, launch-ready store with complete pages, products, and localized copy. From there, it keeps the business moving by creating products in bulk, setting up discounts, configuring shipping, and launching ad campaigns. Payments, logistics, fulfillment, and loyalty are built into the same platform, so the store Athena creates is not just a storefront. It is ready to operate as a real business.
Congratulations again on the launch! I gave Athena a try on my iPhone and was impressed by the concept and how much it aims to automate for merchants. I wasn't able to complete my setup because it currently supports desktop only, but I'm looking forward to testing the full experience on my laptop. Wishing you all the best with the launch!

@phebean_omaivboje Thanks for giving it a go, and sorry you hit the wall there. Worth separating two things: the storefront Athena builds is fully mobile-optimised, and it should be — that's where your customers actually browse and check out. The merchant side is a different problem. Running a store means handling a lot of moving parts at once, and we made a deliberate trade: rather than compress that into a phone screen, we put the depth and the better experience on desktop so the tooling is genuinely professional instead of merely available everywhere. Selling well matters more to us than being usable on every device, and the laptop experience is the one built to that standard.

@phebean_omaivboje Thanks Phebean, for trying Athena! We’d love to hear your thoughts once you’ve had a chance to explore it on your laptop. Any feedback or suggestions are always welcome!
Does it just copy the layout or actually rebuild everything with its own logic?
Athena by Shoplazza
@boyuan_deng1 Great question — it's the latter, and honestly that's the hardest part we built.
Athena doesn't screenshot-and-clone. It runs a semantic pass first: it breaks the source down into structured intent — brand tone, product architecture, section purposes (hero vs. social proof vs. conversion blocks) — then rebuilds each section from our own component system with design tokens (spacing, type scale, color roles) inferred to match the brand, not the pixels.

@boyuan_deng1 Kelvin covered the technical side well. From the merchant’s perspective, Athena preserves the brand direction and conversion intent of the reference, then turns it into a complete, editable Shoplazza store. Product pages, collections, cart, and checkout are all part of the result, so you can keep customizing the store and run it as a real business rather than being left with a static visual copy.

Congrats on the launch, Ryan! The marketing campaign automation looks solid. Can it handle seasonal promos like BFCM end to end?
Athena by Shoplazza
@justin2025 Thanks, Justin! Athena can already handle much of a BFCM workflow, including campaign planning, promotional visuals, discount setup, and launching and optimizing Meta ads. The entire seasonal campaign is not yet fully autonomous end to end, and merchants still review key decisions before anything goes live. That connected workflow is exactly where we’re heading.

Solo founder here. The idea of delegating store ops to an AI and just reviewing results sounds almost too good. Will test and report back.

@s_cen Thank you Steven! Yes please have a try and look forward to your feedback.
Athena by Shoplazza
@s_cen "Almost too good" is the right amount of skepticism to bring, and testing beats taking our word for it. Where it holds up best is the repetitive middle of the day — bulk product work, discounts, shipping setup, order handling, the ad testing loop. Where you'll still be doing the thinking is the calls that are actually yours: what to sell, what the brand should be, what a drop in conversion means for your strategy. Genuinely looking forward to the report back, including the parts that fall short.
Nice launch! The product-photo-to-lifestyle-creative workflow sounds especially useful for smaller brands that can’t organize a new photoshoot every week.
Athena by Shoplazza
@sandy_liusy Thanks, Sandy! That’s exactly one of the use cases we had in mind. Smaller brands shouldn’t have to organize a new photoshoot for every campaign. With Athena, a single product photo can be turned into model shots, lifestyle scenes, and a complete set of ecommerce visuals, with the flexibility to refine every result further.
Upvoted! How does pricing work for sellers just starting out?
Athena by Shoplazza
@phoenixhu Hi zhiyuan, for sellers who are just getting started, our Basic plan helps them launch without a heavy investment. It starts at $39/month. As their business grows, they can explore more advanced capabilities and features.

@etiennegarcia Thanks, Etienne! That balance is central to how we designed Athena. She takes on the repetitive execution while keeping every important change visible and reviewable before it affects the live store. We really appreciate your support!
