What does the Shopify integration do?
Most questions a Shopify store receives are about a product or about an order. The Puhera Shopify integration connects your chatbot to Shopify so it can answer both from your store's own data.
The connection runs over MCP (Model Context Protocol), an open protocol that gives AI applications a standard way to connect to external tools and data sources. During a conversation the bot reaches your store data and performs only the actions you allow.
Shopify data works alongside the Puhera knowledge base. Policy questions about shipping, returns or payment are answered from your website and uploaded files, with the source shown; product and order questions come from the Shopify connection.
What can shoppers ask the bot?
Picture a home textiles store. A shopper browsing late at night might ask:
- "Does this duvet cover set come in a queen size?"
- "Can you recommend a cotton bedspread that is machine washable?"
- "What colors is this item available in?"
- "What's the status of the order I placed last week?"
- "How many days do I have to return something?"
The first three are answered from product data, the fourth from order lookup and the last from the return policy in your knowledge base. Even when your team is offline, nobody is left without an answer.
What can the bot do with Shopify data?
- Answers product questions: Explains product details and options based on your store data.
- Recommends products: Surfaces items that match the need a shopper describes. The product recommendation chatbot page covers how this drives sales.
- Looks up orders: Handles "where is my order?" from store data and takes repetitive questions off your support team.
- Hands off to a human when needed: For sensitive topics like an exchange request or a complaint, it passes the shopper to a live agent, who sees the bot conversation first.
Purchases of products the bot recommended can be measured with Puhera's chatbot revenue tracking, so the reports show whether the bot is actually selling.
How is store data protected?
When you connect Shopify, you authorize access to your store and choose which actions the bot may take. Order details can include personal data, so make that choice deliberately.
- Domain restriction and embed-origin protection keep the bot running only on the sites you allow.
- Owner / Admin / Editor / Viewer roles control who can manage the integration.
- Visitor blocking and token-based API security add further protection.
