FAQ

Questions about Shopify + OpenAI.

How does GPT write Shopify product descriptions?
Shopify Product Created → pass title, type, vendor, tags + brand voice examples → GPT returns SEO-friendly description + bullets → Shopify Update Product with body_html.
Can GPT summarize Shopify product reviews?
Yes. Scheduled: fetch recent reviews per product → OpenAI summarizes love/complaints. Surface as internal dashboard or input for merchandising decisions.
How do I AI-classify Shopify customer service emails?
Gmail support inbox → OpenAI classifies (shipping, return, product issue, billing) → Shopify Update Customer with tag + Gmail Add Label. Route from there.
Can GPT generate post-purchase content from order details?
Yes. Shopify Order Created → GPT writes personalized thank-you using name + items + season → Send via Klaviyo/Gmail/SendGrid. Higher than template-blast feel.
How do I keep GPT descriptions SKU-accurate?
Pass actual product fields explicitly. Tell GPT in prompt: "only use facts from this JSON; don't invent specs". For physical products, include dimensions and materials verbatim.
Can GPT write multilingual Shopify descriptions?
Yes. Generate English first, then translate to each target language. Write to Shopify metafields per locale, or to your translation app's API.
