Shopify Native Integration

The AI Shopping Assistant for Your Shopify Store

Your Shopify store gets an AI employee that reads shopper intent, recommends the right products, adds items to cart via the Storefront API, and hands off directly to Shopify's native checkout — all from one chat widget. One script tag. Live in 90 seconds.

Setup

How Shopify integration works.

01

Paste your Shopify domain + Storefront API token

In your Shopify admin, go to Apps → Develop apps → Create an app, then enable the Storefront API and copy the token. Paste it in Pipecat alongside your store domain.

02

Products sync automatically via Shopify API

Pipecat connects to your Shopify Storefront API and indexes every product — titles, descriptions, prices, variants, images. New products and price changes are reflected automatically.

03

Embed one script tag

Copy a single <script> tag into your Shopify theme's layout.liquid (or any custom storefront). No app install, no plugin, nothing in the Shopify App Store required.

04

AI reads intent, adds to cart, surfaces checkout

Shoppers describe what they want in natural language. The AI recommends products, handles variant selection, creates a Shopify cart, and surfaces a checkout_url that takes the shopper directly to Shopify's checkout.

Checkout Flow

Cart in chat. Checkout on Shopify.

The checkout happens on Shopify's own checkout page — your existing payment methods, shipping rules, and tax configuration all apply automatically.

1

Shopper describes what they want

Natural-language query — "blue kurta for a wedding under ₹1500" or "gift for my sister, she likes handmade things". The AI extracts intent: occasion, style, price, material, gender, age.

2

AI recommends, shopper picks, cart is built

Products are surfaced with images and prices. The shopper selects a variant (size, color), and Pipecat calls the Shopify Storefront API to create a cart with the exact line items.

3

One click to Shopify checkout

A Checkout button appears in the chat. Clicking it takes the shopper to Shopify's native checkout page via a checkout_url — where your payment gateway, shipping, and taxes handle the rest.

Important:The checkout happens on Shopify's checkout page — not inside the chat widget. Pipecat builds the cart and generates the checkout URL; everything else (payment, shipping, taxes, order confirmation) is handled by your existing Shopify setup. This means no PCI scope changes and no new payment integrations needed.

Shopify-Specific Features

Everything Shopify, out of the box.

Native Storefront API integration

Pipecat uses the Shopify Storefront API directly — not a scraper. Product data is always accurate, variant-aware, and includes metafields if you expose them.

Auto product sync

New products, price changes, inventory updates — all reflected in the assistant automatically via the API. No manual re-indexing needed.

Variant selection in chat

Shoppers can pick size, color, or any Shopify variant from inside the chat. The correct variant is added to the Shopify cart.

checkout_url handoff

When the shopper is ready, Pipecat generates a Shopify checkout URL and presents a Checkout button. One click, and they're on your Shopify checkout page.

Storefront API token (not Admin API)

Setup only requires a read-only Storefront API token — never your Admin API key. Minimal permissions, maximum safety.

One script tag — no Shopify app

Embed Pipecat by adding one <script> tag to your theme. Nothing to install from the Shopify App Store, no compatibility issues with your existing apps.

Intent Intelligence

Reads what shoppers actually mean.

Most Shopify search bars match keywords. The Pipecat AI extracts intent — what the shopper is really looking for — and maps it to the right products in your catalog.

  • Occasion (wedding, birthday, festival)
  • Style (traditional, minimalist, trendy)
  • Price range (under ₹500, budget-friendly)
  • Material (cotton, linen, handmade)
  • Product type (kurta, earrings, gift set)
  • Gender & age group

Questions

Shopify FAQ.

Do I need to install anything from the Shopify App Store?+

No. Pipecat is embedded via a single <script> tag added to your theme's layout.liquid. There is no Shopify app to install, no compatibility issues, and no App Store approval needed.

How do I get a Storefront API token?+

In your Shopify admin, go to Settings → Apps and sales channels → Develop apps. Create a new app, then under the Storefront API tab enable storefront access (products, collections, cart). Copy the Storefront API access token and paste it into Pipecat.

Does checkout actually happen inside the chat?+

No — the cart is built in chat, but checkout happens on Shopify's own checkout page. When the shopper clicks Checkout, they are taken to a Shopify checkout_url where your existing payment methods, shipping rules, and taxes apply. Nothing changes about how Shopify handles payments.

Will product updates in Shopify sync automatically?+

Yes. Because Pipecat connects via the Shopify Storefront API, new products, price changes, and inventory updates are reflected automatically — no manual re-index needed.

What intent dimensions does the AI extract?+

Occasion, style, price range, material, product type, gender, and age group. These are extracted from natural-language queries and matched against your Shopify catalog using semantic search.

Is there a free trial?+

Yes. The Growth plan starts with a 3-day free trial — no charge today. After the trial, Growth is ₹1,599 (~$19 USD) per month.
