AI for Shopify
AI agents read and write through the official Shopify Admin API and react to webhooks for new orders, payments and stock changes. That means faster order handling, support replies grounded in live order data, and product content kept up to date at scale — with a human in the loop for sensitive actions.
UnifyAI offers AI integrations with Shopify for SMEs. Our AI Agents connect to Shopify to automate business processes — securely, with EU hosting and human-in-the-loop so you stay in control of sensitive actions. Implementation typically in 2-3 weeks, fully GDPR-compliant.
What our AI does with Shopify
Use cases
Automate order processing
On every new order the agent enriches customer and order data and prepares a confirmation, fraud check or fulfilment task via webhook. You decide which steps can run automatically.
Flag and restock inventory
The agent tracks stock levels in Shopify and automatically prepares a purchase suggestion or alert when items run low, so you're never caught out by a sold-out product.
Support with order context
Questions like "where's my package" get answered using live shipping status from Shopify and your carrier. The agent escalates to a team member when the situation gets complex.
Write product content at scale
For new or existing products the agent drafts titles, descriptions and variants in your brand voice. You approve before anything goes live through the API.
Sync orders to accounting
Once an order is paid, the agent prepares the transaction — including VAT and payment status — for your accounting software. That saves manual entry and reduces errors in your books.
Reporting for management
Periodic summaries of revenue, bestsellers and exceptions from Shopify land automatically in an overview for you or your management team, without manual exports.
Questions about AI + Shopify
What can an AI agent actually do with Shopify?
An agent processes new orders, answers customer questions about delivery and returns, tracks inventory and drafts product content. Everything runs through the official Admin API and webhooks, so there's no risky tinkering with your theme or core.
What does an AI integration with Shopify cost?
A ready-made AI agent starts at €2,500, a custom project from €5,000, depending on the number of workflows and systems involved. Standalone consultancy is available from €1,000.
How fast is the Shopify integration live?
A standard integration is typically operational within 2 to 3 weeks. More complex projects spanning multiple systems take 4 to 6 weeks. We start within 5 business days of the intake.
Is it GDPR-compliant and where is my data stored?
Yes. We process data on EU servers, including Azure West Europe, and work under a data processing agreement. We also support a DPIA on request.
Does this work with my Shopify plan?
The integration uses the official Shopify Admin API, available on the standard paid plans. Heavy GraphQL bulk operations or higher API limits may call for a higher-tier plan, which we check during intake.
Can Shopify be connected to our other systems?
Yes. Common combinations are Mollie for payments, Exact Online for accounting and Klaviyo for email marketing. Connections to your CRM or support desk are possible too.
Do we stay in control of what the AI does?
Yes. Sensitive or final actions — like changing an order or adjusting a price — go through an approval step by default. You decide per workflow what can run fully automatically, and we maintain and monitor the integration.
