For Shopify stores
Your Shopify store, selling in Instagram DMs — with checkout links.

How it works
Three steps in one chat, from your store address to a test checkout link.
- 1
Add MyChatBot in Claude

Open Claude's directoryManual fallback: in Claude, Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector, then paste this URL.

Paste your store address
Ask in plain words, and Claude sets up the assistant from your catalog. The first 250 products are searchable within a couple of minutes; the rest syncs right after.
Set up an assistant that sells my Shopify store https://yourstore.com in my Instagram DMs and on my website.

Test it, then sell in DMs
Claude runs a private test chat, so you see the answers before any shopper does. The website widget connects from the chat; Instagram, Messenger and WhatsApp sign in through Meta in the dashboard.
Test chat → checkout link
From a question to a filled cart
Behind the chat, the assistant searches your synced catalog and creates one link for the exact variant and quantity. When a product comes in several variants, it asks which one the shopper wants and never picks for them.
↳Illustrative conversation: the store, product and prices are made up. Your assistant answers from your own catalog as of the last sync.
Checkout links
An assistant that uses a Shopify feed gets checkout links automatically, in every channel it runs in.
The link is on your store’s address and opens your Shopify checkout with the chosen items already in the cart. The shopper pays as usual.
It can add a discount code to the link, but only one you gave it, such as WELCOME10 for first-time buyers. Shopify checks the code at checkout.
Orders placed through these links carry the referral code mychatbot. Find it in the order’s Conversion summary in Shopify admin.
What syncs, and what doesn’t
MyChatBot reads the same public product data your storefront shows shoppers, plus the store currency. A product counts once toward your catalog capacity, however many variants it has.
Synced
- Products: title, description, type, vendor (brand) and tags
- Every variant: options such as size and color, price, sale (compare-at) price, in stock or sold out, SKU
- Images and product links
- The store currency
–Not synced
- Orders and order status
- Customers
- Discounts
- Inventory quantities (only in stock or sold out)
- Subscriptions and selling plans
The assistant answers from the last sync, not live from your store. Keep auto-update on with a refresh every 6 hours or once a day, and refresh by hand after a large change. Keep prices and stock fresh
Works alongside Shopify’s connector for Claude
They do different jobs, and you can add both to Claude and use them in one conversation.
Shopify’s official connector for Claude lets Claude manage your store: products, inventory and orders.
The MyChatBot connector builds the assistant that sells those products to shoppers on your website, Instagram, Messenger, WhatsApp and Telegram.
For example, add a product with Shopify’s connector, then ask MyChatBot to run a test chat about it after the next sync. Using both connectors
Questions before you start
Do I need a Shopify app or API keys?
No. There is nothing to install and no key to create: MyChatBot reads the same public product data your storefront shows shoppers, plus the store currency.
My store has a password page. Will it work?
Not while the password is on: a password-protected store can’t be read. Remove the password when the store opens; meanwhile, the feed URL from a Google Shopping feed app works for search, but without checkout links.
How fresh are prices and stock?
As fresh as the last sync: the assistant doesn’t read your store live. Keep auto-update on and set the refresh period to every 6 hours or once a day. If stock changes between syncs, an item can show as sold out at checkout; a shorter refresh period narrows the gap.
Which channels can it sell in?
Your website widget, Instagram, Messenger, WhatsApp, Telegram and other channels, with checkout links in all of them. The widget and a Telegram bot connect from the chat in Claude; Instagram, Messenger and WhatsApp sign in through Meta in the dashboard, and Claude gives you a link that opens it already signed in.
Can it look up orders or sell subscriptions?
No. Shopify orders aren’t synced, so the assistant can’t check an order’s status; tell it in its instructions where shoppers can. Checkout links don’t support subscription products, so for those the assistant shares the product link instead.
Can I set it up without Claude?
Yes. In the dashboard, open Knowledge, connect a Product Feed and paste your store address. In Claude Code or Codex, the MyChatBot plugin runs the same workflow.
What do I need, and what does it cost?
A Shopify store and a MyChatBot account with a Sales plan or an active free trial; signing up through Claude starts the trial. To set it up from Claude, you need the Claude app on the web or desktop. Each product counts once toward your plan’s catalog capacity, however many variants it has. Pricing
