Make the most out of your data with Shopify to ChatGPT integration

With Windsor.ai, you can analyze your Shopify metrics in ChatGPT in plain English. Here are four analyses to start with:

Identify slow-moving products

Find products with inventory or product listings that receive very few orders over a specific time period. This helps highlight items that may require pricing adjustments, promotions, or removal from your catalog.

Get AI-driven recommendations

ChatGPT not only analyzes your Shopify data but also generates an action plan to optimize pricing, promotions, products, and operations. With clear guidance, you can take the next steps to improve sales, inventory, and overall store performance.

Perform cross-channel analysis

Combine Shopify with marketing sources to see if specific marketing campaigns (via order_customer_last_visit_utm_campaign) are driving high-volume but low-quality sales that result in above-average refund rates. With these insights, you can cut spending on traffic that brings orders but costs a lot in returns. Combining sources needs a paid plan. The free forever plan includes 1 data source.

Analyze repeat purchase behavior

ChatGPT interprets customer order counts and last order metrics to detect customers who buy repeatedly. Identify loyal customer segments and opportunities for retention campaigns, subscriptions, or loyalty programs.

We asked ChatGPT, through the Windsor.ai plugin: “For my Shopify store windsor-guide-test, count the products by status (active, draft, archived). Then list the active product variants with no units available for sale, with product title, variant title and variant price. Use product data only and do not show any customer data.”

The answer comes from Shopify product fields: product_status, product_title, product_variant_title, product_variant_price and product_variant_inventory_quantity.

The store has 17 products: 15 active, 1 draft and 1 archived. Six active variants had no units available: the four Gift Card values ($10, $25, $50 and $100), The Out of Stock Snowboard and The Inventory Not Tracked Snowboard. ChatGPT noted that the untracked snowboard shows zero because Shopify does not count its stock, so a zero there does not mean it cannot be sold.

This check uses current stock levels, which the free forever plan covers.

Connect your store once with a Shopify Dev Dashboard app, then query your data in natural language. For example prompts and the fields to use, see how to connect Shopify to ChatGPT.

Shopify analytics prompts to try in ChatGPT:

Analyze Shopify sales for the last 30 days and summarize revenue, orders, AOV, discounts, and top-performing products.
Review canceled orders and explain whether cancellations are concentrated in specific products, channels, or customer segments.
Identify all products where the current inventory levels are in the bottom 10% but sales velocity has increased by more than 20% over the last 14 days. Suggest a prioritized restock list.
Filter my customer data to find users with a Lifetime Value (LTV, customer_total_spent) in the top 5% who haven’t purchased in the last 45 days. Draft a personalized re-engagement email for this segment.

Prompts that cover more than 30 days need a paid plan. The free forever plan includes the last 30 days.

What prompts I can use to analyze Shopify data in ChatGPT?

Beyond basic summaries and reports, use more specific and advanced prompts to gain deeper insights into your Shopify store’s performance. For example:

Calculate the 'Fee Burden' (Shopify Payments processing fees as a % of revenue) for each product category. Identify 'High Burden, Low Velocity' items that are draining cash flow and recommend a liquidation strategy for them.

Group customers by first purchase month and calculate the revenue, average order value, and repeat purchase rate for each cohort over time. Identify which cohorts generate the highest lifetime value and explain what acquisition periods or promotions may have contributed to their performance.

Identify customers who made 2 or more purchases in the past but have not ordered again in the last 60 days. Estimate the potential revenue at risk from these customers and suggest retention actions such as targeted offers or re-engagement campaigns.

List the top 3 products with the highest refund rates this month. Cross-reference this with the refund notes and tell me if a specific vendor or fulfillment service is causing these issues.

Prompts that cover more than 30 days need a paid plan. The free forever plan includes the last 30 days.
