How it works

Eight stages from install to knowing what sold. Each one shows what you do, what the app does, and what you get.

Stage 1

Connect your store

You: Install from Shopify and approve access to products, inventory and orders.
The app: Syncs your catalog, stock, unit costs and sales quantities. It reads no customer fields.
Result: A Products page showing the contribution and margin of each variant, and what's missing.

The Products screen with filters for missing cost, out of stock and low stock. — Preview build with sample data.

Stage 2

Fill in what Shopify doesn't know

You: Add missing unit costs and your fees. Costs can be typed in or imported from a CSV.
The app: Uses your entry over Shopify's cost, and says which source each number came from.
Result: Margins you can trust. Where a cost is missing, the app says so rather than guessing.

Stage 3

Connect ChatGPT Ads, or use sample data

You: Paste an API key from Ads Manager, and add conversion tracking if you want sales in its reports. To look around first, turn on sample data.
The app: Stores the key encrypted and reads your account, campaigns and daily results. Sample data is labelled everywhere it appears.
Result: Campaigns and results next to your store's numbers.

Stage 4

Set your limits

You: Set a total daily budget, campaign minimums and maximums, promotion limits and any protected campaigns.
The app: Starts with shadow mode, a 20% maximum change per step, a 24-hour cooldown and a 15% maximum discount.
Result: A clear boundary that's checked on the server before any change is sent.

The Policies screen with the pause switch, automation mode and budget limits. — Preview build with sample data.

Stage 5

Read the first reviews

You: Open Agent activity and read what it found. Approve, reject or mark items done.
The app: Reviews spend, stock, costs and margins every day. In shadow mode it records what it would do and sends nothing.
Result: A record of what the agent would have done, so you can judge it before trusting it.

A recommendation with its evidence, proposed action and policy check. — Preview build with sample data.

Stage 6

Plan what's next

You: Look at the products picking up in Opportunities, price a discount, and describe a campaign in Marketing studio or build it step by step.
The app: Drafts strategy and copy from your product facts, then runs pre-launch checks.
Result: A reviewed draft ready to publish. You start campaigns yourself in Ads Manager.

Describe a campaign in Marketing studio: the request, what the app understood, the products it chose with stock, margin and units sold, and a button to create the draft. — Illustration of the app screen, with sample data.

Stage 7

See what sold

You: Open Results by product, Creatives and Spend and sales over time.
The app: Keeps the platform's count, the orders Shopify confirms and the net after refunds apart, and scores each ad against the others in its campaign.
Result: Your next campaign starts from what really sold, not from the platform's count alone.

Results by product, with the platform's count, verified orders and the net after refunds. — Illustration of the app screen, with sample data.

Stage 8

Decide how far it goes

You: Stay in shadow mode, require approval, or allow limited automatic changes on Growth and Pro.
The app: In limited automatic mode, applies low-risk decreases and pauses within your daily allowance. Everything else waits for you.
Result: Every step in the audit log, and one switch that pauses all changes.

The audit log listing events with their time and actor. — Preview build with sample data.
