Shopify data in AI replies — what turns on when you enable the toggles

Understand what data BrandBastion’s AI can use once you enable the Shopify toggles in your prompts.

Coming soon!

Important for existing prompts
If you already have live prompts, you must enable these toggles for those prompts. New prompts default to enabled, existing ones default to disabled.


The two Shopify toggles

  1. Use Shopify product catalog to improve replies

  2. Use Shopify customer information to improve private replies

Turn them on in your prompt settings to unlock richer, more accurate answers.

Go to Control Panel > Engage Library > AI prompts and edit each prompt


What the AI can use in public replies

Even with toggles on, public replies never include customer‑specific data. The AI does not access or use any personal identifiers in public threads.

Always excluded in public conversations:

  • Email, phone, addresses

  • Whether a person has orders, order status, refunds

  • Buyer history summaries or any linked customer metadata

What it can use publicly:

  • Product catalog data for products that are positively matched to Shopify (see details below)


Toggle 1: Product catalog data (public and private)

When Use Shopify product catalog to improve replies is enabled, the AI can reference accurate product facts for identified products that are matched to Shopify.

Included product fields:

  • Product: title, vendor, product type, status, tags

  • Variants: variant title, SKU, price, compare‑at price (when present), inventory quantity

  • Inventory by location: top locations by available quantity

Why enable it:

  • Sharper specs and pricing context

  • Fewer “let me check” replies

  • Faster answers to availability questions


Toggle 2: Customer info for private replies

When Use Shopify customer information to improve private replies is enabled and the social profile is linked to a Shopify customer, the AI can use a small, privacy‑safe slice of buyer history to personalize private messages.

Included buyer history context:

  • Lifetime number of orders

  • BrandBastion derived tier signals (computed in‑product)

  • Last order date (date only)

Included recent order details (default window: last 60 days):

  • Order name and created date

  • Display‑friendly financial and fulfillment statuses

  • Total price

  • Items ordered: product title, variant title, quantity, SKU, pricing

  • Shipping and tracking summary: carrier name, tracking number partially masked, tracking URL

Why enable it:

  • More helpful private resolutions with less back‑and‑forth

  • Context to identify common issues and next best action
