Shopify import

Pull your Shopify catalog into MentionFlow so you can see whether AI shopping assistants recommend your actual products. No app install, no OAuth.

When ChatGPT builds a shopping carousel, is it putting your products on the shelf, or your competitors'? You can only answer that once MentionFlow knows what you sell. The Shopify import is the fastest way to tell it. It reads your storefront and loads your catalog. Then every product an AI assistant recommends can be matched back to a real product of yours.

It works off your store's public product listing. No app to install, no OAuth to approve, no permissions to grant. If your storefront is public, MentionFlow can read it.

How to import your Shopify catalog

The "Add products to your catalog" dialog on the Shopping page, on the "Import from Shopify" tab: a store-URL field and a Fetch catalog button, with a note that it reads the store's public products.json (no app install, no OAuth). (Demo mode; sign in with a live brand to import.)

  1. Go to Shopping and click Add products, then open the Import from Shopify tab.
  2. Enter your store URL (for example yourstore.com) and click Fetch catalog. MentionFlow reads the store's public products.json, up to 1,000 products, and shows you a preview of what it found.
  3. Check the preview and Confirm to import. Nothing is written to your catalog until you do.

Your product title, vendor, first-variant price, first image, and product type all map straight into your catalog. Currency is left blank. Shopify's public feed does not state one, and MentionFlow will not guess. So a price comparison that needs a shared currency shows an em-dash instead of a made-up number. You can fill currency in yourself afterward.

Re-importing later is safe. The same products update in place instead of piling up duplicates. Refresh your catalog as often as you like.

Under the hood

The import reads only your storefront's public products.json endpoint. It re-checks every row on the server before writing, so a broken or partial feed cannot quietly corrupt your catalog. Once your products are in, they are matched automatically against the AI shopping carousels MentionFlow has already captured. See Imports for the preview-then-confirm flow every importer uses.

Good to know

  • Today MentionFlow reads the public products.json only. A full OAuth app, for private storefronts and richer fields, is planned.
  • Up to 1,000 products per import.
