FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, through Lemonado. Connect your Shopify store in Lemonado, add Lemonado as a remote connector in Perplexity, and Perplexity can see what's selling and what's about to run out with your live data.

Not for store data. Shopify's own MCP servers do other jobs: Dev MCP helps developers search Shopify's docs and APIs, and Storefront MCP lets shopping assistants browse a store's public products and cart. Neither gives Claude or ChatGPT your orders, revenue and customers. Lemonado gives Perplexity your orders and customers, next to your ad spend.

Open the Lemonado connector card and check it's switched on and signed in. Custom connectors need Perplexity Pro, Max or Enterprise. In Lemonado, check that Shopify is connected and External tools is on for the company. If orders look short, check you connected the right store and that your staff account can view orders. Shopify only shares what that account can see.

Yes, if both are connected in Lemonado. One connection reaches every source you allow, so you can ask things like "Put Meta and Google Ads spend next to Shopify revenue by week for the last quarter."

MCP is included in Lemonado's paid plans and in the free trial, so you can try it before you pay.
