Ask AI about your store

You probably already ask ChatGPT or Claude for help. Connect it to MintLink once, and it can answer questions about your own store with your real numbers:

• "How did my sales go this week?"
• "Which product sells best, and why?"
• "Rewrite my product description so more people buy."
• "When is my next payout?"

It takes about a minute, and you only do it once.

#Connect your AI app

Open AI apps in your dashboard menu. You'll see the page Ask AI about your store. Pick the AI app you use 1.

MintLink shows you three steps for that app. Tap the green Open button 1. MintLink copies your private link and opens your AI app in a new tab.

In your AI app, paste the link where it asks for a connector or "MCP server URL", and add it. The exact clicks for each app are below.

#Approve it on MintLink

Your AI app then opens a MintLink page asking for your OK. It lists exactly what the app can see, and what it can never get.

• Check the website name under the heading. It should be your AI app's website (for example claude.ai). If it isn't, tap Cancel.
• Buyer names, emails and phone numbers 1 are not shared unless you tick this box. Most people leave it off.
• Tap Allow read access 2. You're sent back to your AI app, connected.

Back on MintLink, your app now shows under Connected.

#Start asking

Once you're connected, the AI apps page shows ready-made questions. Tap Ask Claude (or Ask ChatGPT) 1 and the question opens in your AI app, typed in and ready to send. For other apps, tap Copy and paste it.

Or just type your own question in your AI app, in your own words. Mention MintLink so it knows to look at your store:

Some AI apps also list MintLink's ready-made prompts, like Weekly review or Should I change my price?, in their menu next to the message box.

#What the AI can see

It can see: your sales and earnings, your orders, your products (descriptions, prices, discount codes, views), buyer star ratings and comments, visits to your pages and where visitors came from, and your payouts.

It can never get: your bank account or ID documents, your password, or any way to change things. It can't edit, refund, pay out or message anyone.

Buyer names, emails and phone numbers are only shared if you ticked that box when you connected.

#Steps for each app

3. Click Create. Name it MintLink, paste your link and choose OAuth.

2. Click Settings, then Connected Apps.

3. Name it MintLink, paste your link into Server URL and click Connect.

#Another AI app

If your AI app lets you add a "custom connector" or "MCP server", copy your MintLink link from the AI apps page and paste it there.

#If something goes wrong

#Disconnect an app

Open AI apps on MintLink and tap Disconnect 1 next to the app. It stops seeing your store immediately. You can connect it again any time.
