The problem it solves

Keeping a clean, up-to-date record of every order for reporting means someone has to manually copy data out of Shopify, and that's easy to forget or fall behind on. Without webhooks set up, you're stuck checking and re-entering orders by hand.

Who it fits

E-commerce and finance teams using Shopify who want a reliable spreadsheet record of every order without manual entry.

How it works

  1. On a regular schedule, it checks for orders placed since the last check
  2. Order details like product, quantity, price, and shipping are pulled
  3. AI reviews each order and adds a category, priority, and notes
  4. The finished record is saved as a new row in a spreadsheet
  5. The last-checked time is updated so no order is logged twice
What you get

Orders that land in your records automatically

Every new Shopify order is logged with a category and priority note, giving you a running record you can trust without opening Shopify.

What you get

An always-current spreadsheet of every order with AI-added category and priority notes.

What you need

A Shopify account, a Google Sheets account, and an OpenAI API key.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
