E-commerce brands can now connect their Shopify stores to Noodle Seed and make their entire product catalog available through ChatGPT Apps. When customers ask about products, your ChatGPT App has access to real product data—not outdated information from AI training.

TL;DR

  • Noodle Seed syncs your full Shopify catalog—products, inventory, prices, images, collections, tags, and variants
  • Data syncs to Noodle Seed and is served when users interact with your ChatGPT App
  • Available on Pro ($499/month) and Enterprise plans
  • No real-time webhooks required—one-time import plus periodic sync keeps data fresh

Why This Matters for E-Commerce

When a customer asks ChatGPT "What running shoes do you have under $100?"—the AI can only answer based on what it knows. Without integration, ChatGPT might reference your brand from old training data, but it won't know your current inventory, prices, or new arrivals.

With Noodle Seed's Shopify integration, your ChatGPT App has access to your actual product catalog. The AI can recommend specific products with accurate prices because it's pulling from synced Shopify data.

The difference this makes:

  • Without integration: "I don't have access to current inventory..."
  • With integration: "Here are 3 running shoes under $100: the Trail Runner Pro at $89, the Speed Lite at $79..."

What Gets Synced

When you connect your Shopify store, Noodle Seed syncs your complete product catalog:

Full catalog sync includes:

  • Products: Titles, descriptions, and handles
  • Inventory: Stock levels for each product and variant
  • Prices: Regular prices, compare-at prices, and currency
  • Images: Product photos with alt text
  • Collections: How products are organized in your store
  • Tags: Product tags for categorization
  • Variants: Sizes, colors, and other product options

This data is stored in Noodle Seed and served when users interact with your ChatGPT App.

How the Sync Works

Noodle Seed's Shopify integration uses a combination of one-time and periodic syncs:

Sync process:

  • 1.Initial Sync: When you first connect your store, Noodle Seed pulls your complete product catalog from Shopify.
  • 2.Periodic Updates: Your catalog is automatically re-synced on a regular schedule to capture new products, price changes, and inventory updates.
  • 3.Data Serving: When a user asks your ChatGPT App about products, Noodle Seed serves the synced data—fast and reliably.

This approach balances data freshness with performance. You get up-to-date product information without the complexity of maintaining a real-time connection.

Example Use Cases

Fashion Retailer

A boutique clothing store connects Shopify to Noodle Seed. When a customer asks their ChatGPT App "Show me summer dresses under $80," the app can search the synced catalog and return matching products with current prices and availability.

Sports Equipment Brand

An outdoor gear company uses the integration to power a product advisor ChatGPT App. Users can ask "What's your best tent for backpacking?" and get recommendations based on actual inventory, not generic advice.

Beauty & Skincare

A skincare brand syncs their product catalog so customers can ask "What do you recommend for dry skin?" and receive product suggestions with accurate descriptions and prices.
