How to get your Shopify products into ChatGPT

Step one: stop being excluded

Nothing else matters until this is clean. Check for zero prices, missing images, unpublished products, Unlisted status and the seo.hidden flag. These are pass-or-fail.

• Every product has a title and at least one image
• Every product has a price above zero
• Every product is published to a storefront channel
• No product you want recommended is Unlisted or hidden from search engines
• Your storefront is not password protected

Step two: make matching possible

Fill the fields Shopify names: type, vendor, collections, tags, barcode and real variant option names. Write descriptions that mention the attributes shoppers actually ask about rather than restating the title.

Step three: publish policies

Assistants reference your refund, privacy and terms pages when a shopper asks how you operate. Unpublished policies mean the assistant cannot vouch for you at the moment of decision.

Step four: measure, then repeat

Ask buying questions from your category and count how often you are named. Catalogs drift after every bulk import and theme change, so this is maintenance rather than a project.
