Customers expect fast answers while they shop. Without a tight Shopify connection, they bounce between product pages, FAQs, and support, which increases friction and tickets. The Brainfish + Shopify integration turns your catalog, pages, and store policies into in-product help that resolves questions instantly. Brainfish delivers AI customer service on product pages and checkout, keeps Shopify content in sync, and surfaces analytics that show what to improve next.

How does AI customer service work with Brainfish and Shopify?

Map fields and content types: Choose products, pages, and policies to sync, and map fields to Brainfish topics.
Choose your sync cadence: Enable real-time updates with Shopify webhooks or set a scheduled refresh.
Install the in-store AI agent: Add the widget using a theme app embed following the Shopify theme app extensions overview.
Monitor performance and iterate: Track resolution, deflection, and gaps in Customer Analytics.

What results should I expect?

Most stores see faster answers, fewer repetitive tickets, and higher conversion as answers meet shoppers in context.

Self-service rate = resolved by AI agent ÷ total support intents.
Ticket deflection = tickets avoided after an AI answer ÷ historical baseline.
Time to first answer = median seconds from question to first helpful response.
Article freshness = percent of synced pages updated within SLA.
Coverage of top queries = percent of top 50 questions with confident answers.
