How to connect Claude or ChatGPT to your progress bar

Connect your assistant

1. In the app menu, open Connect AI (Beta).
2. Choose your assistant (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and others) and follow the steps shown: copy the address, add it as a connector, then approve the connection with your Shopify account.
3. Once your assistant has used the connection, it appears under Connected AI clients.

Adding a custom connector in Claude requires a Pro, Max, Team or Enterprise plan. For what the connection can and cannot reach, see Connect your AI.

Get started in one request

Under Try these requests, copy the first request and paste it into your conversation:

Help me get started with Yaco Progress Bar: review my setup, then create my first goal with me.

The app calls tiers "goals", so the request does too. The assistant then:

• checks which store it is connected to, with its currency and languages;
• sums up what is already set up, and whether the app embed is on: without it, the bar does not show on your storefront;
• suggests a first tier from your shipping rates and automatic discounts;
• creates it once you agree, and tells you what the bar now shows.

What your assistant does before changing anything

When your assistant connects, Yaco Progress Bar sends it these working rules:

• it reads your configuration before changing it;
• it describes the changes it plans and waits for your agreement. One agreement can cover several changes presented together;
• before a series of changes, it takes a backup you can restore. Every change to your configuration is also backed up automatically, and can be restored for 72 hours;
• on the free plan, it tells you before creating a second tier if your storefront only shows one (see subscription).

Yaco Progress Bar also tells your assistant which actions only read and which change or delete something, so assistants that support it ask for your approval themselves. These rules are not a lock: some assistants run actions without asking. Check your assistant's settings if you want it to ask for approval before each action.

A change does not show on the storefront

Your storefront keeps the bar in cache for a few minutes. Wait a moment and reload the page before concluding that a change failed. If the bar does not show at all, see the bar does not show.

"No connection in progress" or "Connection unavailable"

The Authorize AI connection page only works when your assistant opens it, during the connection. Opened from a bookmark or your browser history, it shows No connection in progress. A request left open for more than 10 minutes, or already answered, shows Connection unavailable. In both cases, start the connection again from your assistant, or open Connect AI (Beta) from the button on that page.

Disconnect an assistant

On Connect AI (Beta), click Revoke next to the assistant under Connected AI clients. It loses access straight away.
