Configuring Store Access
Project-Level Setup

If you have multiple stores, choose which one this project accesses.
Multiple Stores
If you have multiple Shopify stores:- Connect each store separately in workspace settings
- Assign different stores to different projects
- AI knows which store to query based on project context
Using Shopify with AI Coworkers
In Project Chat
Ask AI about your store in any project with Shopify access:Inventory Management

Permissions Explained
Trilo requests read-only permissions by default. AI can view store data but won’t modify orders or inventory directly.
Best Practices
Create a dedicated e-commerce project
Create a dedicated e-commerce project
Set up a project specifically for store operations. Add your support and fulfillment team. This keeps store queries organized.
Use for quick lookups

AI is great for “what’s the status of…” and “how many…” questions. For complex operations, use Shopify admin directly.
Combine with tasks
Combine with tasks
When AI finds issues (low inventory, pending orders), ask it to create tasks. This keeps your team accountable.
Troubleshooting
AI can't find my orders
AI can't find my orders
Check that:
- The Shopify integration is connected at the workspace level
- The integration is assigned to your current project
- You’re asking about the correct store (if you have multiple)

The API credentials may have changed. Click Reconnect in Trilo and re-authorize in Shopify.
Data seems outdated
Data seems outdated
AI queries Shopify in real-time, but there might be brief delays. Try asking again or check Shopify admin directly for time-sensitive data.
Can't connect my store

Ensure:
- You’re a Shopify store admin
- Your store allows third-party apps
- You’re using the correct store URL format
Disconnecting Shopify
1
Go to Settings
Click Settings → Integrations.
2
Find Shopify
Locate the Shopify integration.
3
Click Disconnect
Confirm the disconnection.
Security Considerations
- OAuth-based: Uses Shopify OAuth, not API keys
- Read-only default: AI views data but doesn’t modify it
- Store-level access: You control which stores are connected
- Project-level control: Only projects you configure can access store data
