# Use Shopify data in Crisp

After the integration is connected, Shopify data becomes available from Crisp conversations. This helps agents understand who the customer is and what order or cart they are asking about.

#### Synchronized Shopify details

![Shopify data synchronized in Crisp](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/6/f/3/5/6f35b50d31e35c00/89260731-40d8-4a7a-98b7-026803_1b0578c.png)

# Automate support with Shopify data

Shopify events and customer information can help you build better support workflows and campaigns. For example, you can use ecommerce context to segment customers, personalize replies, or trigger automations based on order activity.

__Common automation use cases include:__

* ****Customer segmentation**** → use Shopify tags or synced customer properties in Crisp
* ****Order-based workflows**** → react to ecommerce events and order changes
* ****Personalized templates**** → include Shopify data in support replies when relevant
* ****Multichannel support**** → keep customer context when conversations come from chat, email, social, or messaging channels

# Connect Hugo AI Agent to Shopify

Hugo can use native MCP integrations to fetch supported Shopify information, such as customer profile details or order status, when the integration is connected and enabled.

| See [How to use Hugo Integrations](/en/article/how-to-use-hugo-integrations-6z9yhh/) to connect Shopify tools to Hugo.

# Troubleshooting

If the chatbox does not appear or recent Shopify features are missing, start with the Shopify plugin settings in Crisp.

__Useful checks:__

* ****Widget display**** → confirm the chatbox is enabled in the Shopify plugin settings
* ****Theme changes**** → make sure you saved and published Shopify theme changes
* ****Permissions**** → re-authenticate the Shopify app if Crisp asks for updated scopes
* ****Connection status**** → check ****Plugins → Shopify**** in Crisp

| See [Troubleshooting Shopify integration](/en/article/troubleshooting-shopify-integration-gluguu/) for common issues and fixes.
