A Monday Shopify Discount Review With ChatGPT or Claude

Discounty connects to the AI app you already use. Ask which campaigns are running, which overlap and what to plan for Black Friday, and the answers come from your own store.

A woman smiles at her laptop as she writes in a notebook at her kitchen table; a card reads AI app access: read-only, On.

Your Monday discount review can happen in the AI app you already use. Connect Discounty to Claude or ChatGPT once, on any Discounty plan, and ask in plain words: which campaigns are running, which ones overlap, which have no end date, what to plan for Black Friday. The answers come from your own store’s campaigns, next to the rest of your Monday work.

The connection only reads. Nothing changes in your store until you change it yourself in Discounty, so you can ask as much as you like.

Six questions for Monday

Keep them in a note and paste them in this order, in one conversation. Two of them are suggested on Discounty’s own AI apps page.

AskWhat you getThen, in Discounty
"Which of my Discounty campaigns are active, scheduled or expired, and when does each one start and end, in my store's time zone?"Every campaign sorted by status, with its start and end in your store's timeDeactivate anything that should have stopped
"Do any of my active campaigns conflict?" (suggested by Discounty)A check of every active campaign for products discounted by two campaigns at onceFix any overlap before shoppers find it
"Which active campaigns have no end date, and which end in the next 7 days?"The campaigns that run with no end, and the ones about to finishAdd end dates, or schedule what comes next
"Which campaign has made the most revenue?"Each campaign's revenue and orders, side by sidePut more behind the offers that sell
"Is anything in my Discounty setup stopping discounts from showing on my store?"A look at Discounty's storefront setup, with anything that needs fixing, such as the storefront embed being switched offTurn it on, then check the storefront
"Help me plan a Black Friday promotion." (suggested by Discounty)A plan that starts with anything to fix first, then the offers to runBuild the offer yourself, or with Lumos

The AI app reads your storefront setup as well as your campaigns. If Discounty’s storefront embed is switched off, it can raise that on its own, at the top of a Black Friday plan, before any offer.

Claude answering Do any of my active campaigns conflict?: No, none of your active campaigns conflict. I checked each one (Honey pantry deal, Gummies multi-buy, Wellness bundle and Soap saver), and all four came back with 0 conflicted products and 0 conflicted variants. This check only covers products that are discounted by more than one campaign. It doesn't cover how campaigns stack with discount codes or other discounts at checkout.
Ask whether your campaigns conflict and Claude checks each active one by name.

Your campaigns stay safe

The AI app can read your campaigns and their results. It can’t create, change or delete anything. Ask it to give a campaign an end date and it tells you where to do that in Discounty, with a link to the campaign’s edit page.

Claude answering Give Soap saver an end date of 30 November: I can't change that. The Discounty tools I have only read campaign data, such as listing campaigns, checking conflicts and viewing performance. None of them edits or schedules a campaign, so Soap saver still has no end date. You can set it yourself in the campaign's edit page in your Shopify admin: Soap saver. Look for the schedule section and set an end date and time.
Ask for a change and the AI app points you to the campaign's edit page in Discounty.

When the review turns into a change, Lumos, the AI assistant inside Discounty, fills in the campaign from one sentence for you to save.

Connect Discounty to Claude or ChatGPT

Open Discounty from your Shopify admin, then go to Settings → AI apps. Copy the Discounty server URL with Copy. The connection works on every Discounty plan.

In Claude:

  1. Open Customize → Connectors, choose + Add, then Add custom connector.
  2. Name it Discounty, paste the server URL and choose Continue.
  3. Claude shows an Authentication screen with the right options already selected. Leave them and choose Add.
  4. Choose Connect. A Discounty page opens with an 8-character code. The code works once and expires in 10 minutes.
  5. In Discounty, enter the code under Connection code, choose Continue, then Approve. Claude’s page returns by itself.

It works on Claude’s free plan. On Team and Enterprise, an owner adds the connector first in Organization settings.

Claude asks before it reads from Discounty. Choose Allow once for that lookup, or Always allow to stop the prompt for that kind of lookup.

Claude's prompt: Claude wants to use List campaigns from Discounty, with the details Page size 50, Sort by start_time, Sort direction asc, and the buttons Decline, Always allow and Allow once.

Approve only a code you started yourself. Discounty will never ask you for one. If someone sends you a code, choose Deny.

To disconnect, open Settings → AI apps. It lists each connected app, who connected it and when it was last used. Remove ends that app’s access at once.

Cursor, VS Code and other apps are covered in how to connect Claude, ChatGPT or another AI app.

Good to know

  • Revenue and orders per campaign are all-time totals. To see one week, note each campaign’s total every Monday and compare. When a number doesn’t say which dates it covers, ask.
  • Type times in Discounty as your device’s clock shows them. An AI app may suggest sale times in your store’s time zone, while the campaign form reads the times you type in your device’s time zone. If you work from another time zone than your store, convert before you type.
  • For how Discounty itself works, such as which time zone a schedule uses, the Discounty Help Center is the reference.

Connect the AI app you already use
