Use Bird Checkout Rules from ChatGPT, Claude or Claude Code

You can manage your checkout rules from your own AI assistant (ChatGPT, Claude or Claude Code) or from your own scripts with an API key. Changes still wait for you to publish, unless you allow publishing.

Connect ChatGPT or Claude

1. Go to Settings > Connections.
2. Under AI assistants, choose the ChatGPT or Claude tab.
3. Select Copy next to the Connector link.
4. Paste it in your assistant:
   • ChatGPT: turn on Developer mode, then go to Settings > Plugins > + > Add custom MCP server.
   • Claude: go to Customize > Connectors > Add custom connector.
5. Your assistant opens Bird in your Shopify admin. Check the store, choose Allow publishing if you want the assistant to publish, and select Allow.

The store owner gets an email for every new connection.

Connect Claude Code

1. Go to Settings > Connections and choose the Claude tab.
2. Under Claude Code, select Copy and run the command in your terminal.
3. Allow the connection in your Shopify admin, as above.

Allow publishing

Allow publishing is off by default. When it’s off, the assistant can draft and test rules, and you publish them in the app. When it’s on, the assistant can also publish after you confirm in the chat. Every change shows in History with the assistant as the source.

Disconnect an assistant

1. Go to Settings > Connections.
2. Under Connected, select Disconnect next to the assistant.

Create an API key

1. Go to Settings > Connections, and under API keys, select Create key.
2. Enter a Name. Tick Can publish only if the script should publish.
3. Select Create key, then copy the key. It won’t be shown again.

To stop a key working, select Revoke.
