Once connected, ChatGPT can:
- Add and update products, variants, prices, categories and collections. New products start as drafts.
- Check and set stock for each variant.
- See new orders, accept or reject them, and mark them processing, shipped or delivered.
- Create and manage discount codes.
- Read your sales: revenue, orders, average order value and where visitors drop off.
- Look up customers, and moderate and reply to product reviews.
- Publish your storefront once you approve its address.
The LotsStore dashboard does the whole job on its own too: products, stock, orders, customers, discounts, payments and your storefront. Your agent for speed, the dashboard for control.
You need

ChatGPT and LotsStore: questions
How do I connect ChatGPT to LotsStore?
In ChatGPT on the web, go to Plugins, select +, then Add custom MCP server. Name it LotsStore, enter https://api.lotsstore.app/mcp under Connection, choose OAuth, tick I understand and want to continue and select Create as a plugin. Install it, sign in, then in a new chat type @, select LotsStore and ask “List my stores in LotsStore”. Adding a custom connector with full read and write depends on your ChatGPT plan, and on some plans only admins can add one. Check OpenAI’s current plan details.
Can I connect LotsStore with a Free or Go ChatGPT account?
Adding a custom connector with full read and write depends on your ChatGPT plan, and on some plans only admins can add one. Check OpenAI’s current plan details. You can also connect LotsStore to Claude or another MCP agent.
Do I need an API key to use LotsStore with ChatGPT?
No. ChatGPT signs in to LotsStore in your browser. API keys are for the REST API, for scripts and your own apps.
What does LotsStore cost?
Current plans and prices are on https://lotsstore.app/pricing. Your agent’s own plan or usage fees are separate.
Can my agent take payments or move money?
No. Shoppers pay straight into your own Stripe or Razorpay account, by UPI to your UPI ID, or by ordering on WhatsApp, and LotsStore never holds the money. Your agent never asks for card details or payment keys: you connect Stripe or Razorpay yourself.
Can my agent delete my products or my store?
Your agent can delete a product or a category when you ask it to, and that cannot be undone, so it should confirm with you first. It cannot delete a store. The owner can archive one, which takes the storefront offline and stops billing for it, and restore it within 30 days.
Where do I see what my agent changed?
Everything your agent does shows up in your LotsStore dashboard. You approve the connection when you sign in, and you can disconnect it at any time from connected apps.
