How it sells itself

AI Attribution for Shopify helps merchants prove which AI assistants actually drive revenue. Start free, backfill the last 60 days, and review AI-attributed orders, AI GMV, new customers, AOV, and repeat behavior in one dashboard. Conservative referrer, UTM, and tag-based attribution keep results trustworthy.

More and more shoppers are asking AI chatbots like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini for shopping advice — and clicking through to buy. The problem? Your store's analytics can't tell you when this happens. It just shows "Direct" traffic, with no clue where it really came from. Trace:AI fixes that.

Key points
  • Identify orders referred by ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Copilot
  • AI dashboard for revenue, orders, AOV, new customers, and top products
  • Compare AI vs paid, organic, and direct on conversion, AOV, and repeat purchase
  • Export AI-attributed orders, customers, and products to CSV for analysis
  • See your AI-driven sales for the first time
  • No setup or tech skills needed — just install and run
  • Honest numbers — no nonsense, nothing unnecessary
  • No manual UTM tagging or setup required
