A real session through the Cartivate MCP, recorded in one conversation before anyone pressed Apply. Snowline is an example brand.

The ugly sweater copy: red-and-cream zigzag knit rows round a stitched green header reading “Ho ho ho! Your Cosy Haul” with a row of snowflakes, crooked patch-style items with red stitching, and a stitched red checkout. — Two drafts ready, both switched off. Press **Apply** in Cartivate on the one you want live.

YOU STAY IN CHARGE

Nothing goes live
without you.

Your assistant drafts. You decide. Every change waits for you in Cartivate with a phone preview.

Drafts only.

Your assistant builds new carts, switched off. It can’t change your live cart, publish a design or create discounts.

You press Apply.

Every draft comes with a phone preview and a link to it in Cartivate. Apply puts it live, and warns you if the live cart changed since it was copied.

One store, yours to revoke.

The connection is approved in your Shopify admin for one store. Revoke it any time on the AI assistants page.

QUESTIONS ABOUT THE MCP

Which AI assistants work with Cartivate?

Claude (web, desktop and mobile), ChatGPT on Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise or Edu, Grok on paid plans, Cursor, Claude Code and Codex. Any assistant that can add a custom MCP connector with sign-in works the same way.

Can my assistant change what shoppers see?

No. It builds draft carts and shows you a preview. Only you can put a cart live, by pressing Apply in Cartivate. It can’t create discounts either: it uses the ones your store already has.
