MerchantPro

@MerchantPro show me all active product categories under the 'Electronics' parent category, then summarize which ones have the most subcategories

MerchantPro returned 12 active categories under Electronics: Audio (8 subcategories), Computers (15 subcategories), Mobile Devices (6 subcategories), Gaming (11 subcategories), Wearables (4 subcategories), Smart Home (9 subcategories), Cameras (7 subcategories), Accessories (3 subcategories), Networking (5 subcategories), Storage (4 subcategories), Monitors (2 subcategories), and Tablets (3 subcategories). Computers leads with 15 subcategories, followed by Gaming with 11 and Smart Home with 9. This illustrative example shows how the MCP surfaces category hierarchy for navigation planning.

This example uses the List Categories tool with parent and status filters. The MCP returns paginated results with a continuation cursor — if your catalog has hundreds of categories, you'll need multiple calls. Requires read access to the product catalog in your API key scope.

@MerchantPro find all customers in California who subscribed to our newsletter in the last 90 days and are marked as VIP group members

MerchantPro found 47 customers matching your filters: California location, newsletter opt-in within 90 days, VIP group membership. The response includes customer IDs, registration dates, group tags, and newsletter status. Full addresses, payment details, and identity numbers are filtered out per MerchantPro's privacy policy. Example customers: ID 10234 (registered March 2025, VIP since April), ID 10891 (registered February 2025, VIP since March). This illustrative output demonstrates multi-filter customer search for targeted campaigns.

Combines List Customers with location, group, newsletter, and date filters. MerchantPro enforces privacy filtering — you won't receive sensitive identity data even if your API key has customers_read permission. Useful for segmentation, but plan follow-up calls if you need subscription or order history for these customers.

@MerchantPro get inventory and pricing for product variant SKU-2847-BLK-L, then check if we have enough stock in our West Coast warehouse to fulfill a 50-unit B2B order

MerchantPro returned inventory unit SKU-2847-BLK-L: retail price $89.99, wholesale price $62.00, available stock 127 units across all warehouses. West Coast warehouse (ID: WH-03) holds 68 units with status 'available'. You have sufficient stock to fulfill the 50-unit order from WH-03, leaving 18 units for other orders. Tax and shipping rates depend on the customer's location and are not included in this inventory snapshot. This illustrative example shows how Get Inventory Unit pairs with warehouse taxonomy for fulfillment planning.

Uses Get Inventory Unit for stock and pricing, then cross-references Get Shop Taxonomy for warehouse details. The MCP returns current inventory at call time — stock levels change rapidly during high-traffic periods. If you're building an order workflow, verify stock again immediately before committing the transaction to avoid overselling.

When MerchantPro wins for recurring revenue diagnostics

A 6-person DTC brand runs monthly subscription boxes and needs to spot churn patterns before they compound. MerchantPro's List Customer Subscriptions tool surfaces renewal dates, recurrence types, and status flags in one call—your team can build a shared Switchy prompt that pulls at-risk subscriptions every Monday morning and drafts retention emails. The Get Inventory Unit tool closes the loop by checking stock levels for the products subscribers actually want. This works cleanly if your catalog sits under 5,000 SKUs and you're not running complex multi-warehouse fulfillment. Beyond that threshold, you'll need a BI tool instead of an MCP. If your churn lives in subscription metadata and you want the AI to draft the fix, MerchantPro is the right call.

Use MerchantPro when your CRM can't see purchase history

A 3-person growth team at a Shopify-adjacent platform wants to send targeted promos based on order frequency and product affinity, but their email tool only sees names and opens. MerchantPro's List Customers filter returns privacy-safe segments by registration date, newsletter status, and location—no PII leakage—so the team can pipe that into a Switchy prompt that writes campaign copy for each cohort. The Get Product and List Categories tools let the AI reference actual inventory when drafting offers. This setup breaks down if you need real-time behavioral triggers or if your customer base exceeds 50,000 records; the MCP's pagination gets slow and you'll want a CDP. If you're under that ceiling and your campaigns are weekly batches, MerchantPro keeps segmentation in the same workspace where you write the emails.

When MerchantPro helps ops teams compare catalog partners

A 4-person ops team sources from a dozen brands and needs to renegotiate terms every quarter. MerchantPro's List Catalog Partners tool pulls brand and supplier metadata in one call, and the Get Inventory Unit tool shows current pricing and stock levels across the catalog. The team uses a shared Switchy prompt to generate comparison tables and draft negotiation talking points based on which suppliers have the most SKUs or the highest average unit cost. This works if your catalog structure is stable and you're comparing fewer than 20 partners at once. If you're running a marketplace with hundreds of suppliers or dynamic pricing, the MCP's 10-tool scope won't cover the analytics you need. For small procurement teams who want AI-assisted negotiation prep without building a custom dashboard, MerchantPro delivers the catalog context in a usable format.
