Connect Your AI Provider
Step-by-step guides for connecting ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini to your store through ZaLinkAI
How It Works
ZaLinkAI is a tool server — it does NOT call AI models. You use your own AI provider subscription (e.g. ChatGPT Plus at $20/month) to manage your store through ZaLinkAI's MCP and ACP protocols.
Subscribe to ZaLinkAI and connect your e-commerce store (Zid, Salla, Shopify, WooCommerce)
Subscribe to an AI provider (ChatGPT Plus, Claude Pro, or Gemini Advanced)
Configure your AI provider to connect to your ZaLinkAI store using the guides below
Start managing your store with AI — search products, manage orders, and more
Setup Guides
Connect ChatGPT to your store using the Agentic Commerce Protocol (ACP). Works with ChatGPT Plus or Team plans.
Requirements
- ChatGPT Plus or Team subscription ($20/month)
- ZaLinkAI account with a connected store
- Your store's ACP endpoint URL (from your dashboard)
Setup Steps
- 1
Get Your ACP Endpoint
Go to your ZaLinkAI Dashboard → Settings → AI Providers section. Copy your ACP API endpoint URL. It looks like: https://api.zalink.ai/acp/stores/{your-store-id}
- 2
Get Your API Key
In the same dashboard section, click "Generate New Key" to create an API key. Copy it immediately — it will only be shown once.
- 3
Open ChatGPT
Go to chat.openai.com and start a new conversation. Click the "Explore GPTs" button, then select "Create a GPT" or use the Actions feature in any conversation.
- 4
Add an Action
In your GPT settings, click "Create new action". For the authentication, select "API Key" and enter your ZaLinkAI API key. For the schema URL, enter: https://api.zalink.ai/acp/stores/{your-store-id}/.well-known/openapi.json
- 5
Test the Connection
Ask ChatGPT to search your store products. Try: "Search for products in my store" or "Show me my recent orders".
