Create Abra Discounts with Shopify Sidekick

What is Shopify Sidekick?

Shopify Sidekick is Shopify’s AI assistant built into the Shopify admin. It allows merchants to interact with Shopify and supported apps using natural language prompts.

For more information about Shopify Sidekick, refer to Shopify’s documentation.

What is the Abra x Shopify Sidekick integration?

The Abra x Sidekick integration allows merchants to:

  • Create Abra discounts through Shopify Sidekick

  • Open pre-filled discount drafts from Sidekick prompts

  • Ask Sidekick questions about Abra promotion performance and analytics

The integration supports both discount creation workflows and post-campaign performance analysis directly inside Shopify.

What can I do with the integration?

The Abra x Sidekick integration supports two primary workflows:

Create promotions through natural language

Use Shopify Sidekick to create Abra promotions by describing the campaign you want to run.

Sidekick generates a pre-filled Abra promotion draft based on your prompt. You can then review, edit, and publish the discount inside Abra.

Analyze promotion performance

Use Shopify Sidekick to ask questions about Abra promotion performance after campaigns have run.

Supported analytics workflows include:

  • Comparing promotion performance

  • Reviewing AOV and conversion rate impact

  • Analyzing discount usage

  • Reviewing revenue and margin performance

  • Comparing campaign effectiveness across promotion types

Sidekick uses Abra promotion analytics together with Shopify store data to generate responses.

How to use the integration

  1. Open Shopify Sidekick from your Shopify admin.

  2. Describe the promotion you want to create or the analytics question you want to ask. Be sure to mention Abra in your prompt.

  3. Sidekick will generate a response using Abra’s promotion and analytics capabilities.

  4. Review the generated Abra discount draft or the Sidekick analytics response.
