Help Molin learn what your shoppers buy

Molin ranks search results and recommendations by what shoppers in your shop actually buy, not only by how well a product’s text matches. To learn that, Molin needs to see your shop’s carts, orders, product views, and searches. This page shows what to do on each platform.

​

Shopify

1. Open your Molin dashboard. If it shows a banner asking you to update permissions, click Approve in Shopify.
2. In Shopify, approve Molin’s updated permissions. They let Molin read your orders and receive cart, product view, and search events from your store.

​

Shoprenter and Shoper

You don’t need to do anything. Molin collects this data for your shop on its own.

​

UNAS

Make sure Molin can read your orders. If you haven’t done it during setup, follow Allow Molin to read order statuses from UNAS.

​

Custom website

1. Send your developer the Storefront events API reference. They add a few lines of JavaScript that tell Molin when the cart changes, an order is placed, or a customer logs in.
2. Make sure the widget script loads on every page of your shop, including the cart and order confirmation pages.

​

What Molin collects

• Carts and orders: which products, how many, at what price, and the order number.
• Product views and searches: which products shoppers open and what they search for in your shop.
• Customers: your own internal customer id, never a name or email address.

When Molin reads orders from your platform, the customer’s name, email address, phone number, and address are stored only as one-way hashes, so they can’t be read back. Molin uses this data only for search, recommendations, and reports in your own shop.
