Ask Perplexity about your store, not just the web.
Perplexity is where you research a market. Add Pocketsflow as a remote connector and the same chat can set your conversion rate against similar stores, name your best customers and show which channel paid for last month.

From an ask in Perplexity to your store and back.
You type in Perplexity. It calls a Pocketsflow tool, your store changes or answers, and the result comes back to the chat.
How an ask in your AI app becomes a change in your store:
- Perplexity: “Who are my best customers?” The Pocketsflow MCP server checks the key you approved, calls list_best_customers, and answers: “Amelia Hart at $429.95, then Hannah Clarke ($237.00) and Ethan Cole ($217.00).”
- Perplexity: “What do I sell, and for how much?” The Pocketsflow MCP server checks the key you approved, calls list_products, and answers: “8 products, from the $19 Email Swipe File up to The Creator Funnel Course at $149.”
- Perplexity: “Any refunds or disputes this week?” The Pocketsflow MCP server checks the key you approved, calls list_orders, and answers: “Two, both on The Creator Funnel Course: Zoe's $149.00 refund and Isla's $149.00 dispute.”

What to ask Perplexity.
Write it the way you would ask a colleague. Under each ask are the Pocketsflow tools it calls.
“How does my conversion compare with similar stores?”
Reads percentiles from similar stores (never another store's numbers).
- get_benchmarks
“Who are my best customers?”
Ranks buyers by lifetime value.
- list_best_customers
“Which channel brought the most revenue last month?”
Splits revenue by where buyers came from.
- get_revenue_by_source
“Where do buyers drop off before paying?”
Reads the funnel from page view to paid order.
- get_sales_funnel
What it can and can't do.
Connecting an AI is not handing over the keys. You approve it, you see every change, and you can unplug it in one click.
It can
- Use the same 303 tools as the public API: products, checkout links, discounts, upsells, orders, customers, subscriptions, license keys, usage billing, webhooks, newsletters and analytics.
- Read your payouts: what is ready to withdraw, what is still clearing, and why a payout is on hold.
- Set the refund policy buyers see at checkout, and look up any order's payment, fees and tax.
- Work in test mode with no real money, if your dashboard is in test mode when you click Allow.
It can't
- Refund a payment or withdraw money. Refunds and withdrawals stay in your dashboard.
- Connect without you: nothing happens until you sign in to Pocketsflow and click Allow access.
- See another store. Every call is scoped to the account you approved.
- Use a paid feature your plan lacks. It gets a clear error and tells you which plan unlocks it.
The setup prompt asks Perplexity to check with you before anything goes live, and every change shows in your dashboard. To disconnect any app, delete its MCP: <app> key under Developers → API keys. It stops on the next request. Access tokens last an hour and renew themselves; one left unused for 30 days expires.
For developers.
The server speaks streamable HTTP with OAuth 2.1 (PKCE, dynamic client registration) and exposes 303 tools, the same public API as our REST endpoints and the pocketsflow SDK.
Questions
Which Perplexity plans can add connectors?
Custom connectors come with Pro, Max and Enterprise.
Does it see other stores' data?
No. Benchmarks are percentiles across similar stores, never another store's numbers, and they need at least 10 similar stores.
Do I need an API key?
No. You sign in to Pocketsflow and click Allow access, and the app gets a token for your account. API keys are only for headless servers and CI, where nobody can click Allow.
Can Perplexity refund a buyer?
No. Payment refunds are issued from your dashboard. Perplexity can find the order, check its payment and set the refund policy buyers see at checkout.
How do I disconnect Perplexity?
Delete the MCP: Perplexity key (the name the app gives itself) under Developers → API keys in your dashboard. Access stops on the next request.
