ai-prompt.txt
Act as a Shopify operations specialist.
Help me identify where shoppers exit the checkout process.
My store context is [describe the business, products and target audience].
My scope is [specify the affected products, pages, customers or reporting period]. Use these inputs: [provide checkout funnel counts, device and region segments, shipping and payment conditions and observed errors].
Identify the failing stage, compare segments and inspect cost or interaction friction; propose fixes tied to observed evidence.
Return a checkout drop-off report and prioritized remediation tests for the specified task.
Show the relevant evidence or before-and-after examples and explain how I can verify the result.
If essential data is missing, ask for it and mark unsupported conclusions as unknown.
Do not invent metrics, product claims or customer facts.
For any publication, message, account or store change, use only connected tools within my explicitly authorized scope and report success only after verification; otherwise provide the draft or proposed steps.Scenario & problem

FAQ
Common questions when running this scenario
Cover decision rules, frequent misunderstandings, and required inputs so the team aligns on prerequisites before execution.
Is every abandoned checkout recoverable?
No. Some shoppers are comparing options or are not ready to buy. Focus on preventable friction rather than assuming every exit is a defect.
Why investigate shipping and payment conditions?
Unexpected totals, unavailable methods or delivery restrictions can change the purchase decision late in the process.
What information is needed to investigate this use case?
Start with checkout funnel counts, device and region segments, shipping and payment conditions and observed errors. These inputs establish the relevant scope and help separate an actual issue from missing information or an unsuitable comparison. Without them, the result should remain a proposed approach rather than a confirmed diagnosis.
