    Connecting Your Store

    Connecting Your Store

    Once you authorize the connection, Synton links to your store on Shopify, WooCommerce or Magento. Here's what happens:

    Automatic Setup
  • Your store domain is registered with our system
  • Product catalog is indexed for AI recommendations
  • AI agents are initialized for your store
  • Verification
    You can verify the connection by:
  • Opening Synton (app.synton.ai, or the Shopify admin if that is how you connected)
  • Checking the dashboard shows your store name
  • Asking the AI "Show my store info"
  • Troubleshooting
    If connection fails:
  • Ensure you've granted all required permissions
  • Try reinstalling the app
  • Contact support if issues persist

  • Understanding Credits

    Understanding AI Credits

    Synton AI uses a credit system to track AI usage. Here's how it works:

    What Are Credits?
    Credits are the usage currency of Synton AI. Every piece of work an agent does — a chat turn, a product rewrite, an image, a full store audit — costs credits. Each plan includes a monthly credit allowance:

    PlanPriceMonthly Credits

    Starter Stores$49/mo10,000 Starter Stores$89/mo19,000 Starter Stores$149/mo32,500 Growing Stores$199/mo45,000 (most popular) Growing Stores$299/mo70,000 Growing Stores$449/mo108,000 Scaling Stores$649/mo160,000 Scaling Stores$999/mo250,000 Scaling Stores$1,499/mo390,000 EnterpriseCustomCustom

    Every paid plan includes all 151 AI agents and every feature module, plus priority support. Enterprise adds a dedicated success manager, a custom SLA, SAML SSO, Managed Autopilot, and a security review with DPA.

    How Credits Are Used
    Everything is metered in credits:
  • Chat: roughly 15–20 credits per turn
  • Deep work: a full store audit runs to hundreds of credits
  • Email: 10 emails per credit
  • Media and agent runs: priced by the work performed
  • Two things keep your balance going further:

  • Failed actions are never billed. If an action doesn't complete, you don't pay for it.
  • Smart caching makes repeated operations cost less than the first run.
  • Monitoring Usage
  • Go to Settings > Usage in the app
  • View your current credit balance
  • See breakdown by feature
  • Rollover
    Unused credits roll over at 50% into the next month.

    What Happens When Credits Run Out?
  • Buy a top-up: mini — $5 for 500 credits, plus — $10 for 1,200 credits, pro — $25 for 3,500 credits
  • Or upgrade to a larger plan for a bigger monthly allowance
  • Trying Synton
    Signing up is free — no credit card required. Connect your store and explore every app and your data. AI actions run once you're on a plan or have topped up: every action shows its credit price before it runs, and failed actions are never billed.

    AI Agents

    Agent Overview

    AI Agents Overview

    Synton AI includes 151 AI agents. 19 of them run on a nightly sweep of your store; the rest run when you or a workflow call them.

    Agents analyse and propose. They do not change your store by themselves: a proposal becomes a change when you approve it, or when you ask for it in chat, and Synton then executes it and records a receipt.

    REST API

    REST API

    Read your catalogue, run agents, pull analytics and approve changes over HTTP.

    The full reference lives at [/docs/api](/docs/api) — every endpoint, its parameters, its responses, and the authentication and rate-limit contract. It is generated from the API's own OpenAPI document, so it describes what the server actually serves.

    The short version

  • Base URL: https://app.synton.ai/api/v1
  • Authenticate with X-API-Key, or Authorization: Bearer if your client prefers it
  • Create a key in the dashboard under Settings > Advanced > Developer
  • 120 requests per minute, per key
  • Webhooks

    Webhooks

    Receive real-time notifications from Synton.

    Available Webhooks
  • task.completed: AI task finished
  • approval.required: Change needs approval
  • usage.threshold: Credit usage alert
  • module.event: Module-specific events
  • Setting Up
  • Go to Settings > Webhooks
  • Add your endpoint URL
  • Select events to receive
  • Payload Example
    ``json { "event": "task.completed", "timestamp": "2024-01-15T10:30:00Z", "data": { "taskId": "task_123", "type": "agent_recommendation", "status": "success" } } ``

    MCP Server Setup

    MCP Server Setup

    Use Synton AI from your IDE with Model Context Protocol.

    What is MCP?
    MCP (Model Context Protocol) allows AI assistants to interact with external tools and services.

    Installation
    Nothing to install: Synton runs a hosted MCP server. Point your client at it. ``bash claude mcp add synton --transport http https://mcp.synton.ai `

    With an API key from app.synton.ai/api-settings: `bash claude mcp add synton --transport http https://mcp.synton.ai --header "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" `

    Configuration
    For a client that reads a JSON config, add the server by URL: `json { "mcpServers": { "synton": { "type": "http", "url": "https://mcp.synton.ai", "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" } } } } ``

    Without a key, the first call starts an OAuth sign-in, and a new session is read-only until you grant more. The URL carries no path — https://mcp.synton.ai/mcp is a 404.
