Your first build, from connected store to live
Four steps. Nothing reaches the storefront until you publish it.
You can do all of this in the GemBoss app, or drive the same steps from Claude once the MCP server is connected.
1. Connect Shopify
Authorise GemBoss on your store. It reads your catalog and theme, and writes nothing until you approve it.
2. Point at a reference, or describe the store
Paste the URL of a store or product page to capture, or just describe what you sell: a skincare store for clean-beauty fans. You can skip straight to generate at any point.
3. Set the goal and the audience
Pick what this build is for (higher conversion, stronger brand, a new launch, a seasonal campaign) and who it is for. The goal changes which sections get chosen and how they are ordered, so a vague answer here costs you more than it saves.
4. Review, then publish
Every build lands as a draft theme you can open, compare and edit. Nothing reaches the live storefront until you publish it, and publishing is never something the agent does.

Thanks. That goes straight to the people who write these.
