CS-Cart Ask Your Store

CS-Cart reports give you tables. The questions a merchant actually has are different: "How did sales go this month compared to last month?", "How much money is sitting in abandoned carts?", "Which payment method brings me the most cancellations?". To answer them you have to open three or four pages, export to Excel and do the maths.

Ask Your Store adds a conversation page to the CS-Cart admin. You type the question in Greek or English and the artificial intelligence (Claude) picks which data it needs, pulls it from your database and answers with a table, totals and a short comment. Every answer comes with "Data used", so you see exactly which figures it was based on.

Security was a priority from the first line: the AI never writes SQL. It chooses among 10 predefined analysis tools (sales, time series, top products, top customers, RFM segmentation, abandoned carts, stock alerts, shipping, payment methods, order status flow) and we run the ready, parametrised query. No question can alter or delete data.

The Daily Brief runs every morning via cron and emails you yesterday's picture: revenue, orders, average order, profit, abandoned carts. When something goes wrong — revenue drop, zero sales, critical stock, a wave of cancellations — it automatically runs extra analysis and flags it as "attention" or "critical". It remembers previous briefs, so it says "fourth consecutive day without sales" instead of repeating itself.

If you also have the cost/profit add-on (dvs_cost_profit), answers include gross profit and margin per product and per order. Without it, the tools work normally with revenue and quantities.

Running cost is minimal (Claude Haiku model), with a built-in counter of questions, tokens and estimated cost per month and a configurable monthly limit.
