About 200 reports, and your own
Sales, orders, inventory, behavior and customer reports on every plan, with custom reports and ShopifyQL, Shopify’s own query language.
help.shopify.comWhat Olympus adds to Shopify
Shopify gives every store about 200 reports, custom reports and Sidekick, its AI assistant, on every plan. Olympus runs on Shopify, so this isn’t a choice between them: here is what Shopify already does well, and what Olympus adds.
Checked against Shopify's own pages on October 31, 2026; every claim links its source. If something has changed, tell us: support@oldbones.ai
Add Olympus when you want every ad platform beside your sales, what each product keeps after ads, email and Google search in one place, and specialists to ask.
Shopify alone may be enough if your ads run on Google, TikTok, Pinterest or Snapchat, and its reports answer your questions.

What Shopify already does well, free
Sidekick, free, and it acts
Asks about your store, builds reports and drafts changes, like products, discounts and Flow automations, for your approval. Since June 2026 it also reads apps like Klaviyo.
help.shopify.comLive, to the minute
Live View shows visitors and carts right now, and reports update within about a minute.
help.shopify.comCustomers and inventory
Cohorts with retention, RFM segments, predicted spend, and inventory reports from sell-through to days of stock left.

Spend, ROAS and cost per acquisition by channel for Google (early access), Pinterest, Snapchat and TikTok, through their Shopify apps.
help.shopify.comWhat Olympus adds
Every ad platform beside your sales
Google Ads, TikTok Ads and Reddit Ads in one view with Shopify, each platform’s claims beside what your store actually took in. Meta Ads opens to every store when Meta finishes reviewing the app; beta stores connect today. Shopify’s list of platforms that send it spend doesn’t include Meta or Reddit.
What each product keeps after ads
Shopify’s gross profit stops before ad spend. Olympus takes off shipping, fees and ad spend too, and gives you your break-even.
Email and Google search
What each Klaviyo flow and campaign earned, and the Google searches you rank for, from Search Console, which Shopify’s own SEO guides send you to.
Every change, found for you
Changes to your ad accounts, store and pages, who made them and when, found and marked on your charts. Shopify’s annotations are ones you or an app write.
Six specialists, built for Olympus
Plutus on margins and prices, Ares on paid ads, Aphrodite on email, Athena on products and customers, Hephaestus on conversion, Demeter on search, each written for one job and for Olympus’s own data. Sidekick is one assistant for your whole store.
The Council: specialists who argue it out
When a question crosses lanes, Hermes convenes the Council. Each specialist answers from your numbers in their own lane, they say plainly where they disagree, and Hermes closes with one decision.

Do I still need Shopify’s analytics with Olympus?
Yes, keep using them. Olympus runs on your Shopify store and reads its orders; Shopify’s reports and Sidekick stay where they are. Olympus adds what Shopify doesn’t bring together: every ad platform, what each product keeps after ads, email and Google search.
Isn’t Sidekick enough?
For questions about your store, often yes, and it’s free. It reads Shopify, and apps that add a Sidekick extension. Olympus brings in your ad platforms, email and Google search, and adds specialists who each know one lane.
Does Shopify show my Meta ad spend?
Shopify’s help center lists the apps that send ad spend to its reports: Google (early access), Pinterest, Snapchat and TikTok. Meta isn’t on that list.
