Frequently asked questions

Shopify app FAQ

What does the GenderAPI Shopify app do?

It can enrich customer records with a predicted gender signal, help extract a missing first name from an email address and support customer segmentation workflows.

Does the app work with new customers?

The live guide describes automatic enrichment for new customers. Confirm the current app settings and permissions in Shopify before activation.

Can it help when a first name is missing?

The app includes an email-based name extraction workflow for records without a supplied first name.

Does GenderAPI store Shopify email query inputs?

The published policy says email values are processed for the lookup and not retained as reusable query records; technical and security logs follow a separate schedule. Review the app permissions and privacy information before activation.

Are predictions verified identity?

No. Treat the values as probabilistic data signals, preserve supporting values where available and avoid making high-impact decisions from a prediction alone.
