The Better Data Hosted Cloud provides a turnkey environment for conversational commerce. Follow these steps to go from zero to a production-ready gateway.

1. Create an Account

Head over to app.betterdata.io and create a free account. You’ll immediately have access to the Cloud Free tier.

2. Generate API Keys

In the dashboard, navigate to Settings -> API Keys.
  • Public Key: Used for client-side tool discovery.
  • Secret Key: Used for tool execution and backend management. Keep this safe!

3. Connect a Store

The easiest way to see the gateway in action is to connect an existing store.
  1. Click Connect Integration.
  2. Select Shopify or Square.
  3. Follow the OAuth flow to authorize Better Data.

4. Test the Gateway

You can test your new gateway directly in the dashboard using the Playground.
“What are my best-selling products?”
The playground will show you the exact tool calls being made and the JSON results returned from your store.

5. Integrate with your LLM

To use your hosted gateway with Claude or ChatGPT, you’ll use the Gateway Endpoint:
