Frequently Asked Questions — DataMintify
How does DataMintify enrich my food products?
DataMintify automatically enriches your Shopify product descriptions by scanning product barcodes across 5 global food databases (FatSecret, Edamam, USDA FoodData Central, Open Food Facts, and Barcode Lookup). When a product is found, ingredients, allergens, and nutrition information are extracted, verified using AI, and formatted into your product description as beautifully structured HTML.
Which products can be enriched?
Any product in your Shopify store that has a valid barcode (UPC/EAN/GTIN) stored in a Shopify metafield can be enriched. The app works best with food and beverage products. Products without barcodes or items without nutrition data in any of the supported databases cannot be enriched using the database lookup system — though you can contribute data to Open Food Facts for those products.
What happens if my product barcode isn't found?
DataMintify uses a multi-database fallback system. If a product isn't found in FatSecret, it tries Edamam, then USDA, then Open Food Facts, then Barcode Lookup (500M+ products). If it's not found in any database, you can contribute the product data to Open Food Facts. Once processed (typically 24–48 hours), re-running enrichment will find your product.
How does billing work?
DataMintify uses Shopify's usage-based billing. Each plan includes a monthly quota of enrichments. Additional enrichments beyond the quota are charged per enrichment. Charges are only recorded for successful enrichments after data verification and Shopify update — failed or skipped products are never billed.
What is the Store Health Score?
The Store Health Score is a 0–100 metric that measures how complete and enriched your product catalogue is. It's broken down across four equally-weighted dimensions: Barcode Health (25%), Nutrition Data Enrichment (25%), AI SEO Traffic Booster (25%), and Profit Booster (25%).
Can I undo enrichment?
Yes. Before any enrichment begins, DataMintify saves an immutable copy of all your original product descriptions. You can restore any product to its pre-enrichment state with a single click from the Enrichment History page.
Does DataMintify support non-English products?
Yes. If ingredient or nutritional data is returned in a non-English language, DataMintify automatically translates it to English using OpenAI GPT-3.5. You can also choose to translate the full enriched product content into up to 10 additional languages using Shopify's translation API.
What is HFSS and how does DataMintify handle it?
HFSS stands for High in Fat, Sugar, and Salt. UK regulations restrict advertising of HFSS products in certain contexts, including on TikTok Shop. DataMintify automatically calculates HFSS status from nutrition data using the UK Nutrient Profiling Model and writes the result to the custom.tiktok_hfss Shopify metafield.
