Overview#
By creating a custom app on Shopify, you will be able to configure the exact scopes that you require to build the workflows that you need.
The Shopify Developer App API unleashes a myriad of possibilities to automate and enhance online store operations. It provides programmatic access to Shopify functionalities, allowing users to manage products, customers, orders, and more. Leveraging the API within Pipedream, developers can create custom workflows that automate repetitive tasks, sync data across platforms, and respond dynamically to events in Shopify.
import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
props: {
shopify_developer_app: {
type: "app",
app: "shopify_developer_app",
}
},
async run({steps, $}) {
const data = {
"query": `{
shop {
id
name
email
}
}`,
}
return await axios($, {
method: "post",
url: `https://${this.shopify_developer_app.$auth.shop_id}.myshopify.com/admin/api/2024-04/graphql.json`,
headers: {
"X-Shopify-Access-Token": `${this.shopify_developer_app.$auth.access_token}`,
"Content-Type": `application/json`,
},

Example Use Cases#
Automated Order Fulfillment Workflow: When a new order is received in Shopify, a Pipedream workflow can be triggered, automatically notifying a fulfillment service or updating an inventory management system. This ensures quick response times and keeps inventory levels accurate.
Customer Segmentation and Personalized Marketing: Pipedream can listen for customer creation events on Shopify. When a new customer is added, the workflow can segment them based on predefined criteria, such as order value or location, and add them to corresponding marketing campaigns in email marketing platforms like Mailchimp.
Real-time Stock Level Alerts: Set up a Pipedream workflow to monitor product stock levels on Shopify. When a product's stock falls below a certain threshold, trigger an alert that is sent out via Slack, SMS, or email to prompt immediate restocking actions, ensuring that popular products are always available to customers.
Getting Started#
To get started, you will need to create a custom Shopify app in the Shopify Admin UI. The steps are outlined below:
Create a Shopify app
- Sign in to your Shopify admin account, and navigate to the store that you are managing.
- Click Develop apps.
- Click Allow custom app development.
- Click Create an App, and name the app "Pipedream"
Configure Admin API scopes
- In the new app you have created, under the API Credentials tab, click Configure Admin API scopes
- Select the scopes that you require for your use case. You may modify your scopes at any time by returning to the app configuration page.
Generate the Admin API access token
- Under API credentials, click Install app.
- Click Reveal token once and save it in a secure location (we recommend using a password manager such as 1Password) -- you will need it when setting up authentication on Pipedream, and it is only revealed once. If you happen to lose this, you will need to uninstall the app, and reinstall it on Shopify to generate a new access token.
Connect your Shopify app with Pipedream using your access token
At this point, you should have a Pipedream App connected to your Shopify store, and a long-lived access token.
- When prompted in Pipedream after trying to connect the Shopify Developer App, copy and paste your shop id along with your access token saved from the previous step.
- Click Connect and your custom Shopify app should be integrated into Pipedream!
