Shopify is an e-commerce platform that lets individuals and businesses to create, customize, and manage their own online stores. With the Shopify app in Make, you can manage the orders, products, product variants, customers, articles, inventory levels, and create fulfillments in your Shopify account.

Requirements

To use the Shopify app in Make, you must have a paid Shopify account. For subscription information, refer to the Shopify Pricing page.

Connect Shopify and Make

To get started, you must first create a connection between Shopify and Make, allowing the two services to communicate.

Make provides two ways to connect the Shopify app:

Shopify

Shopify (Custom app)

To avoid connection issues, don’t set up multiple connections using the same Shopify app and store combination — this includes creating a simple connection (where you don’t specify a Client ID, Secret, or Admin API Access Token).

If you do, the last-created connection overwrites the available scopes for both connections. This applies across all Make organizations and teams.

Before you create the connection in Make with a custom app, you should first follow the steps below to create a custom app and obtain an admin API access token in your Shopify account:

Create a custom app and obtain your admin API access token

Create the connection with the obtained token

Obtain your admin API access token

To create a custom app and obtain your admin API access token:

In the left sidebar, click Apps, then click App and sales channel settings.

On the Apps and sales channels screen, click Develop apps.

Confirm this action again by clicking Allow custom app development. This will allow you to create an API token that you will use when creating the connection in Make.

Click Create an app and enter an app name, select an app developer, and click Create app.

Click Configuration, then click Configure in the Admin API integration section.

On the Admin API integration screen, select scopes (permissions) that represent the actions you will need Make to perform. Then click Save.

Switch to the API credentials tab and under Access tokens, click Install app. In the dialog that appears, confirm the action by clicking Install.

Shopify creates an admin API access token. Click Reveal token once.

Copy the Admin API Access Token value and store it in a safe place.

You'll use this value in the Admin API Access Token connection field in Make.

Create the connection with an obtained token

To create the connection:

If you add a module with an instant tag, click Create a webhook, then Create a connection.

In the Connection type field, select Shopify (Custom app).

Optional: In the Connection name field, enter a name for the connection.

In the Domain field, enter your Shopify online store domain.

For example, if your Shopify store address is xyz.myshopify.com, enter only xyz.

In the App Type field, select Custom App.

In the Admin API Access Token field, enter the admin API access token copied above.

Click Save.

After connecting to the Shopify app, you can use the following types of modules to build your scenarios.
