What is Shopify?

Shopify is a complete commerce platform for running an online store—managing products, customers, orders, payments, and fulfillment from one place. When you connect Shopify to Konnectify, you can automate operational workflows across your stack (support, fulfillment, accounting, inventory tools) so your store data stays consistent without manual work.

This integration is designed for commerce teams that need reliable, event-driven automation for customers, orders, products, inventory updates, refunds, and returns.

API & Authentication

Authentication type: Credentials (Client ID + Client Secret + Shop Name)

This Shopify connector uses a custom app credential setup. You’ll provide your Shop Name (without .myshopify.com) plus the custom app’s Client ID and Client Secret from the Shopify admin/developer dashboard. Konnectify uses these credentials to securely authenticate requests to Shopify’s Admin API.

What the API connection enables

Read and react to real-time store events via webhooks (customers, orders, products, inventory items, refunds, returns, fulfillments).
Create and manage orders and draft orders.
Create/update products and variants and look them up by ID, handle, SKU, or title.
Activate and update inventory across locations.
Create fulfillments and fulfillment events (tracking milestones).
Create returns and refunds to support post-purchase operations.

Important: Shopify plan restrictions & rate limits

Shopify API availability can vary by plan and by app configuration. Shopify also enforces API rate limits; if your workflow processes high volumes (e.g., bulk catalog changes), consider adding batching, retries, and/or queueing steps in Konnectify.

FAQ

How does authentication work for the Shopify connector?

Konnectify uses a credentials-based connection for Shopify: Shop Name, Client ID, and Client Secret from your Shopify custom app. Make sure the custom app has the Admin API permissions needed for the triggers/actions you plan to use.

Which Shopify plans are supported?

Most Shopify plans support the Admin API, but specific capabilities can depend on your store, your custom app configuration, and Shopify’s feature availability in your region. If an action fails due to permissions, update the custom app’s API access/scopes and reinstall/reauthorize if required.

Are Shopify triggers polling-based or webhook-based?

All triggers in this connector are webhook triggers. Shopify sends an event to Konnectify when something changes (e.g., a new order, updated customer, out-of-stock variant), reducing delay and avoiding frequent polling.

How do I prevent duplicates (customers/orders/products)?

This connector doesn’t include a dedicated “Upsert” action. To avoid duplicates, use a Find action first (e.g., Find Customer / Find Order / Find Product / Search Product Variant) and then branch your workflow:

If found → Update
If not found → Create

What happens if Shopify rate limits are hit?

If Shopify responds with throttling/rate-limit errors, the workflow run may fail or be retried depending on your Konnectify settings. For high-volume workloads, add backoff/retry logic and avoid unnecessary “find” calls by caching IDs when possible.

Can I connect multiple Shopify stores to Konnectify?

Yes. Create a separate Konnectify connection for each store by using the appropriate Shop Name and custom app credentials for that store. Then select the desired connection inside each workflow step.

What’s the recommended way to create fulfillments in Shopify?

Typically you’ll first use Get Fulfillment Orders by Order ID to retrieve the fulfillment order(s) Shopify expects, then pass the resulting fulfillment order ID(s) into Create Fulfillment. To add shipment tracking updates afterward, use Create Fulfillment Event.
