Shopify
With Shopify modules in Make, you can manage the orders, products, product variants, product images, collects, custom collections, customers, articles, pages, refunds, fulfillments, fulfillment orders, fulfillment services, inventories, abandoned checkouts, transations, discounts, metafields, payments, and themes in your Shopify account.
To use the Shopify modules, you must have a Shopify account. You can create an account at www.shopify.com/signup.
Refer to the Shopify API documentation for a list of available endpoints.
Connecting Shopify to Make
Shopify offers two types of connections:
To connect your Shopify account to Make, follow these steps:
Use the Shopify connection type by default. If creating the connection causes errors, use the custom or private app connection type.
Insert a Shopify module into a scenario. Under Connection, click Add.
The Create a Connection dialog appears.
In the Connection type, select Shopify.
Type a Connection name.
Enter the Myshopify.com subdomain of your store.
For example, if the URL of your store is
https://mystore.myshopify.com, the subdomain to enter in the connection dialog ismystore.
Click Save.
The system opens Shopify in a new window. Shopify asks you to log in and install the Make app and approve its access to your store data.
In the Shopify Install dialog, review the privacy and permissions details, and then click Install unlisted app.
Use the Shopify (custom or private app) connection type if the standard Shopify connection type does not work for you.
This connection type requires creating a custom app in your Shopify store.
Log in to your Shopify store, click Apps, then click App and sales channel settings.
On the Apps and channels screen, click Develop apps.
Click Allow custom app development, then confirm this action again by clicking Allow custom app development on the next screen.
This will allow you to create an API token that you will use when creating the connection in Make.
Click Create an app.
Type an App name, select an App developer, and click Create app.
Click Configuration, then click Configure next to Admin API integration.
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 app.
Shopify creates an Admin API access token. Click Reveal token once and copy the token. You will enter this token into Make in the next step.
In Make, add a Shopify module to a scenario. Under Connection, click Add, then fill in the required details shown in the following image.
Click Save.
Use this to connect your Public App created in your Partner Dashboard.
To create an app:
From your Partner Dashboard, click Apps > Create app.
Provide an app name, URL, and Redirect URLs.
Click Create app. You are directed to your app's overview page, where you can view the API key and API secret that you will need for the module's connection configuration.

To establish a private app connection, you need to create a private app to obtain the API Key and Password.

2. Navigate to Apps > Manage private apps.
3. Click the Create new private app button (
).
4. Fill in the required fields, click Save, and Create App.

7. Enter the Domain (if your Shopify online store address is, for example, xyz.myshopify.com, enter only "xyz".) and API Key and Password provided in step 5 to the respective fields, and click the Continue button to establish the connection.
The connection has been established. You can set up the private app's Make an API Call module.
Build Shopify Scenarios
After connecting the app, you can perform the following actions:
Create an Order

If not specified, the item is treated as not requiring shipping, and Shopify ignores Shipping Lines.

This app uses webhooks to trigger a scenario when an event occurs instantly. All webhook modules have an instant tag next to their name.
When you create a Shopify webhook in Make, it is attached automatically and requires no additional set up.
Common Issues
Errors: [API] This action requires merchant approval for <XXXX_XXXX> scope
You need to create a new connection with a required scope.
Unfortunately, when you create a new connection, all previously used scopes are removed from your account, and only scopes added in the latest connection are used for all your connections (including the previously created connections).
Include all needed scopes in the new connection.
