Shopify Node

The Shopify node allows you to connect directly to your Shopify store and automate e-commerce operations in your workflows.

You can use it to manage products, orders, customers, inventory, fulfillments, and more — all using a single node.

What the Shopify Node Does

The Shopify node sends requests to the Shopify Admin API using your store’s access token and returns structured data that can be used in other nodes. You can watch this video on how to get you access token as of 2026.

This allows you to:

• Fetch and manage products

• Create and update orders

• Manage customers

• Track inventory

• Handle fulfillments

• Work with metafields

Setting Up Shopify Credentials

Syncaut uses a BYOK (Bring Your Own Key) model.

For Shopify, the only credential required is your Admin API Access Token.

Getting Your Shopify Access Token (Step-by-Step)

This is the most important part of using the Shopify node. If this is set up incorrectly, your workflows will fail.

Follow these steps carefully.

Step 1: Go to Your Shopify Admin

1. Log in to your Shopify store

2. Open your admin dashboard
   Example:

   https://your-store.myshopify.com/admin
   

Step 2: Enable Custom App Development

1. In the bottom-left, click Settings

2. Click Apps and sales channels

3. Click Develop apps

If you don’t see this option:

• Click Allow custom app development

• Confirm the warning

Step 3: Create a New App

1. Click Create an app

2. Enter a name (e.g., Syncaut Integration)

3. Click Create app

Step 4: Configure API Permissions (VERY IMPORTANT)

Before generating your token, you MUST assign permissions.

1. Inside your app, click Configure Admin API scopes

2. Select the permissions based on what you want to do:

For Products

• read_products

• write_products

For Orders

• read_orders

• write_orders

For Customers

• read_customers

• write_customers

For Inventory

• read_inventory

• write_inventory

For Fulfillment

• write_fulfillment

For Metafields

• write_metafields

• read_metafields

💡 Tip:
If you're unsure, start with both read + write for the resources you plan to automate.

Step 5: Install the App

1. Click Install app (top right)

2. Confirm installation

⚠️ You will NOT get an access token until the app is installed.

Step 6: Copy Your Access Token

1. Go to API credentials

2. Find Admin API access token

3. Click Reveal token once

4. Copy it immediately

⚠️ Important:

• You can only see it once

• Store it securely

• If you lose it, regenerate a new one

Step 7: Add It to Syncaut

1. Go to Credentials in Syncaut

2. Create a new credential

3. Paste the access token

4. Save

How Permissions Affect Your Workflows

If your permissions are wrong, Shopify will reject your requests.

Examples:

• Trying to create a product without write_products → ❌ fails

• Trying to fetch orders without read_orders → ❌ fails

Common Errors (and Fixes)

“403 Forbidden” or “Access Denied”

➡️ Your app does not have the required permissions
✔️ Fix: Add the corresponding permissions

Adding Shopify Credentials in Syncaut

1. Go to Credentials

2. Create a new credential

3. Paste your Admin API access token

4. Save

You can reuse this credential across multiple workflows and workspaces.

Configuring the Shopify Node

Variable Name

Defines how the output will be referenced in later nodes.

Example:

myShopify

Usage:

{{myShopify.data}}

Shopify Credentials

Select the credential containing your Shopify access token.

Shop URL

Your Shopify store URL.

Format:

https://your-store.myshopify.com

This must match your actual Shopify store domain.

Action

This defines what operation the node will perform.

Actions are grouped into categories:

Products

• Get Products

• Get Single Product

• Create Product

• Update Product

• Delete Product

Orders

• Get Orders

• Get Single Order

• Create Order

• Update Order

• Cancel Order

Customers

• Get Customers

• Get Single Customer

• Create Customer

• Update Customer

• Search Customers

Inventory

• Get Inventory Levels

• Set Inventory Level

• Adjust Inventory

Fulfillment

• Create Fulfillment

• Update Tracking

Metafield

• Get Metafields

• Create Metafield

• Update Metafield

Request Payload (JSON)

Some actions require additional input. This is provided as a JSON payload.

You can use variables from previous nodes inside the payload.

Example:

{
  "product": {
    "title": "{{productTitle}}",
    "variants": [{
      "price": "{{price}}"
    }]
  }
}

Using Variables in Payload

The Shopify node supports dynamic values using variables:

• {{variable}} for simple values

• {{json variable}} for structured data

Example:

{
  "productId": "{{myPreviousNode.productId}}"
}

How It Works Internally

• Your payload is processed with variable substitution

• The correct Shopify API endpoint is selected based on the action

• A request is sent using your access token

• The response is returned and stored in your variable

Using Shopify Output in Other Nodes

The Shopify node returns structured data like this:

{{myShopify.data}}

You can pass this into:

• AI nodes (for summarization or analysis)

• Slack/Discord (for notifications)

• Databases (for storage)

• Other APIs

Common Use Cases

• Sync orders into a database

• Auto-create products from external data

• Send order alerts to Slack

• Update inventory automatically

• Enrich Shopify data using AI

Best Practices

• Always validate required fields (e.g., productId, orderId)

• Use clear variable names

• Test payloads before production use

• Avoid sending unnecessary data

• Reuse credentials instead of creating duplicates

The Shopify node turns your store into a fully programmable system, allowing you to automate complex e-commerce workflows without writing backend code.
