The Shopify integration connects your Archie app to a Shopify store. Once configured, you can read and update products, orders, customers, and inventory through namespaced GraphQL operations and react to store events via webhooks.
A typed TypeScript SDK for integrations is coming with the next archie-app release. This page documents the GraphQL operation surface available today.

​
Enable the integration

Open Integrations in the left sidebar and pick Shopify. You’ll need a Shopify Partner app or a custom app installed on your store (Shopify Admin → Apps and sales channels → Develop apps). From the app’s settings:
  • API Key — under API credentials.
  • API Secret — same place. Used to authenticate API calls and verify webhook signatures.
  • Store URL — your shop’s .myshopify.com domain (e.g. acme.myshopify.com).
  • Environment — Development or Production, so credentials route to the right environment.
Optional:
  • Access Token — set this if you want to skip the OAuth handshake and use a direct admin token from a private app.
  • Webhook Secret — separate from the API secret; used specifically to verify Shopify webhook payloads.
Secrets are encrypted with AES-256-GCM at rest.

​
What you can do

The integration covers the most common Shopify Admin API surfaces:
  • Products — list, get, create, update, delete; manage variants and metafields
  • Orders — list, get, create, update, fulfill, refund, cancel
  • Customers — list, get, create, update, search
  • Inventory — read and adjust stock levels per location
  • Webhooks — subscribe to store events from your Archie app

Reading and writing data

​
List products

query {
  shopify_products(first: 25) {
    edges {
      node {
        id
        title
        status
        totalInventory
        priceRange {
          minVariantPrice { amount currency }
          maxVariantPrice { amount currency }
        }
      }
    }
    pageInfo { hasNextPage endCursor }
  }
}

​
Create an order draft

mutation {
  shopify_createDraftOrder(input: {
    customerId: "gid://shopify/Customer/12345"
    lineItems: [
      { variantId: "gid://shopify/ProductVariant/67890", quantity: 2 }
    ]
    note: "Manual order from internal CRM"
  }) {
    id
    invoiceUrl
  }
}

​
Update inventory

mutation {
  shopify_adjustInventory(input: {
    inventoryItemId: "gid://shopify/InventoryItem/...."
    locationId: "gid://shopify/Location/...."
    delta: -1
  }) {
    available
  }
}

​
Search customers

query {
  shopify_searchCustomers(query: "email:ada@example.com") {
    edges {
      node {
        id
        firstName
        lastName
        email
        ordersCount
        totalSpent
      }
    }
  }
}

​
Webhooks

In Shopify Admin, go to Settings → Notifications → Webhooks and add the events you want, pointing each at the Archie-generated Shopify webhook URL for your project. Archie verifies the HMAC signature using your webhook secret before storing or dispatching the event. Common events to subscribe to:
  • orders/create, orders/paid, orders/cancelled, orders/fulfilled
  • products/create, products/update, products/delete
  • customers/create, customers/update
  • inventory_levels/update
  • app/uninstalled (so you can clean up if your app is removed)
See Webhooks for receiving events in custom functions.

FAQ

For a single store, a custom app inside Shopify Admin is simpler. For multi-store distribution or a public app on the Shopify App Store, you need a Partner app with OAuth. Both work with this integration; the credentials are the same shape.
Shopify’s GraphQL Admin API uses Global IDs. The legacy REST IDs (numeric) and GraphQL IDs are interchangeable — Archie accepts either format, but the GraphQL form is what comes back in responses.
Subscribe to products/update and products/create webhooks. In the handler, upsert into your Archie data model. For initial sync, paginate shopify_products until hasNextPage is false.
Shopify rate-limits the Admin API on a leaky-bucket model — roughly 2 requests per second on standard plans, more on Shopify Plus. If you need to do bulk reads, use Shopify’s Bulk Operation API rather than paginating manually; the integration exposes shopify_bulkOperationRunQuery for it.
Yes. Development stores work the same as live stores. Use the development store’s .myshopify.com URL and a custom app installed there, with your integration environment set to Development.
