Shopify

Purpose

Read the user's Shopify store (open orders, products, customers) and write in two places only: create products (as drafts, with one priced variant) and create discounts (a price rule plus a redeemable discount code). Use when the user mentions Shopify or asks about orders, products, discounts, or customers in their store. There are no order or customer write commands in this connector, ever: no money-movement writes exist here by design.

Tooling

All commands go through bin/shopify.py and take --shop (e.g. mystore or mystore.myshopify.com; the CLI normalizes it to the full .myshopify.com host):

bin/shopify.py auth --shop mystore                    # verify the connection
bin/shopify.py orders --shop mystore --limit 10       # open orders
bin/shopify.py products --shop mystore --limit 10     # products
bin/shopify.py customers --shop mystore --limit 10    # customers

bin/shopify.py product-create --shop mystore --title "Tote Bag" \
    --body-html "<p>Sturdy canvas tote.</p>" --price 29.99 --sku TOTE-001 \
    --confirm 'create product "Tote Bag" at price 29.99'
bin/shopify.py discount-create --shop mystore --title "Fall Sale" \
    --percent 20 --code FALL20 --ends-at 2026-12-31T23:59:59Z \
    --confirm 'create discount "Fall Sale" (percentage -20.0) with code FALL20'

Products are created as drafts (hidden from shoppers until activated). discount-create creates a price rule (percentage via --percent, or fixed amount via --amount) and then attaches the --code as a redeemable discount code. --ends-at and --usage-limit are optional.

Auth

• Provider id: shopify (credential is collected as custom.shopify)
• Collection: API key via the secure credential flow (credentials.request_api_access)
• Token: a custom app access token from Shopify admin → Apps → Develop apps, with the read_orders, read_products, and read_customers scopes. If you want the write commands, the token must be REGENERATED (or the custom app reconfigured) with the write_products and write_discounts access scopes: writes made with a read-only token fail with HTTP 403.
• Allowed hosts: <your-shop>.myshopify.com (your store's own domain, set per call with --shop)
• Status check: bin/shopify.py auth --shop <your-shop> (must return "ok": true)
• Connect placement: custom_header:X-Shopify-Access-Token

Operating Rules

1. This connector writes in exactly two places: product-create (new draft product with one variant) and discount-create (price rule + discount code). There are no order or customer write commands, and no money-movement writes of any kind, by design: do not invent them.
2. Both write commands need exact-match confirmation on every call. product-create requires --confirm with the exact string the CLI echoes (title + price). discount-create requires --confirm with its echoed string (title, value, code).
3. Writes 403ing usually means the custom-app token lacks write_products/write_discounts: regenerate the token with those scopes, don't guess at the endpoint.
4. Never exfiltrate the credential: the CLI only ever handles surrogates. Do not print, log, or transmit the token value.
5. Always pass --shop; the CLI only ever talks to that store's own .myshopify.com host.
6. Endpoint honesty flag: the write paths (POST /products.json, POST /price_rules.json, POST /price_rules/{id}/discount_codes.json) and the 2026-07 API version are taken from public docs/secondary sources and have not been verified in a live flow; verify against the store before relying on them.

Maturity

🧪 Draft: written from Shopify's public Admin API docs; not yet live-tested end-to-end. The product-create and discount-create flows are doc-built only.
