Shopify trigger

Overview

The Shopify Trigger node listens for webhook events from a Shopify store. It supports 55+ event topics covering orders, products, customers, fulfillments, inventory, collections, themes, and more. Incoming webhooks are verified using HMAC-SHA256 signature validation. When an event matching the configured topic is received, the trigger fires and passes the full webhook payload into the workflow.

Output Data

Each verified Shopify webhook produces one output item. The Shopify resource payload — the order, product, customer or other record the event is about — is merged in at the top level, alongside this metadata:

• _trigger — always shopify_webhook
• _timestamp — ISO 8601 timestamp of when the request arrived
• _webhookEvent — the Shopify topic that fired, taken from the request headers
• _shopDomain — the myshopify.com domain the event came from
• _apiVersion — the Shopify Admin API version that produced the payload

Reference the payload downstream by expression, e.g. {{ $json.id }} or {{ $json.total_price }}. Requests that fail signature verification are rejected, and deliveries whose topic does not match the configured Topic are acknowledged without starting the workflow.

Example Configuration

Fire on every new order:

{
  "type": "shopify_trigger",
  "parameters": {
    "topic": "orders/create"
  }
}

React to product edits:

{
  "type": "shopify_trigger",
  "parameters": {
    "topic": "products/update"
  }
}

Track new customers:

{
  "type": "shopify_trigger",
  "parameters": {
    "topic": "customers/create"
  }
}

Watch inventory levels across locations:

{
  "type": "shopify_trigger",
  "parameters": {
    "topic": "inventory_levels/update"
  }
}

Handle refunds:

{
  "type": "shopify_trigger",
  "parameters": {
    "topic": "refunds/create"
  }
}

Trigger Behavior

• Activation: When the workflow is activated, a webhook endpoint is registered with the service.
• Deactivation: The webhook is automatically unregistered when the workflow is deactivated.
• Payload: The incoming webhook payload is parsed and output as workflow items.
• Verification: Supports signature verification where applicable.

Tips

This tool monitors a Shopify store for events related to orders, products, customers, and inventory. It is ideal for initiating workflows when specific changes occur within your Shopify store, unlike tools that perform actions or retrieve data. The tool produces a verified webhook payload containing the details of the detected Shopify event.
