Shopify is a popular e-commerce platform. It provides small or big businesses with an all-in-one tool to start, manage and grow their business online or in-store. 
 

When you integrate Shopify with Wiresk, you open a broader way to manage your online store. You can automate, retrieve, create, update, and manage various Shopify data points through scheduled Triggers, Webhook Triggers, and Methods.

To use Shopify with our platform, you must have a Shopify account.
You can create an account at www.shopify.com/signup.
 
Explore the available functionalities through the Shopify API documentation.

A connection to your Shopify account is needed so we can sync it with our platform.

There are two ways to connect your app to Wiresk:

  • In “My apps” section, where you can manage your connections (select or create your group first to get access to this section, refer to the Group system ).
  • While building your Flow, you can easily establish a connection to your app directly within the Flow builder. This can be done during the setup of either a Trigger or a Method.

This guide explains how to set up a connection in “My apps” section, which is essentially the same process as creating one on-the-go.

  • On your Wiresk’s Dashboard, select your Group.
  • On the left panel, go to “My apps” and select Screenshot 2025 04 08 at 9.58.41 in the morning Shopify Connection & Settings
  • Search “Shopify” in the search field or scroll down the list of apps and select the shopify icon.

Currently, Wiresk provides a single connection option, and will be expanded in later releases.

You’ll need to create a custom app in your Shopify store to enable this connection.

To personalize and optimize your Shopify store, you can create a custom app, distinct from publicly available apps. These tailored applications, developed by you or a programmer, can add specialized features to your admin interface, provide direct data access through Shopify’s APIs, and facilitate integration with other platforms using the Storefront API.

Learn more about custom apps by reading the developer documentation for custom apps.

Before building custom apps for your Shopify store, you need to turn on custom app development in your admin settings. This requires store owner or staff permissions. 

  • From your Shopify dashboard, go to Settings > Apps and sales channels.
  • Click Develop apps.
  • Click Allow custom app development.
  • Read the warning and information provided, and then click Allow custom app development.

After confirming, you can create and install your app, setting API scopes for data access. Installation provides access tokens for API interaction. Store owners and authorized staff can create and install these apps.

  • From your Shopify admin, go to Settings > Apps and sales channels.
  • Click Develop apps.
  • Click Create a custom app.
  • In the modal window, enter the App name and select an App developer. The app developer can be the store owner, or any staff or collaborator account with the Develop apps permission.
  • Click Create app.

After you create a custom app, you can assign API scopes to it. Set the scopes as follow:

Screenshot of Shopify Partyner screen. It Shows where to set the required Scope for Wiresk App.
  • Click Select scopes.
  • In the Admin API access scopes section, select the API scopes that you to assign to the app.
  • Set the API version you want to use for webhook subscriptions.
  • In the Storefront API access scopes section, select the API scopes that you want to assign to the app.
  • Click Save.

Once you’ve configured the API scopes, you can proceed with app installation, which will then generate your Admin API access tokens.

The Admin API access token is displayed one time only, because the token provides API access to sensitive store data. After revealing the access token, write down or record the token somewhere secure so that you can refer to it again in Wiresk “create connection”.
  • Click Install app.
  • In the modal window, click Install app.
  • Get the access token:
    • Go to the Admin API access token section and click Reveal token once. After revealing the full access token the first time this page is accessed, this page displays only the last 4 digits of the access token for reference on subsequent visits.
  • Go to My apps tab > select “+ Create” button > search Shopify.
  • On the settings right panel, name your connection.
  • Select Custom App Connection tab.
  • Enter your Shopify Shop URL (Subdomain name).
    • Find it in your Shopify account dashboard > Settings > the URL under your shop name (in the top left corner). If the URL of your store is mystore.myshopify.com, the subdomain to enter is mystore.
Screenshot of Wiresk Add apps screen. It Shows the settings of the custom app connection in Shopify.
  • Enter your Admin API Token saved from the previous step.
  • Select the API version defined from the previous steps.
  • Select Create App to complete your connection process.

Voila! Your Shopify Custom App connection is ready. You can now use it to build your Flows.

Now that your app is linked to Wiresk, you’re ready to start building Flows.

Simple steps to create a Flow ↓
  • Select your Group, then on the Flow management screen click on “Create Flow”.
  • On the new screen, name the new Flow.

Add a Trigger that will start your Flow

Flows can be executed by multiple Triggers, depending on the desired workflow. For example, you could use scheduled Triggers with different recurrence rules alongside a Webhook Trigger for immediate, event-driven runs of the Flow. If you choose to “Run Once“, the Flow will execute using only one Trigger and its sample data.
  • Click on the (+) button to open the Trigger settings side panel.
  • On the settings side panel, click on the “+ Add” button.
Screenshot of the Wiresk side panel titled “Trigger.” The panel shows a section labeled “All Triggers” with a blue “+ Add” button for inserting a new Trigger.
  • On the Trigger selection screen, search your app or select it from the list below the screen.

  • Select your preferred Trigger on the next screen and customize its settings.
As mentioned in “How to connect your app to Wiresk” above, during your Trigger settings, you can create a new connection to your apps at this stage.

Add a Method that will execute a task

The Method will perform a specific task on a particular app or service you’ve connected to Wiresk like get info or send emails.

You can add at least 1 or multiple Methods for complex Flows (a maximum of 255 Methods).
  • On the Flow builder, select the (+) plus button next the Trigger button.
  • Search or scroll down to select the app that will perform a task.
  • Configure the Methods settings, refer to it documentation in our Help Center.

On the right, the panel lists available apps and tools. A search bar is displayed at the top of the panel for filtering apps. Red arrows highlight the empty step placeholder, the search bar, and items in the app list.

Add Wiresk Tools to your Flow

If you want to build a complex Flow, Wiresk offers a selection of tools at your disposal. Refer to Wiresk’s Tools

To add Tools in your Flow, Follow the same step as adding the Methods.

  • On the Flow builder screen, click on the plus button (+) then just click on the “Tool” tab and select the Tool that you want to add.

On the right side, the “Tool” tab is selected in the panel. Another red arrow highlights the “Tool” tab label at the top. A search bar is shown above a list of available tools.
You can refer to “How to Create a Flow” tutorial for more detailed instructions, including step-by-step guidance on mapping and configuration.

What will start your automation…

SHOPIFY Shopify

These Triggers will start your Flow automatically at a specific time or intervals instead of being triggered real-time event (Webhooks).

Run Once Tab: This tab allows you to schedule a Flow to execute a single time at a specific date and time. This is ideal for one-time operations such as data syncs, cleanups, or initial configuration steps. After execution, the schedule will be automatically cleared unless rescheduled manually.

Run Tab: This tab is used to set up repeating schedules:

  • Repeat feature: This dropdown determines how long the automation will continue repeating based on the selected frequency (Minutely or Hourly). You can choose from:
    • Repeat Forever
      • The automation will continue to run indefinitely at the defined interval (e.g. every 15 minutes).
      • No end condition is specified.
    • Repeat for (x) Times
      • You set a specific number of repetitions.
      • Requires the field Number (x) of Repeat Times to be filled (e.g. 10 times).
    • Repeat Between Start & End Dates
      • The automation will run only within a defined date range.
      • Additional fields will appear to select start and end dates.
      • Useful for limited-time schedules like campaigns or batch jobs.
  • Daily at Multiple Times: Sets the Flow to run several times per day based on a minutely or hourly interval.
  • Daily: This allows a Flow to run x times per day at a specific time.
  • Weekly: This allows you to run a Flow weekly by selecting the days and time.
  • Monthly: This will monitor your Trigger every month on a defined date and hour.
  • Yearly: This will monitor your Trigger on a specific date and hour every year.
  • Specific dates: This will start your Trigger on specific dates and time.

For more details, see Wiresk Scheduler – The Fundamentals.

After configuring your Trigger, you can load sample data into the Example Input panel in Flow Builder. This gives you a preview of what the Trigger returns and prepares the data for mapping.

How to get it:

  • Enter manually: Add your own sample data in the JSON editor, plain JSON string, or form view.
  • Use predefined Trigger samples: Triggers provide ready-made sample data that can be pulled directly into the Example Input panel.
  • Capture Example Input: Enable this option to record real data the next time the Flow runs. The captured sample will automatically appear in the panel.

With Sample Input in place, you can review the field structure and connect Trigger outputs to Method parameters with confidence.

For more details, refer to Example Input – How it Works.

Once your Flow is configured, you can test or automate it using the Run panel or by managing Triggers from the Flow Management screen.

  • Run Flow: Manually runs the Flow once using sample data. Ideal for testing logic and field mapping. See How to Run a Flow.
  • Run Scheduler: Force-runs the Trigger immediately using live input. This bypasses the recurrence rule and is useful for verifying real data mapping. Learn more in Wiresk Scheduler – The Fundamentals.

From the Trigger management panel (clock icon), you can:

  • Activate or deactivate Triggers
  • Force-run the scheduler
  • Copy Routing Keys (for HTTP Triggers)

If your Flow uses a Webhook Trigger, it runs automatically on each incoming webhook—no scheduler required. It remains active until you manually deactivate it.
