Shopify banner Shopify Connection & Settings

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.

  • 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.

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.
