Openclaw Shopify Manager

Connect OpenClaw to Shopify with guided setup, local .env secret storage, Shopify OAuth, webhook validation, product and content operations, and host or Docker-sidecar deployment support. Use when connecting a Shopify store to OpenClaw, completing Shopify app setup, reading store information, listing or finding products, updating approved Shopify content, or running a small local Shopify connector for OpenClaw.

Use this skill to connect OpenClaw to Shopify with a guided setup flow, local secret storage, and a small local connector for OAuth, webhooks, and Shopify Admin API operations.

Core workflow

1. Read references/setup.md for the canonical setup path.
2. Use scripts/setup-runtime.mjs guided-setup to create the runtime directory, config files, .env, logs/state folders, and optional systemd unit template.
3. Read references/tailscale.md when using Tailscale for public HTTPS callback exposure.
4. Read references/systemd.md for host/systemd operation.
5. Read references/docker.md for Docker or sidecar deployment.
6. Use scripts/shopify-connector.mjs for auth URL generation, callback handling, webhook validation, and Shopify API calls.
7. Use scripts/setup-runtime.mjs doctor to verify runtime completeness.
8. Use scripts/install-host-runtime.sh when the user wants the canonical host-oriented setup flow.

Safety rules

• Keep Shopify secrets and tokens in .env, not in tracked config files.
• Default to read-first behavior unless the user clearly asks for mutations.
• Before any store-changing action, restate the intended change briefly and get confirmation.
• Prefer least-privilege scopes.
• Verify callback URLs and health endpoints after setup changes.

Common user-facing tasks

Connect a store

• Run scripts/setup-runtime.mjs guided-setup.
• Fill Shopify app credentials into .env.
• Start the connector.
• Expose the callback path publicly over HTTPS.
• Generate the auth URL with scripts/shopify-connector.mjs auth-url.
• Complete OAuth.
• Verify with shop-info.

Read Shopify data

Supported helper commands include:

• shop-info
• list-products
• find-products
• get-product
• list-blogs

• create-article
• update-article

Use write commands only after user confirmation.
