Shopify

Manage Shopify products, orders, customers, inventory, collections, and store operations via the Shopify Admin API with OAuth authentication. Use this skill when users want to read or modify Shopify store data, manage product listings, process orders, track inventory, or automate e-commerce workflows.

Manage a Shopify store via the Shopify Admin API with OAuth authentication. List and search products, process orders, track customers and inventory, manage collections, and automate store operations.

This skill uses ClawLink for hosted connection flows and credentials so you do not need to configure Shopify API access yourself.

Install

Install the verified ClawLink plugin from ClawHub. After the user confirms, complete the full setup so ClawLink tools are visible in the next OpenClaw chat.

bash

openclaw plugins install clawhub:clawlink-plugin
openclaw config set tools.alsoAllow '["clawlink-plugin"]' --strict-json
openclaw gateway restart

Then tell the user: "OpenClaw has been restarted. Send /new as a standalone message to start a fresh chat, then ask for Shopify again."

Quick Start

bash

# List products
clawlink_call_tool --tool "shopify_list_products" --params '{}'

# Get a specific product
clawlink_call_tool --tool "shopify_get_product" --params '{"product_id": "PRODUCT_ID"}'

# Search customers
clawlink_call_tool --tool "shopify_search_customers" --params '{"query": "[e-mail]"}'

Authentication

All Shopify tool calls are authenticated automatically by ClawLink using the user's connected Shopify store OAuth token.

No API key is required in chat. ClawLink stores the OAuth token securely and injects it into every Shopify Admin API request on the user's behalf.

Getting Connected

1. Install the ClawLink plugin (see Install above).
2. Pair the plugin with clawlink_begin_pairing if it is not configured yet.
3. Open https://claw-link.dev/dashboard?add=shopify and connect Shopify.
4. Call clawlink_list_integrations to verify the connection is active.

Connection Management

List Connections

bash

clawlink_list_integrations

Response: Returns all connected integrations. Look for shopify in the list.

Verify Connection

bash

clawlink_list_tools --integration shopify

Response: Returns the live tool catalog for Shopify.

Reconnect

If Shopify tools are missing or the connection shows an error:

1. Direct the user to https://claw-link.dev/dashboard?add=shopify
2. After they confirm, call clawlink_list_integrations to verify
3. Then call clawlink_list_tools --integration shopify

Security & Permissions

• Access is scoped to the Shopify store connected during OAuth setup.
• All write operations require explicit user confirmation. Before executing any create, update, or delete call, confirm the target resource and intended effect with the user.
• Destructive actions (cancel order, delete product, issue refund) are marked as high-impact and must be confirmed.
• Bulk delete operations cannot be undone and must be explicitly confirmed.

Discovery Workflow

1. Call clawlink_list_integrations to confirm Shopify is connected.
2. Call clawlink_list_tools --integration shopify to see the live catalog.
3. Treat the returned list as the source of truth. Do not guess or assume what tools exist.
4. If the user describes a capability but the exact tool is unclear, call clawlink_search_tools with a short query and integration shopify.
5. If no Shopify tools appear, direct the user to https://claw-link.dev/dashboard?add=shopify.

Execution Workflow

                              ▼
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│  WRITE OPERATIONS (Require Confirmation)                    │
│  describe → preview → confirm → call                        │
│                                                             │
│  Example: Preview refund → User approves → Process refund    │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

1. For unfamiliar tools, ambiguous requests, or any write action, call clawlink_describe_tool first.
2. Use the returned guidance, schema, whenToUse, askBefore, safeDefaults, examples, and followups to shape the call.
3. Prefer read, list, search, and get operations before writes when that reduces ambiguity.
4. For writes or anything marked as requiring confirmation, call clawlink_preview_tool first.
5. Execute with clawlink_call_tool. Pass confirmation only after the preview matches the user's intent.
6. If the tool call fails, report the real error. Do not invent results or restate the failure as a missing capability unless the live catalog supports that conclusion.

Notes

• Products with many variants may require multiple API calls to fetch full variant data.
• Order cancellation is only possible for orders that are not already paid or fulfilled.
• Refunds require calculating first (shopify_calculate_refund) to get accurate transaction data.
• Bulk operations (bulk product creation, bulk metafield deletion) run asynchronously and return a job ID.
• Webhook subscriptions require a publicly accessible callback URL.
• Metafield operations require knowing the namespace and key for the target resource.

Error Handling

Status / Error	Meaning
Tool not found	The tool name does not exist in the current catalog. Verify with clawlink_list_tools --integration shopify.
Missing connection	Shopify is not connected. Direct the user to https://claw-link.dev/dashboard?add=shopify.
product_not_found	The product ID does not exist or has been deleted.
order_not_found	The order ID does not exist or has been deleted.
customer_not_found	The customer ID does not exist.
not_authorised	The connected account lacks permission for this operation.
fulfillment_not_cancellable	The fulfillment has already been completed or cannot be cancelled.
order_already_cancelled	The order has already been cancelled.
RefundAmountMismatch	Calculated refund amounts don't match expected values. Re-calculate first.
Write rejected	User did not confirm a write action. Always confirm before executing writes.

Troubleshooting: Tools Not Visible

1. Check that the ClawLink plugin is installed:

   bash

   openclaw plugins list
   

2. If the plugin is installed but tools are missing, tell the user to send /new as a standalone message to reload the catalog.
3. If a fresh chat does not help, run:

   bash

   openclaw config set tools.alsoAllow '["clawlink-plugin"]' --strict-json
   openclaw gateway restart
   

4. After restart, tell the user to send /new again and retry.

Troubleshooting: Invalid Tool Call

1. Ensure the integration slug is exactly shopify.
2. Use clawlink_describe_tool to verify parameter names and types before calling.
3. For write operations, always call clawlink_preview_tool first.
4. Confirm the target resource exists before attempting updates or deletions.
