Shopify Expert: User Guide

What this skill is

This skill gives your OpenClaw agent structured guidance and bundled excerpts from Shopify official LLM documentation snapshot (regenerated into references/DOC_*.md), plus a hand-curated Admin REST API reference (references/ADMIN_REST_API.md). It covers apps, GraphQL Admin API, REST Admin JSON endpoints, CLI, Polaris, checkout / admin / customer account / POS extensions, Functions, webhooks, metafields, Liquid, themes, Hydrogen / headless, and deployment — at a point in time; always verify against live shopify.dev for your API version.

Not exhaustive: the bundle is not a full mirror of Shopify docs or every changelog. Treat it as entry points + checklists.

Intended role: Knowledge and routing — orient the agent, pick the smallest relevant references/ file, and use bundled text as a starting point. This skill is not a complete offline substitute for shopify.dev; when payloads, fields, or versioning must be exact, use live developer docs (or web tools your gateway allows).

The AI usually talks to Shopify over HTTPS (curl or similar). Broader gateway tools follow your host policy; see {baseDir}/references/OPENCLAW_INTEGRATION.md and {baseDir}/references/SAFETY.md.

No companion plugin (v1)

There is no OpenClaw plugin in v1 — only this skill and optional curl. Prefer documented Admin GraphQL (DOC_ADMIN_API.md), REST (ADMIN_REST_API.md), and CLI patterns; see {baseDir}/references/TOOLING.md and {baseDir}/references/AUTH.md.

Installation (typical)

1. Install the skill (ClawHub or skills/shopify-expert on the gateway host).
2. Set SHOPIFY_SHOP_DOMAIN (e.g. your-store.myshopify.com — see {baseDir}/references/AUTH.md).
3. Allow curl (and other tools only if your policy permits).
4. Restart the gateway after skill or env changes if needed.

Details: {baseDir}/README.md, {baseDir}/references/CONNECTING.md, {baseDir}/references/AUTH.md.

What you can expect from the AI

• Use live shopify.dev when API shape, versions, or compliance matter.
• Confirm the shop context, API version, and access scopes before writes.
• No secrets in chat — env and secret stores only; see {baseDir}/references/AUTH.md.

Required setup (eligibility)

Per metadata.openclaw.requires:

1. SHOPIFY_SHOP_DOMAIN — Admin / API host suffix, e.g. example.myshopify.com (no https://, no trailing path).

Optional for real API calls: access token and API version — see {baseDir}/references/AUTH.md.

When the agent should use this skill

Use for Shopify development: apps, extensions, Storefront API, Liquid/themes, Hydrogen, webhooks, Functions, metafields, deployment.

Load {baseDir}/references/OVERVIEW.md first, then the smallest matching DOC_*.md, ADMIN_REST_API.md (REST), or other hand-authored file.

Rules for the assistant (summary)

1. Version and context first — shop domain, API version, app type (public/custom), and scopes.
2. Prefer official GraphQL Admin API, REST Admin API where applicable, and CLI docs over guessing payloads.
3. Never echo tokens; reference env names only.
4. After tool or env changes, gateway restart may be required.

Where work runs: on the OpenClaw gateway (HTTP to Shopify), not inside Shopify’s runtime unless the user’s setup allows it.
