Shopify Admin

Data & APIs

Shopify Admin API CLI for orders, products, customers, and store management. Uses REST and GraphQL APIs with environment-based authentication.

Install

openclaw skills install shopify-admin

shopify-admin - Shopify Admin API

Interact with Shopify Admin API for order management, product operations, customer data, and store analytics.

Prerequisites

Required binaries: curl, jq (must be installed and on PATH).

Environment: The script uses only the process environment. It does not source any file (no ~/.openclaw/.env or other dotenv). Set these variables where the OpenClaw agent/gateway runs (e.g. export in shell, or in a file that your gateway loads at startup):

SHOPIFY_STORE_DOMAIN=your-store.myshopify.com
SHOPIFY_ACCESS_TOKEN=shpat_xxx

If the script is run by the agent, ensure the gateway process has these vars (many setups load ~/.openclaw/.env when starting the gateway — then the agent inherits them; the script itself does not read that file).

Important Notes

PII Access Limitations

  • Customer names, emails, addresses require Shopify plan or higher
  • Basic plan: PII fields return null via API
  • Web UI always shows full customer data
  • Workaround: Use webhooks to capture PII before masking

API Versions

  • Current: 2026-01
  • Update version in URL for newer features

Rate Limits

  • REST: 2 calls/second (Shopify plan)
  • GraphQL: Same bucket as REST
  • Check X-Shopify-Shop-Api-Call-Limit header

Response Codes

  • 200: Success
  • 201: Created
  • 204: Deleted (no body)
  • 429: Rate limited
  • 403: Permission denied (check scopes)

Scopes Required

  • read_orders, write_orders
  • read_products, write_products
  • read_customers, write_customers
  • read_analytics
  • read_marketing_events, write_marketing_events
  • read_customer_events
  • read_reports

Tips

  • Use jq for JSON parsing: | jq '.orders[0]'
  • Add -w "\nHTTP: %{http_code}" to curl for status codes
  • Use GraphQL for complex nested queries
  • REST is simpler for basic CRUD operations
