About

Shopify ships in the w6w first-party pack. It declares 18 actions, 3 health checks, and the host runs its code in a sandbox that never sees the credential.

Overview

Shopify manages products, orders, customers and inventory from a workflow through the Admin API — creating and updating products, and reading and managing orders including canceling or closing one directly, without a person opening the Shopify admin.

Customers can be created, updated, searched and looked up by their order history, and inventory levels can be set directly at a location, which covers keeping stock counts accurate as they change outside Shopify itself. Store locations can be listed, and the shop’s own record fetched, giving a workflow the context it needs before acting on a specific order or inventory item.

A fit for syncing inventory from an external warehouse system, automating order fulfillment steps like cancellation or closing, or keeping customer records in sync between Shopify and a CRM.

Build with Shopify

Three routes to the same 18 actions. The Workflow tab is generated from Shopify's own manifest and carries its real ids, so it is copy-pasteable; the Code and CLI examples are the same call for any action on any app, so every app-specific value in them is a blank you fill in.

Create Customer

customer-create

Create a customer. Shopify requires at least an email or a phone number.

Get Customer

customer-get

Fetch a customer by id.

Get Customer Orders

customer-get-orders

List the orders belonging to one customer.

Search Customers

customer-search

Find customers by email, name, tag or any indexed field.

Update Customer

customer-update

Update a customer's profile.

Set Inventory Level

inventory-level-set

Set stock for an item at a location to an absolute number. Absolute, not a delta, so it is retry-safe.

List Locations

location-get-many

List the store's locations — the source of the location ids inventory actions need.

Cancel Order

order-cancel

Cancel an order, optionally restocking its items and notifying the customer.

Close or Reopen Order

order-close

Archive an order, or reopen an archived one. Neither cancels nor refunds it.

Get Order

order-get

Fetch an order by id.

List Orders

order-get-many

List orders. Shopify defaults to open orders only — set Status to `any` to include closed ones.

Update Order

order-update

Update an order's note, tags or contact details. Line items and totals are immutable.

Create Product

product-create

Create a product. Shopify adds a default variant if none is supplied.

Delete Product

product-delete

Permanently delete a product. Archive it with `product-update` instead for a reversible removal.

Get Product

product-get

Fetch a product by id.

List Products

product-get-many

List products. Follow `nextPageInfo` for the next page — Shopify paginates with a Link header.

Update Product

product-update

Update a product's fields. Variants are edited through their own endpoints.

Get Shop

shop-get

Fetch the store's own settings — currency, timezone, plan and address.

A workflow step names the app and the action, and the editor fills in the connection when you pick one. This is the Step shape from the workflow spec, carrying Shopify's real ids.

{
  "manifestVersion": "2",

+13 more actions available

Every app-specific value here is a blank you have to fill in. An app action is reached through the connection that authenticates it, so the address is a connection id, not the app id — and connections belong to your account, so a public page cannot know yours. Create one for Shopify, then fill in the three blanks: conn_YOUR_CONNECTION_ID, the action key, and the parameters that action declares. The call itself is real — the shape is transcribed from the studio's own snippet builder, which prints the same kind of blanks — but nothing in it is specific to Shopify. The Workflow tab is where this app's real ids are.

Install
npm install @w6w/sdk
yarn add @w6w/sdk
pnpm add @w6w/sdk
deno add npm:@w6w/sdk
Code
import { W6wClient, isActionRun } from "@w6w/sdk";

// Reads W6W_BASE_URL and W6W_TOKEN from the environment when omitted.
const client = new W6wClient();

const envelope = await client.run({
  urn: "conn_YOUR_CONNECTION_ID",
  action: "product-create",
  payload: {
    title: "<value>",
    // bodyHtml: "<value>",
    // vendor: "<value>",
    // productType: "<value>",
    // status: "<value>",
    // tags: "<value>",
    // variants: "<value>",
  },
});

if (isActionRun(envelope)) console.log(envelope.value);
Install the CLI
npm install -g @w6w/cli
CLI
w6w run conn_YOUR_CONNECTION_ID --action product-create --payload '{"title":"<value>"}'

Give an AI agent Shopify — without giving it Shopify's credentials. One MCP endpoint exposes every app, function and workflow the caller is entitled to, as tools it can discover and run. Access is granted per team while we onboard.

One tool call
{
  "name": "w6w_invoke",
  "arguments": {
    "ref": "app:io.w6w.shopify#customer-get",
    "input": {
      "customerId": "<customerId>"
    }
  }
}

Every tool names its target with a single ref. The app: form above doesn't name a connection at all — the host resolves which of the caller's Shopify connections to sign with, and refuses rather than guesses when the answer is ambiguous.

What the agent gets

Credentials it can't read

The token is attached host-side, at the moment of the call. It is never a tool argument, never in the model's context, and never in a transcript — so a prompt injection has nothing to exfiltrate.

A tool surface scoped to the caller

Tools are derived per end user from what that person has actually connected and is entitled to — not one shared bot identity carrying the union of everyone's access.

A durable workflow in one call

Multi-step work runs on the workflow engine and returns a run handle the agent can poll — retries, branching and state survive the conversation that started them.

Health-aware discovery

Shopify's declared health checks are on the surface too, so an agent can tell "the vendor is down" from "your credential expired" before it burns a retry on either.

The MCP surface is part of the hosted platform. Shopify itself is MIT, and the runtime that executes it is source-available (FSL).

Request MCP access

Health checks

Shopify declares its own checks, so its health is a property of the app rather than something the host guesses at.

service

Shopify platform status

Atlassian Statuspage rollup for www.shopifystatus.com, with per-component detail. Unauthenticated and unsigned.

quota

API call-limit headroom

Leaky-bucket headroom from `X-Shopify-Shop-Api-Call-Limit`, reported as calls still available before throttling.

dependency

Store reachable

Unauthenticated request to this connection's store admin API. A 401 passes — it proves the store is serving; token validity is the `auth:*` check's job.
