automation
Run eight Shopify store workflows through OpenClaw, from PDP rewrites to VIP reports.
Connect OpenClaw to the Shopify Admin API and run agent-driven store workflows, including product rewrites, weekly digests, competitive intelligence, abandoned cart recovery, inventory alerts, VIP reporting, and launch prep.
This walkthrough shows how to connect OpenClaw to Shopify and actually run the store workflows end to end, not just wire the API. It covers the auth setup, the live use cases, and the reporting flow that makes the skill practical.

Quick Start Checklist
1. Set 3 environment variables
SHOPIFY_CLIENT_ID=your_client_id
SHOPIFY_CLIENT_SECRET=your_client_secret
SHOPIFY_STORE_DOMAIN=yourstore.myshopify.com
2. Verify auth works
Run the token check in references/auth.md. A successful response returns a
shpat_... token. 401 = wrong credentials. 403 = missing scope.
3. Grant the right scopes for your use case
| Use case | Required scopes |
|---|---|
| PDP Rewrite | read_products, write_products |
| Weekly Digest | read_orders, read_products, read_inventory |
| Competitive Intel | read_products, read_price_rules |
| Abandoned Cart Recovery | read_checkouts, read_customers |
| Flash Sale Planner | read_products, read_inventory, write_price_rules, write_discounts |
| Low Stock Alert | read_inventory, read_products |
| Customer VIP Report | read_customers, read_orders |
| Product Launch Prep | read_products, write_products, read_inventory |
4. Register the report route (optional — only needed for UC2, UC3, and UC7)
Set OPENCLAW_PUBLIC_URL=https://your-openclaw-host.example.com in your env
and see references/report-server.md.
Use Case Routing

Token Lifecycle
Shopify access tokens expire after 24 hours. Request a fresh token at the
start of each workflow run — never reuse a token across days. See
references/auth.md for the token helper.
Common Errors
| Error | Cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
401 Unauthorized | Wrong client ID or secret | Check env vars against Shopify Dev Dashboard |
403 Forbidden | Missing API scope | Add scope in Dev Dashboard, reinstall app |
404 on /reports/ | Report route not registered | See references/report-server.md |
Token expired | Token older than 24h | Request a new token — see references/auth.md |
| Empty product list | Wrong store domain | Confirm SHOPIFY_STORE_DOMAIN in your env |
