shopify-order-management_skill

Overview

This skill automates the full Shopify order lifecycle using n8n workflows to capture new orders, sync statuses, monitor inventory, recover abandoned carts, and deliver daily sales reports. It logs orders to Google Sheets, sends admin notifications via SMTP, and integrates with the Shopify Admin API for real-time updates. The package includes five production-ready workflows that require only credential and environment configuration to run.

How this skill works

A Shopify orders/create webhook feeds new orders into Workflow 01 where orders are parsed and appended to a Google Sheet and an admin email is sent. Scheduled workflows poll Shopify to sync fulfillment and payment status, scan inventory against a low-stock threshold, fetch abandoned checkouts and trigger recovery emails, and generate a daily sales report with revenue, AOV, fulfillment stats, and top products. All workflows use n8n credentials for Google Sheets and SMTP and the Shopify Admin API token for secure access.

When to use it

• You need centralized order logging without manual Shopify dashboard checks
• You want automated low-stock alerts before products sell out
• You want to recover abandoned carts with automated emails
• You require periodic synchronization of fulfillment and payment status
• You want a daily consolidated sales and fulfillment report emailed to operations

Best practices

• Run n8n self-hosted v2.4+ and secure credentials with environment variables
• Create and lock a Google Sheet with the provided Orders schema (tab named 'Orders')
• Configure a Shopify custom app with read_orders, read_products, read_checkouts scopes
• Set LOW_STOCK_THRESHOLD and admin email as environment variables for easy tuning
• Test webhook delivery and SMTP settings in a staging store before production
