Shopify GitHub

Keep Shopify and GitHub updated automatically.

Today you check the Shopify admin for new orders and carry them over into the other system by hand. Refunds and partial cancellations only surface once something no longer adds up. This connector fixes that, and we build it on request: what happens in Shopify lands in GitHub by itself, in the shape GitHub expects. Tell us what you need and we agree exactly what should travel.

The problem

What this connector takes off your hands

  • Today you check the Shopify admin for new orders and carry them over into the other system by hand. Refunds and partial cancellations only surface once something no longer adds up.

  • Today you create the task or the row yourself, or you just remember it and that fails eventually.

What you get out of it

What Shopify to GitHub saves you

  • Turn every new Shopify order into a GitHub task automatically.
  • Turn every refund in Shopify into a GitHub task automatically.
  • Turn every new Shopify customer into a GitHub task automatically.
  • Turn every stock change in Shopify into a GitHub task automatically.
The link

What travels across the link

Everything this connector moves between Shopify and GitHub, and how often.

  1. Tasks

    to GitHub automatically

    This lands in GitHub as a task in the list or project you choose, so follow-up does not depend on someone remembering.

  2. Rows

    to GitHub automatically

    This arrives in GitHub as a new row, so your overview stays complete without you retyping anything.

Both sides

What each side expects

Shopify and GitHub do not describe the world the same way. This is what has to line up.

Shopify

Shopify thinks in orders with line items, a variant per line and a separate customer. Discounts, shipping and VAT sit as their own entries on the order rather than folded into the price.

GitHub

A task list or table wants to know where something belongs, and only stays usable with a fixed layout.

In four steps

Setting it up

  1. 01

    Request the connector

    Let us know you want to link Shopify to GitHub. We get in touch within 24 hours with a timeline.

  2. 02

    We agree what should travel

    Together we settle what should travel out of Shopify. A task list or table wants to know where something belongs, and only stays usable with a fixed layout.

  3. 03

    We build and test

    You see the connector run on a few test records before anything becomes final.

What you need

  • A Shopify store you own or where you may install apps. The connector runs as an app inside your admin, so you sign in through Shopify and need no separate account.
  • An account with edit rights, and the list or project it should land in.

Where it runs

Inside your Shopify admin, as an app. You sign in through Shopify, no separate account.

We build this connector on request. Tell us what you need and we reply within 24 hours.

Common questions

Can you connect Shopify to GitHub?

Yes. Schakel connects through the official APIs of Shopify and GitHub, so you install nothing on your own server and nothing travels outside those two parties.

Which GitHub project or list do the tasks land in?

The project or list you choose. That keeps everything in one place rather than scattered, and follow-up does not depend on someone remembering.

Can I decide what goes into the GitHub task or row?

Yes. When setting it up you pick which details from Shopify come along, so a task or row in GitHub has just enough context.

What happens on a refund or partial cancellation in Shopify?

It comes across, so GitHub matches what was actually settled and you correct nothing by hand.

What does connecting Shopify and GitHub cost?

You start free and only pay once the connector is really running. After that the same tiers apply as for any other connector, based on how much runs through it each month.

How often does Shopify sync with GitHub?

That depends on your tier: hourly on the free tier up to real time on the unlimited tier. You can always start a sync yourself as well.

What if Shopify or GitHub is briefly unavailable?

Nothing gets lost. Schakel retries later and the log shows exactly what happened, so at most you notice something coming through a little later.

How do I connect Shopify to GitHub?

You give Schakel access to Shopify and GitHub once and pick what should travel. We set it up together with you, so no technical knowledge is needed, and after that it runs by itself.

Missing something you need?

Tell us what Shopify and GitHub should do for you. If it is not in here yet, that is usually because nobody has asked. We build on request and we reply within 24 hours.
