Can every Shopify store connect?

Only a store that already has a custom app made in its Shopify admin. Shopify no longer lets stores create those apps, and the apps made in its Dev Dashboard give tokens that last 24 hours, which are not supported yet.

Which changes wait for approval?

All of them: changing an order’s note or tags, adjusting stock, cancelling an order and refunding each wait for your approval by default. A cancelled order cannot be reopened, and cancelling does not refund a captured payment by itself: that is a separate refund.

Why do I only see recent orders?

Shopify shows an app the orders of the last 60 days unless it has the read_all_orders scope. Give the custom app that scope to reach older orders.

Which AI assistants can use Shopify through Flowplane?

Claude, Claude Code, ChatGPT, Cursor, Codex, GitHub Copilot and Mistral Le Chat, and any other client that supports remote MCP servers with sign-in. They all reach Shopify through the same Flowplane address.

Free for one person, with up to three apps and five assistants. Personal Pro is €9 a month including VAT; companies start at €99 a month for ten active users. Prices are indicative; see the pricing page.

Customers and sales

Shopify MCP server

Shopify runs the online store of many small brands and retailers. Through Flowplane an AI assistant can find and open orders, products and customers, and see stock per location. It can change an order’s note and tags, adjust stock, cancel an order and refund a customer, and each of those changes waits for your approval by default.

What your assistant can do in Shopify

9 tools that read and 4 that change something in Shopify. Reads are allowed; a change marked “asks first” waits for the person’s approval by default, and your workspace’s rules decide the rest.

How it connects

Sign-in

Shopify’s Admin API works here with the access token of a custom app made in your store’s admin, not a personal login. The app’s scopes decide what the assistant can read and change, and the token is pasted into Flowplane once for the store. Flowplane keeps it sealed; the assistant never sees it.

In Flowplane: In the Flowplane console, add Shopify, type your store name (the part before .myshopify.com) and paste the custom app’s Admin API access token (shpat_…).

MCP

Shopify and MCP

Shopify runs MCP servers of its own, but for developers (documentation and API schemas) and for shopping agents that act for buyers (catalogue, cart, checkout, order status), not for running a store’s admin. Flowplane talks to Shopify’s Admin API directly, with its own tools and approvals.
