Shopify

Connect a Shopify store to Jet Admin through the Admin API to build order, fulfilment and customer tools on your store data.

Connect Shopify through a REST API resource using the Shopify Admin API. Shopify doesn't have a native integration yet. Setup takes a few more steps than the other sources, and you can access every Admin API object.

Grant read-only scopes unless your app needs to write. A Shopify Admin API token with write scopes can modify orders and inventory.

What you get

You can access the objects you enable in the Admin API, including:

• Products, Variants, Inventory

• Orders, Fulfilments, Transactions

• Customers

• Discounts, Price rules

The REST resource uses a direct connection. It won't appear in data blending until a native Shopify integration ships.

Before you start

• Permission to create a custom app in your Shopify admin

• The current stable Admin API version from Shopify's own documentation

Connect Shopify

1

Create a custom app in Shopify

In your Shopify admin, go to Settings → Apps and sales channels → Develop apps → Create an app. Name it something recognisable, like Jet Admin.

2

Configure Admin API scopes

Under Configuration → Admin API integration, enable only what you need:

read_products      read_orders       read_customers
read_inventory     read_fulfillments read_discounts

3

Install the app and copy the token

Click Install app, then reveal and copy the Admin API access token. It starts with shpat_ and is shown only once. Store it before leaving the page.

4

Add a REST API resource in Jet Admin

Open Data → Add Resource → REST API and configure:

• Resource name: Shopify

• Base URL: https://your-store.myshopify.com/admin/api/<version>/

Use the current stable API version.

5

Add the token as a global header

Shopify requires its own access-token header instead of Bearer auth. Add a global header on the resource so every request carries it:

X-Shopify-Access-Token: shpat_your_token_here

6

Build your first request

In the Data Editor, create a GET request to orders.json?status=any&limit=50. Or paste Shopify's API reference into Ask AI and describe what you need. Ask AI will generate the request, handle pagination, and shape the response.

The Admin API uses Link headers for pagination and applies rate limits per store. Configure pagination on the request so tables past the first 50 rows load correctly.

Troubleshooting

Shopify returns 401. The token is in the wrong header. Shopify needs X-Shopify-Access-Token, not Authorization: Bearer. Check the global header on the resource.

Shopify returns 403 on some endpoints. The custom app is missing that scope. Add it under Configuration → Admin API integration, then reinstall the app.

Only 50 rows load. Pagination isn't configured. The Admin API uses Link-header cursors. Set pagination on the request.

Requests fail intermittently under load. You're hitting Shopify's per-store rate limit. Reduce page size or add caching on the request.
