How to Connect Make.com with Shopify

Shopify is a leading e-commerce platform that allows business owners to create an online store easily. Make.com, formerly known as Integromat, is a powerful automation tool that enables you to connect your Shopify store to various services and automate workflows. If you're looking to enhance the efficiency of your Shopify store, connecting it to Make.com is an essential step. Here's how to do it:

Step 1: Create a Make.com Account

First, sign up for a Make.com account if you don't already have one. Visit the Make.com website and complete the registration process. Once your account is set up, you're ready to connect it to your Shopify store.

Step 2: Access Make.com Dashboard

Log into your Make.com account and navigate to the Dashboard. Here, you’ll have an overview of all the possible integrations and automations you can create.

Step 3: Search for Shopify

On the Dashboard, search for the Shopify app in the 'Services' section or use the search bar. Click on the Shopify icon once you find it.

Step 4: Create a New Scenario

A scenario on Make.com represents an automated workflow. Click on the 'Create a new scenario' button. A new window will open, prompting you to choose the services you want to integrate. Select Shopify.

Step 5: Connect Your Shopify Store

After choosing Shopify, you'll need to establish a connection with your store. Click on ‘Add’ next to the Connection field. A pop-up will appear where you can name the connection and then click 'Continue'. You'll be redirected to Shopify's login page where you need to enter your store’s details and approve the connection.

Step 6: Set Up Triggers and Actions

With the connection established, you can now set up triggers (events that start the automation) and actions (what happens after the trigger). For instance, you might want to set up a trigger for when a new order is created and an action to send an email notification to your supplier. Configure the triggers and actions as needed for your specific workflow.

Step 7: Test Your Scenario

Before putting your new automation into action, it’s important to test it to make sure it works as intended. Make.com provides a 'Run once' button to test scenarios. Check the outcome and ensure the desired result is achieved.

Step 8: Activate Your Scenario

If the test is successful, you can activate the scenario. Just toggle the switch to 'ON', and your automation will be live. Make.com will now handle the task you've automated, allowing you to focus on other aspects of your business.

Step 9: Monitor Your Scenarios

Finally, keep an eye on your scenarios to ensure they continue to work smoothly. You can monitor their performance and history in your dashboard and make adjustments as necessary.

By linking Make.com with Shopify, you can significantly improve the efficiency of your online business, automate repetitive tasks, and ensure that your workflows are seamless.
