Shopify (GraphQL)

This connector captures data from Shopify's GraphQL Admin API into Estuary collections.

It is available for use in the Estuary web application. For local development or open-source workflows, ghcr.io/estuary/source-shopify-native:dev provides the latest version of the connector as a Docker image. You can also follow the link in your browser to see past image versions.

Supported data resources

The following data resources are supported through the Shopify API:

• Abandoned Checkouts
• Custom Collections
  • Custom Collection Metafields
• Customers
  • Customer Metafields
• Fulfillment Orders
• Fulfillments
• Inventory Items
  • Inventory Levels
• Locations
  • Location Metafields
• Orders
  • Order Agreements
  • Order Metafields
  • Order Refunds
  • Order Risks
  • Order Transactions
• Product Variants
• Products
  • Product Media
  • Product Metafields
• Smart Collections
  • Smart Collection Metafields
• Subscription Contracts

By default, each resource is mapped to an Estuary collection through a separate binding.

Prerequisites

• Store ID of your Shopify account. This is the prefix of your admin URL. For example, https://{store_id}.myshopify.com/admin

You can authenticate your account either via OAuth or with a Shopify access token.

Access Token Permissions

If authenticating with an access token, ensure the following permissions are granted:

• read_assigned_fulfillment_orders
• read_checkouts
• read_customers
• read_fulfillments
• read_inventory
• read_locales
• read_locations
• read_marketing_events
• read_marketplace_fulfillment_orders
• read_merchant_managed_fulfillment_orders
• read_orders
• read_payment_terms
• read_products
• read_publications
• read_own_subscription_contracts

Bulk Query Operation Limitations

This connector submits and processes the results of bulk query operations to capture data. As of API version 2026-01, Shopify supports up to 5 concurrent bulk query operations. The connector takes advantage of this to run multiple bulk queries in parallel for improved performance.

Configuration

You configure connectors either in the Estuary web app, or by directly editing the catalog specification file. See connectors to learn more about using connectors. The values and specification sample below provide configuration details specific to the Shopify source connector.

Sample

  ${PREFIX}/${CAPTURE_NAME}:
    endpoint:
      connector:

        config:

            store: <store ID>
    bindings:
      - resource:
          name: products
        target: ${PREFIX}/products

Limitations with Custom App Access Tokens

If you authenticate using an access token from a custom app on a Shopify plan below the Grow tier, the following streams will not be discovered:

• customers
• fulfillment_orders
• orders

This is due to Shopify API restrictions for lower-tier plans.
