01
Map the workflow
Define triggers, records, owners, exceptions, and the consequence of a mistake.
Custom integration scope
Designed around your workflow and permissions
Connect Shopify to the workflows around it
Coordinate products, orders, customers, inventory, and fulfilment events.
Typical objects
The records a scoped build may use
- Products and variants
- Customers and orders
- Inventory and fulfilments
- Returns, discounts, and webhooks
Workflow examples
Practical patterns to evaluate
These are design examples, not claimed customer deployments or results.
- 01
Route order, stock, address, or fulfilment exceptions.
- 02
Synchronize permitted customer and order context with support or CRM.
- 03
Return approved operational updates to the commerce workflow.
Delivery sequence
Integration work starts with the operating process
02
Confirm access
Check the platform edition, APIs, authentication, scopes, limits, and data policy.
03
Build and test
Implement narrow actions and verify normal, failure, retry, and approval paths.
04
Operate deliberately
Document ownership, logs, escalation, stop controls, and the change process.
Platform consideration
Admin API scopes, GraphQL cost limits, webhooks, customer privacy, inventory ownership, and protected data requirements matter.
Scope before promise
Platform editions, API access, permissions, rate limits, vendor policies, security requirements, and data residency can change what is feasible. CombineApps confirms scope before implementation.
Bring one real workflow
Define what Shopify should read, change, and leave for a person
We can map the systems, authority, exception paths, and test cases before deciding how the integration should be built.
