Overview

Zapier Integration is connecting Shopify to thousands of other apps via Zapier — a no-code automation platform. Zapier 'Zaps' trigger actions in one app when something happens in another — like adding a Shopify customer to a Google Sheet or sending a Slack message on a new order.

Zapier automates without code. Want Shopify orders in a Google Sheet? A Slack alert on new orders? An email when inventory drops? Zapier does it — no developer needed. It's the easiest way to connect Shopify to the apps you use, without custom integration.

Zapier integration pairs with integrations (the broader concept), webhooks (how it triggers), and third-party apps (related). It's an automation and integration tool.
