Shopify Store Api

The problem

Managing store data through the Shopify admin dashboard is slow for bulk updates or quick status checks. Developers often need to script inventory adjustments, order exports, or customer tagging without the overhead of heavy SDKs.

What it does

• Lists and filters products by title, vendor, or status.
• Adjusts inventory levels across specific location IDs using delta or absolute values.
• Retrieves recent order histories with financial status and customer details.
• Updates customer records, including metadata like tags and contact info.
• Handles raw JSON payloads and response parsing via curl and jq.

Frameworks & tools

Shopify Admin REST API, curl, and jq. No external libraries or SDKs required.

Why this beats prompting it yourself

This skill provides the exact endpoint structures, inventory location logic, and custom header requirements needed for the Admin API. It eliminates the trial and error of finding specific JSON keys like inventory_item_id or managing the non-standard X-Shopify-Access-Token header.

Use cases

• Update stock levels for specific SKUs after a warehouse count.
• Generate a text-based summary of the last 25 orders for a daily report.
• Tag high-value customers based on their order history.
• Audit product statuses and pricing across the entire catalog.

Known limitations

Requires a Shopify Custom App with specific API scopes. Does not support Storefront API or theme liquid editing.
