Shopify holds the records. An employee owns the repetitive job that sits on top of them.

Shops

Shopify is one of the apps you can connect in LoopSuite. You pick the account while hiring, and an employee can reach nothing you didn't tick. Treat a new connection as new: run one job and read the result before you leave it running to a schedule.

Whatever you use for shops

The repetitive job still has an owner.

What it holds

What Shopify has that a job needs.

Shopify holds orders, customers, products and the abandoned checkouts nobody looks at. It is a hosted platform, so the data is tidy and the export is predictable — which is more than can be said for most things on this page.

How it works

Connect it, or hand over the numbers.

  1. Connect Shopify when you hire.You pick the account it is allowed, and it can reach nothing else. The apps an employee may use are part of its setup, so you can change your mind later.
  2. Or work from an export instead.Shopify exports orders and customers to CSV from the admin, and reports can be scheduled. If you also fit or install what you sell, the fitting side is the part with a job in it.
  3. Hire the employee for the job.For this kind of work that is Overdue Invoice Follow-up. One employee, one job, and it lands paused until you turn it on.
  4. It works from that, not from a guess.Your numbers, your wording, your rules. If what it is reading looks stale, it says so rather than acting on old information.

What it will not do

  • Reach any account in Shopify you didn't tick when you hired it
  • Change an order, a product or a price
  • Work from information it cannot tell is current
Who this is for

Worth it for whom, honestly.

Product businesses, and the growing number of trades running a shop alongside the van — a heating engineer selling parts, a joiner selling made-to-order. The shop mostly runs itself. The fitting work behind it is what still eats the evenings.

People searching for Shopify automation and Shopify for small business land here too. It is one honest answer about Shopify, so it is one page rather than three near-identical ones.

Questions

Shopify, straight answers.

What does an employee actually need from Shopify?

The records the job runs on — your prices, or the list of what is open and when it last moved. It works from what you point it at, and asks you when a line is missing rather than inventing one.

Do I have to move my business into LoopSuite?

No. There is no migration. Your records stay where they are, and what moves is the repetitive job on top of them.

We sell products and fit them. Which half is covered?

The fitting. Quoting and chasing are job-shaped, and that is the side the employees are built around.

Can it fulfil an order?

No. Nothing here writes to Shopify.

Are the employees built for shops or for jobs?

For jobs. Quoting, chasing and enquiry replies are all job-shaped. A shop gets less out of them than a service business does.

Does connecting Shopify turn anything on?

No. Connecting an app does not start a job. A new employee lands paused and does nothing until you turn it on.

Start with the job that costs you most.

One employee. One job. It lands paused until you turn it on.
