Shopify Webhooks
Overview
Shopify webhooks deliver real-time event notifications to your app's HTTP endpoints when store events occur — orders placed, products updated, customers created, apps uninstalled. Every webhook payload includes an HMAC-SHA256 signature in the X-Shopify-Hmac-SHA256 header that must be verified before processing. Shopify guarantees at-least-once delivery, so handlers must be idempotent.
When to Use This Skill
- When triggering fulfillment workflows the moment an order is paid
- When syncing product or inventory changes to an external system in near real time
- When sending customer data to a marketing automation platform upon registration
- When cleaning up app data after a merchant uninstalls the app (
app/uninstalled) - When implementing required GDPR webhooks for App Store compliance
- When replacing polling loops that constantly query the Admin API for changes
Core Instructions
- Register webhooks via the Admin API
