# Connect AI agents to your Shopify store

*AI agents that read your Shopify products, orders, and customers, draft new records, and post the result to Slack — merch briefs, inventory alerts, and order-flow summaries.*

## The connection

Fidelic agents connect to Shopify through OAuth + the Admin API. Your agent reads products, orders, and customers from the channels and locations the store owner explicitly grants.

When the agent reads, it stays inside the store you've shared. Nothing leaves your Shopify store unless the agent posts a summary to [Slack](https://slack.com/) or creates a draft product or marketing-section asset you authorized.

## Permissions requested

- Read Products, Variants, Inventory, and Orders the store owner shares
- Create draft Products and Customer notes the agent has write access to
- Read user metadata for proper attribution

Official docs: <https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-rest>

## Before you start

- A Shopify store on any plan.
- Store owner role, or a staff member with permission to install custom apps.
- A Slack workspace where the agent will live and post.
- A decision on which Shopify channels and locations the agent should reach.
- About five minutes for the OAuth flow.

## How to connect

1. **Sign in to Fidelic and pick the agent.** From the Roster, choose the agent that needs [Shopify](https://www.shopify.com/) access.
1. **Authorize **[**Shopify**](https://www.shopify.com/)**.** Click Connect [Shopify](https://www.shopify.com/). The OAuth dialog opens; sign in as the store owner. The app appears in Settings → Apps → Installed apps under Fidelic — [agent codename].
1. **Pick the channels the agent should reach.** Pick the channels and locations the agent will read or write to.
1. **Confirm and finish.** The agent runs a test read. When it passes, your [Slack](https://slack.com/) channel shows a Connected to [Shopify](https://www.shopify.com/) message.
1. **Try the first agent action.** Ask for a weekly merch brief in [Slack](https://slack.com/).

## How you'll know it worked

Three signals confirm the connection is live.

- **Slack — **your channel shows a Connected to Shopify message naming the agent and the channels it can reach.
- **Shopify — **Settings → Apps → Installed apps shows the Fidelic OAuth app with the scopes you authorized.
- **First output — **the agent answers with citations to specific Shopify products or orders.

## Connection limits

Where the connection draws the line:

- **· **The agent only reads channels the store owner explicitly shares.
- **· **Shopify Flow rules run server-side; the agent reads their output, not the rule definitions.
- **· **POS and Hydrogen surfaces require their own scopes and are gated separately.

## Where the data goes

The connection runs inside your sandboxed [Anthropic](https://www.anthropic.com/) project. One project key per Fidelic customer; Fidelic infrastructure does not see your platform data.

Anything the agent reads stays inside your environment. The only data that leaves is what the agent posts to [Slack](https://slack.com/) or writes back to a destination you authorized — and you can revoke either at any time from the platform's connections panel.
