Tools
Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| list_productsA | List products in the store with cursor-based pagination. Returns each product's title, status (ACTIVE/DRAFT/ARCHIVED), GID, and total inventory across all variants/locations. Supports Shopify's product query syntax for filtering by status, vendor, type, tag, title (wildcard), and date ranges. The last line of output shows the next cursor when more pages exist — pass it as |
| get_productA | Fetch a single product's full record by GID or numeric ID. Returns header fields (title, handle, status, vendor, productType, description, tags), inventory totals, the first 10 images and 10 media items, and the first 20 variants with their prices, SKUs, inventory quantities, and inventoryItem GIDs. Returned as JSON for downstream tooling. The variant inventoryItem GIDs are needed by set_inventory_quantity. For more than 20 variants, follow up with list_variants. |
| create_productA | Create a new product. The product is created first, then any image_urls (publicly fetchable) are attached as a follow-up call — Shopify pulls each URL and hosts the image on its CDN. The default |
| update_productA | Update an existing product's core fields — title, description (HTML), vendor, productType, tags, or status. Only provide fields you want changed; omitted fields are left untouched. Setting status=ARCHIVED hides the product from the storefront but preserves order history. To change variants, prices, or inventory use create_variants/update_variants and set_inventory_quantity. To change images use upload_product_image (or one of the bridge tools to generate new ones). |
| upload_product_imageA | Attach an image to an existing product by URL. Shopify fetches the URL server-side and hosts the file on its CDN — the URL must be publicly reachable from Shopify's network. Multiple calls add multiple images; this tool does not replace existing images. Use the bridge tools (generate_product_image, refine_product_image) instead when you want the image generated by ComfyUI rather than provided as a URL. |
| list_ordersA | List orders in the store, newest first by creation date. Returns each order's name (e.g. '#1042'), total price (in shop currency), financial status (paid/pending/refunded), fulfillment status (fulfilled/unfulfilled/partial), and timestamp. Supports Shopify's order query syntax for filtering by status, date range, customer, tags, and more. Cursor-paginated; the last line shows the next cursor when more pages exist. Use this to find order GIDs before calling get_order or list_fulfillment_orders. |
| get_orderA | Fetch a single order's full record by GID or numeric ID — includes header fields (email, totals, both status flags, timestamps), full line items (title + quantity), and the customer email if on file. Returned as JSON for downstream tooling. Use list_orders to discover order IDs first. To inspect or act on shipments for this order, follow up with list_fulfillment_orders. |
| create_orderA | Create a real Shopify order directly, bypassing the draft-order flow. Each line item is either a variant reference (variantId + quantity) or a custom item (title + priceSet + quantity). Use when you need to import historical orders, record a phone/in-person sale, or create an order without involving Shopify's checkout pricing engine. For interactive carts where Shopify should compute taxes/shipping/discounts, use create_draft_order then complete_draft_order instead. Defaults: PENDING financial status, customer not notified, inventory decremented respecting each variant's oversell policy. |
| update_orderA | Update an existing order's metadata: email, tags, internal note, or custom attributes. Most order fields are immutable post-creation in Shopify (line items, totals, customer-of-record can't be changed via the Admin API after the fact) — for those, use refund_order or cancel_order to back out, then create a corrected order. Tags and customAttributes are full replacements: read the current values first if you want to merge rather than replace. Use when fixing a typo'd email, adding a fulfillment-team note, or attaching internal segmentation tags. |
| cancel_orderA | Cancel a Shopify order. Triggers an async job (the response includes a jobId; cancellation finishes shortly after the call returns). Combine with |
| refund_orderA | Issue a refund against an order — for specific line items (with quantities and optional restock behaviour), for shipping, or both. Returns the new refund's GID and total amount refunded. To refund a full order use cancel_order with refund=true instead (one-step). Use this tool when refunding partially: just one item, just shipping, an adjustment without item breakdown, or a return that needs explicit restock-to-location handling. The |
| set_inventory_quantityA | Set the absolute available inventory for one variant at one location. This is a direct overwrite, not an adjustment — passing 5 sets the count to 5 regardless of what was there before. The pair (inventory_item_id, location_id) uniquely identifies the inventory level: get inventory_item_id from get_product (it's on each variant) and location_id from list_locations. Records a Shopify inventory adjustment with the reason code you provide. Use 'correction' for cycle counts/manual fixes, 'received' when receiving stock, 'cycle_count_available' for systematic counts. Tracks history; the audit log shows who/when via the API user. |
| list_locationsA | List the store's locations — physical or virtual places where inventory is stocked or fulfilled from (warehouses, retail stores, drop-ship partners). Returns each location's name, active/inactive flag, city + country, and GID. The location GID is required by set_inventory_quantity and create_fulfillment. Inactive locations still exist but cannot accept new inventory or fulfillments. |
| list_customersA | List customers in the store, newest first by creation date. Returns each customer's display name, email, lifetime order count, and total amount spent (in shop currency). Supports Shopify's customer query syntax for filtering by email, tag, order count, spend, marketing-consent, account state, and more. Cursor-paginated; pass |
| create_customerA | Create a new customer record. At minimum, supply email or phone (one is required for the customer to be reachable; both is fine). Email and phone must each be unique across the store — duplicates trigger validation errors. Optionally seed addresses (the first becomes the default shipping address), apply tags for segmentation, and set email-marketing consent. Default consent is NOT_SUBSCRIBED — only set SUBSCRIBED when you have documented opt-in (legal requirement in many jurisdictions). Returns the new customer's GID for use as customerId in create_order, create_draft_order, etc. |
| update_customerA | Update an existing customer's profile fields — email, name, phone, tags, internal note. Only provide fields you want changed; omitted fields stay as-is. Tags is a full replacement (use add_tags / remove_tags for additive/subtractive changes). Email and phone changes still need to satisfy the per-store uniqueness constraint. To change addresses, use Shopify's address-specific mutations (not yet exposed by this server). To change marketing consent, the dedicated customerEmailMarketingConsentUpdate mutation is preferred. |
| set_metafieldA | Create or update (upsert) a single metafield on any supported Shopify resource — product, variant, collection, customer, order, draft order, shop, or shop policies. The (ownerId, namespace, key) triple is the unique identifier; calling this tool with an existing triple replaces the value, otherwise creates a new metafield. The |
| list_metafieldsA | List metafields attached to a single Shopify resource. Returns each metafield's namespace.key, type, current value, and optional description. Pass a |
| delete_metafieldA | Permanently delete a single metafield by (ownerId, namespace, key). Irreversible — the value is gone after this call. Use list_metafields first to confirm the namespace and key, since typos result in a no-op rather than an error. Other metafields on the same resource are unaffected. To delete every metafield on a resource, you'd need a list+loop pattern; this tool only deletes one at a time. |
| list_draft_ordersA | List draft orders (carts/quotes that haven't yet been completed into real orders), most recently updated first. Returns each draft's name (e.g. 'D1023'), status (OPEN/COMPLETED/INVOICE_SENT), total price, customer name, and whether it's already been converted to an order. Supports Shopify's draft-order query syntax for filtering by status, customer, tag, or update time. Cursor-paginated. |
| get_draft_orderA | Fetch a single draft order with full details: status, customer, line items (with quantity, title, and unit price), invoice URL, and the resulting real order if it's already been completed. Use to inspect a draft before calling update_draft_order or complete_draft_order. Returns a friendly text summary. |
| create_draft_orderA | Create a new draft order — Shopify's term for an editable cart/quote not yet placed as an order. Each line item is EITHER a variant reference (variantId + quantity) for catalog products, OR a custom item (title + originalUnitPrice + quantity) for one-off charges or services not in the catalog. Optionally attach a customer, email, internal note, tags, and choose whether to copy the customer's default address. Returns the new draft's GID and an invoice URL the customer can use to pay. Drafts stay OPEN until you call complete_draft_order or send the invoice. |
| update_draft_orderA | Modify an existing OPEN draft order's customer, email, note, tags, or line items. Important: if |
| complete_draft_orderA | Convert an OPEN draft order into a real Shopify order. With paymentPending=false (default), Shopify attempts to capture payment immediately; the call fails if no payment method is on file. With paymentPending=true, the order is created in payment-pending status — useful when collecting payment offline (cash, bank transfer, manual processing). Once completed, the draft transitions to COMPLETED and the new order's GID is returned. The transition is one-way: completed drafts cannot be re-opened or edited via draft tools (use the order tools, or refund/cancel for the resulting order). |
| delete_draft_orderA | Permanently delete a draft order. Only OPEN/INVOICE_SENT drafts can be deleted — completed drafts are real orders and orders cannot be deleted (cancel them instead). Irreversible. Returns the deleted GID, or a no-op message if the GID didn't match anything. |
| list_collectionsA | List collections in the store, most recently updated first. Returns each collection's title, handle, ID, and product count. Supports Shopify's collection query syntax for filtering by title, type, or update time. Cursor-paginated; pass |
| get_collectionA | Fetch a single collection by GID with full details — title, handle, sort order, description, and the first N products inside it. Pass productsFirst=0 for metadata-only when you don't need the products array. Returns a friendly text view; pageInfo flags when more products exist beyond the requested page. |
| create_collectionA | Create a new manual collection (rule-based 'smart' collections aren't supported here — use the Shopify admin for those). Title is required; description, handle, and an initial product list are optional. Returns the new collection's GID, which you'll need for subsequent add_products_to_collection or update_collection calls. Side effect: collection becomes immediately visible in the storefront unless you've configured publication channels separately. |
| update_collectionA | Update an existing collection's title, description (HTML), or URL handle. Only provide fields you want to change; omitted fields are left untouched. Changing the handle changes the storefront URL — Shopify does NOT create automatic redirects from the old slug, so existing links break. To change collection membership use add_products_to_collection / remove_products_from_collection instead. |
| delete_collectionA | Permanently delete a collection. Products inside it are NOT deleted — only the grouping is removed; products keep all their other associations (other collections, tags, inventory). Irreversible. Confirm the collection ID with get_collection before calling. Returns the deleted collection ID, or a 'nothing deleted' message if the GID didn't match anything. |
| add_products_to_collectionA | Add one or more products to a manual collection. Runs as an async background job on Shopify's side — the response includes a job ID and |
| remove_products_from_collectionA | Remove one or more products from a manual collection. Like add_products_to_collection, this runs as an async job for larger batches — the response includes job ID and |
| add_tagsA | Add tags to any taggable Shopify resource — Product, Order, Customer, DraftOrder, Collection, Article, Blog. Tags are stored as a unique set per resource; adding a tag that already exists is a no-op. Useful for ad-hoc segmentation, marketing campaigns, or driving smart collection membership rules. Pair with remove_tags to fully manage taxonomy. |
| remove_tagsA | Remove tags from any taggable Shopify resource (Product, Order, Customer, DraftOrder, Collection, Article, Blog). Tags not currently on the resource are silently ignored. To replace the full tag set rather than remove specific ones, use update_product/update_customer/etc. with the new tag list. |
| list_variantsA | List all variants of a single product, plus the product's option definitions (Size, Color, etc.) and possible values. For each variant returns: title, GID, price, compareAtPrice, SKU, barcode, current inventory quantity, taxable flag, inventory policy, and the option-value combination that produced it. Use to inspect a product's full SKU matrix before calling create_variants/update_variants/delete_variants. |
| create_variantsA | Create one or more variants on an existing product. Each variant's optionValues must cover EVERY option declared on the product (Size + Color + Material if there are 3 options) — partial coverage is rejected. New products from create_product start with a single hidden 'Default Title' variant; when adding the first real variants, pass strategy='REMOVE_STANDALONE_VARIANT' so Shopify replaces the placeholder rather than leaving it. inventoryQuantities seeds initial stock per location at create time; for ongoing changes use set_inventory_quantity instead. |
| update_variantsA | Update one or more existing variants in a single call. Editable fields: price, compareAtPrice (set to null to clear), SKU, barcode, taxable, inventoryPolicy (DENY blocks oversells, CONTINUE allows backorders), and optionValues (e.g. rename a size). Per-variant only; only the fields you provide are written. For inventory quantity changes use set_inventory_quantity — this tool deliberately doesn't accept quantities to keep that audit trail in one place. |
| delete_variantsA | Permanently delete one or more variants from a product. Irreversible. Each product must keep at least one variant — Shopify rejects requests that would empty the product (delete the whole product via update_product status:ARCHIVED, or use the admin UI for full deletion). Variants in completed orders are kept-but-hidden by Shopify automatically; the historical record on the order is preserved. |
| reorder_variantsA | Set the display order of variants on a product. Positions are 1-indexed and must be unique across all variants in the product (you can't have two variants both at position 2). Affects the order variants appear on the product page and in Shopify admin. Only provide the variants whose positions are changing — others stay where they are. |
| add_product_optionsA | Add new options (like Size, Color, Material) to an existing product, along with their initial possible values. Shopify caps products at 3 options total — passing more is rejected. Adding an option creates new option-values that existing variants must be assigned to (Shopify auto-assigns the first value if not specified). After adding, use create_variants to add SKUs across the new option-value combinations. Cannot remove options via this tool — that requires re-creating the product. |
| list_fulfillment_ordersA | List the fulfillment orders attached to a Shopify order. A fulfillment order groups line items by the location that will ship them — a single order can have multiple fulfillment orders if items split across warehouses. Each one tracks per-line remaining quantity (totalQuantity minus what's already shipped/cancelled). Returns the assigned location, destination address, and line-item progress for each. This is the primary read tool you'll call before create_fulfillment to figure out which fulfillmentOrderLineItem IDs and quantities to mark as shipped. |
| get_fulfillment_orderA | Fetch a single fulfillment order by GID with its full line-item set and remaining quantities. Use this when you have the FulfillmentOrder ID directly (e.g. from a webhook payload) and want detail without having to look up its parent order first. Returns the same shape as list_fulfillment_orders for one record. |
| get_fulfillmentA | Fetch a single fulfillment (a shipment record produced by create_fulfillment) by GID. Returns its status (SUCCESS/CANCELLED/etc.), tracking entries (carrier, number, URL), the parent order, and timestamps. Use after create_fulfillment to confirm the shipment took, or when a webhook delivers a fulfillment GID and you need the details. |
| create_fulfillmentA | Mark items as shipped — creates a fulfillment record covering one or more fulfillment orders. For each fulfillment order in the request, you can either fulfill everything still remaining (omit |
| update_fulfillment_trackingA | Update or add tracking info on an existing fulfillment after the fact. Use this when you've already called create_fulfillment but didn't have the carrier/tracking number yet, or when a tracking number was wrong and needs fixing. company+number is enough; Shopify auto-derives the URL for known carriers (USPS, UPS, FedEx, DHL, etc.). Set notifyCustomer=true to re-send the shipping email with the updated tracking. Omitted fields are left unchanged. |
| cancel_fulfillmentA | Cancel an existing fulfillment — use when an item that was marked shipped won't actually ship (lost in warehouse, address bounced, customer cancelled). Restores remaining quantity on the underlying fulfillment order so the items can be re-fulfilled later. Does NOT issue a refund — combine with order-level refund tools if money needs to come back to the customer. Returns the new fulfillment status (typically CANCELLED). |
| list_webhooksA | List webhook subscriptions on the store. Each subscription wires a Shopify event topic (ORDERS_CREATE, PRODUCTS_UPDATE, INVENTORY_LEVELS_UPDATE, etc.) to a delivery target — typically an HTTPS callback URL, but Pub/Sub and EventBridge are also supported. Returns each subscription's topic, delivery format (JSON/XML), endpoint, API version, and any field/metafield filters applied. Filter by topic to scope the result. Use this to audit existing automation hooks before creating new ones. |
| get_webhookA | Fetch a single webhook subscription's full configuration by GID — topic, endpoint, format, API version, includeFields filter, metafield namespaces, and timestamps. Use to verify subscription details before update or delete, or when debugging delivery issues. |
| create_webhookA | Subscribe to a Shopify event topic and have payloads POSTed to your HTTPS endpoint. Common topics: ORDERS_CREATE, ORDERS_PAID, ORDERS_FULFILLED, PRODUCTS_CREATE, PRODUCTS_UPDATE, INVENTORY_LEVELS_UPDATE, CUSTOMERS_CREATE, APP_UNINSTALLED. Use includeFields to receive only specific fields in the payload (reduces bandwidth and avoids leaking unrelated data). metafieldNamespaces opts in to including metafields from the listed namespaces. callbackUrl must be HTTPS in production. Returns the new subscription's GID; verify delivery is working with a few real events before relying on it. |
| update_webhookA | Modify an existing webhook subscription's callback URL, payload format, includeFields filter, or metafield-namespace filter. Topic cannot be changed — to switch event types, delete and recreate the subscription. Use when migrating an endpoint to a new domain, switching from JSON to XML, or tightening payload size by adding includeFields. Omitted parameters are left unchanged. |
| delete_webhookA | Permanently unsubscribe from an event topic by deleting the webhook subscription. Stops all future deliveries to that endpoint for that topic — irreversible (you'd have to re-create with create_webhook). Use when retiring an integration or switching topics. Returns the deleted GID, or a no-op message if nothing matched. |
| list_metaobject_definitionsA | List the metaobject definitions (custom types/schemas) registered on this Shopify store, with their field definitions. Each definition declares a |
| list_metaobjectsA | List instances of a single metaobject type — e.g. all 'lookbook' or 'product_feature' entries. Returns each metaobject's display name, handle, GID, and (when the type is publishable) ACTIVE/DRAFT status. The type handle comes from list_metaobject_definitions. Cursor-paginated; pass |
| get_metaobjectA | Fetch a single metaobject by GID and return its display name, handle, type, publishable status, and all of its field values. Field values longer than 120 characters are truncated in the rendered output (full values are still on the underlying record). Use list_metaobjects to discover GIDs first. |
| create_metaobjectA | Create a new metaobject (instance) of an existing type. The |
| update_metaobjectA | Update an existing metaobject's handle, field values, or publishable status. Fields are upserted by key — pass only the fields you want to change; omitted fields keep their current values. To clear a field, pass an empty string or null-ish value matching the field type. If you change the handle, set redirectNewHandle=true to have Shopify redirect from the old handle on the storefront. The |
| delete_metaobjectA | Permanently delete a metaobject by GID. Irreversible. Any metafield references pointing at this metaobject will become broken — Shopify does NOT auto-clean references, you have to find and fix them. Use get_metaobject to confirm the right record before deleting. Returns the deleted GID, or a no-op message if nothing matched. |
| run_shopifyql_queryA | Run a ShopifyQL query against the store and return the result as a rendered ASCII table. ShopifyQL is Shopify's SQL-like analytics language. Examples: 'FROM sales SHOW total_sales BY day SINCE -30d TIMESERIES', 'FROM products SHOW product_title, quantity_sold BY product_id SINCE -7d ORDER BY quantity_sold DESC LIMIT 10'. |
