What This Skill Does

The shopify-manager skill serves as a sophisticated bridge between natural language processing and the Shopify Admin API. It transforms high-level business intents—like running seasonal sales or managing inventory levels—into precise, validated API transactions. By implementing a mandatory dry-run architecture, it ensures that every action is previewed before it takes effect on your live store. The skill integrates directly into the OpenClaw environment, maintaining detailed audit logs of all modifications to ensure transparency and accountability in your e-commerce operations.

Installation

To begin, ensure you have the OpenClaw CLI configured. Clone the repository into your workspace directory using the provided path, then install the necessary Python environment dependencies via pip install -r requirements.txt. You must then create a shopify-config.yaml file in your workspace, populating it with your Shopify store domain and a scoped Admin API access token. Ensure your Shopify App settings grant the necessary read/write scopes for products, orders, and content to enable full functionality.

Use Cases

This skill is ideal for e-commerce store managers who need to act quickly without navigating complex admin interfaces. Use it to automate routine tasks such as bulk inventory adjustments during low-stock periods, updating product descriptions to reflect current sustainability initiatives, or managing order fulfillment workflows. It is particularly useful for store owners who manage multiple properties, as the skill supports custom configuration files for different Shopify stores, allowing you to switch contexts instantly.

Example Prompts

1. "Apply a 15% discount to all items in the 'Summer Essentials' collection starting tomorrow."
2. "Fulfill order #99827 with tracking number USP-123456789 and send a notification to the customer."
3. "Increase the inventory count for all variations of the 'Organic Cotton Hoodie' by 50 units at the main warehouse location."

Tips & Limitations

Always rely on the dry-run preview before adding the --execute flag to your command. The tool is designed with safety gates, meaning critical actions like site-wide theme changes or refunds require explicit user confirmation. Be aware that the tool requires specific API scopes to function—if a command fails, double-check that your Shopify Admin App has the necessary write permissions enabled. Keep your shopify-config.yaml file secure, as it contains sensitive authentication keys.
