How to connect Shopify to Slack
Follow these steps to set up your integration. The entire process takes under 5 minutes.
What you'll need
- An active Shopify account
- An active Slack account with permission to install apps
- A free Arahi AI account (sign up takes 30 seconds)
- Admin or API access in Shopify to authorize the connection
Create your Arahi AI account
Sign up at app.arahi.ai — it's free and takes 30 seconds. No credit card required. You'll land on the dashboard where you can create your first workflow.
Authenticate Shopify
Click "Add Connection" and select Shopify from the app directory. You'll be redirected to Shopify's authorization page. Grant Arahi access to your orders, products, and customer data. You choose which store data the integration can read.
Authenticate Slack
Same process for Slack. Click "Add Connection," select Slack, and authorize access. Grant Arahi permission to read and post messages in your selected channels. You control which channels the integration can access.
Choose your trigger
Select what event starts the workflow. For this integration, popular triggers include: new order placed in shopify or new message received in slack. The trigger fires automatically whenever that event happens — no manual intervention.
Configure the action
Define what happens when the trigger fires. For example: send message in slack. Map the data fields between Shopify and Slack so the right information lands in the right place.
Test and activate
Run a test to confirm data flows correctly between Shopify and Slack. Check that the fields map as expected, then toggle the workflow on. It runs 24/7 from here — Arahi handles retries, error logging, and monitoring automatically.

Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about connecting Shopify and Slack.
How do I connect Shopify to Slack?
Sign up for a free Arahi AI account, then click "Add Connection" to authenticate both Shopify and Slack via OAuth. Choose a workflow template — like syncing commerce events to communication actions — customize the field mapping, and activate. The entire setup takes under 5 minutes.
What can I automate between Shopify and Slack?
Popular automations include: post new Shopify orders to Slack channels, alert Slack when high-value orders arrive, notify Slack on Shopify refund requests, and share daily Shopify sales summaries in Slack. Filters let you route different order types to specific channels.
Is the Shopify and Slack integration free?
Arahi AI includes 100 free actions per month on the Starter plan — enough for most small teams. If your Shopify-to-Slack workflows need more volume, paid plans start at $29/month with unlimited workflows and priority execution.
Is my Shopify data secure when connected to Slack?
Yes. Arahi uses OAuth 2.0 for authentication — we never store your Shopify or Slack passwords. All data is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest (AES-256). Your commerce data is only accessed when a workflow runs, and you can revoke access at any time from your Arahi dashboard.
Can I sync data both ways between Shopify and Slack?
Yes. You can set up workflows that trigger from either Shopify or Slack. For example, create a workflow where Shopify events update Slack, and a separate one where Slack changes sync back to Shopify. Each direction is configured independently so you have full control.
Do I need technical skills to connect Shopify and Slack?
No coding is required. Arahi's visual workflow builder lets you configure triggers, actions, and field mapping with clicks. If you can use Shopify and Slack, you can set up the integration. Most users are running their first workflow within 10 minutes.
