Step-by-step guide
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 DeskFerry account (sign up takes 30 seconds)
- Admin or API access in Shopify to authorize the connection
- Step 01
Create your DeskFerry account
Sign up at deskferry.app — it takes 30 seconds and starts a 7-day free trial. You'll land on the dashboard where you can create your first workflow.
- Step 02
Authenticate Shopify
Click "Add Connection" and select Shopify from the app directory. You'll be redirected to Shopify's authorization page. Grant DeskFerry access to your orders, products, and customer data. You choose which store data the integration can read.
- Step 03
Authenticate Slack
Same process for Slack. Click "Add Connection," select Slack, and authorize access. Grant DeskFerry permission to read and post messages in your selected channels. You control which channels the integration can access.
- Step 04
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.
- Step 05
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.
- Step 06
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 — DeskFerry handles retries, error logging, and monitoring automatically.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How do I connect Shopify to Slack?
Sign up for a free DeskFerry 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?
DeskFerry's 7-day free trial is enough to prove the workflow out. If your Shopify-to-Slack workflows need more volume, paid plans start at $49/month with unlimited workflows and priority execution.
Is my Shopify data secure when connected to Slack?
Yes. DeskFerry 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 DeskFerry 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. DeskFerry's builder is prompt-based: you describe the trigger and what should happen in plain English, and the agent handles the field mapping. If you can use Shopify and Slack, you can set up the integration. Most users are running their first workflow within 10 minutes.
