What does Shopify do?

Shopify is a Claude connector that helps you build and run a Shopify store from Claude. With no store yet, you describe what you sell and its AI store builder sets up a store and products. With an existing store, Claude can read shop details, orders and customers, create and update products and collections, upload images, set inventory levels across locations and create discount codes. It runs analytics queries and GraphQL queries and mutations against the Admin API. The page lists 25 tools.
