How Zapier works
Zapier makes it easy to integrate AWS Lambda with Shopify - no code necessary. See how you can get setup in minutes.
Choose a trigger
A trigger is the event that starts your Zap—like a "New Function" from AWS Lambda.
Add your action
An action happens after the trigger—such as "Add Line Item to Order" in Shopify.
You’re connected!
Zapier seamlessly connects AWS Lambda and Shopify, automating your workflow.
Supported triggers and actions
Zapier helps you create workflows that connect your apps to automate repetitive tasks. A trigger is an event that starts a workflow, and an action is an event a Zap performs.

Frequently Asked Questions about AWS Lambda + Shopify integrations
New to automation with Zapier? You're not alone. Here are some answers to common questions about how Zapier works with AWS Lambda and Shopify
What is the best way to trigger an AWS Lambda function from Shopify?
One effective method to trigger an AWS Lambda function from Shopify is by using webhooks. You can set up a webhook in your Shopify admin panel to listen for specific events, such as orders created or product updates. When these events occur, the webhook can send an HTTP request to your AWS API Gateway endpoint, which in turn triggers the Lambda function.
How can I handle authentication when integrating AWS Lambda with Shopify?
When integrating AWS Lambda with Shopify, authentication is key to ensure secure communications. A common approach is to use OAuth2 for Shopify API access, and then validate requests coming into your AWS Lambda through API Gateway using IAM roles or custom authorizers.
Can I access Shopify API directly from a Lambda function?
Yes, you can access the Shopify API directly from within an AWS Lambda function. This involves implementing HTTP requests within your function code using libraries like 'axios' or 'requests' (for Node.js and Python respectively), along with proper authentication headers.
What are some common use cases for integrating AWS Lambda with Shopify?
Some common use cases include automating order processing, updating inventory levels across multiple stores in real-time, generating personalized email responses based on customer behavior, and syncing data between third-party services and Shopify seamlessly without manual intervention.
How do I handle errors when a webhook from Shopify fails to trigger my AWS Lambda?
To effectively manage errors when a webhook fails to trigger your AWS Lambda, implement retry logic within your webhook handler that listens for failed executions. Additionally, leverage logging through Amazon CloudWatch Logs to monitor incoming requests and capture error details for further analysis.
Is it possible to call multiple Lambdas sequentially from a single Shopify event trigger?
Yes, after receiving an initial trigger from a Shopify event via webhook and invoking a primary Lambda function, this primary function can then invoke additional Lambdas sequentially by using the AWS SDK. This allows you to orchestrate complex workflows that extend beyond the scope of a single execution environment.
What formats should we consider when sending data between Shopify and our AWS Lambdas?
When exchanging data between Shopify and our AWS Lambdas through webhooks or API calls, JSON format is highly recommended due to its lightweight nature and ease of integration with various programming languages supported by Lambda functions.
