Without Zapier, we would have needed well over 100 employees today just to do what we're doing. We would have been out of business by now.
David Laderberg, VP of Sales
Without having automation, we would have to at least be double our size. Doubling is a bit of a euphemism — I think we would have died or fallen back into oblivion.
Marcelo Lebre, Co-Founder
Zapier helps us close far above 50% more deals than we would without it. It is a key element of our overall strategy and, therefore, of our sales pitch.
Raphael Bochner, Founder and CIO
Zapier gives us unlimited flexibility and creativity. With Zapier, you're like an artist with a blank canvas. I don't know what we'd do without it.
Rishi Shah, CEO and Co-Founder
We don't just want to patch holes; we want to build scalable, future-proof systems. Zapier is helping us do that.
Allen Lai, Head of Customer Experience
We've been able to scale our operations while staying lean. Zapier lets us do more without needing more people.

Transform your ecommerce ops with Zapier
Zapier helps you run ecommerce operations with less manual work. Automate order fulfillment, maintain product catalogs, and handle customer communication—and that’s just the start.
Order and fulfillment automation
Orders move without bottlenecks
Automate order routing, fulfillment updates, and shipping handoffs across your ecommerce stack. Connect Shopify, Slack, and Google Sheets to track order status, inventory, and fulfillment automatically. Keep ops moving with fewer delays.
Automated order routing
Route each new Shopify order by product, location, or fulfillment rule, so the right team or partner gets it instantly.
Real-time fulfillment alerts
Send Slack alerts when orders stall, ship, or miss a fulfillment deadline, so ecommerce ops can act before customers ask.
Shipping status updates
Push shipment milestones into Gmail or Slack as tracking changes, keeping buyers informed without manual status checks.
Inventory hold workflows
Hold inventory when high-priority orders land and log reserved stock in Google Sheets, reducing oversells during busy periods.
Exception order tracking
Flag failed payments, split shipments, or missing items fast, then create follow-up tasks before order issues snowball.
How it works
eCommerce operations automation connects your tools, detects order, inventory, and shipping changes, and triggers workflows automatically. Route orders, update customers, and track fulfillment in real time—without manually checking dashboards.
Step 1
Connect your tools
Integrate platforms like Shopify, Klaviyo, HubSpot, storefront tools, and shipping platforms to centralize commerce data.
Step 2
Define triggers
Set conditions for new orders, low inventory, return requests, shipping delays, or price changes.
Step 3
Automate & measure
Send alerts, create tasks, update records, and continuously track fulfillment and retention improvements automatically.
