Linking Shopify as a source

The Shopify connector can sync your Shopify store data into PostHog.

To sync Shopify data:

In Shopify

Go to your Shopify store's admin panel at https://admin.shopify.com/store/your-store-id
Click Settings.
Click Apps and sales channels.
Click Develop apps.
IMPORTANT: Click Build apps in Dev Dashboard (legacy apps will be deprecated January 1 2026).
Click Create app.
Give your app a name and click Create.
You will be redirected to a screen for releasing a new version of your app. Here, you need to:
Set the app URL. Use the default value https://shopify.dev/apps/default-app-home.
Choose the app scopes. We recommend selecting all read options for the simplest setup, but only read_orders is required to sync core order data. See scope requirements for details.
Click Release and fill in the optional release details.
Go to Home in the Dev Dashboard and click Install app to install the app in your store.
Go to Settings in the Dev Dashboard and note your Client ID and Secret for later.

For more information about creating apps in Dev Dashboard see the Shopify docs.

In PostHog

Go to the data pipelines page, and select the Sources tab.
Click the + New source button and select Shopify by clicking the + Create button.
Fill in your Shopify Store ID – enter your store subdomain (the my-store part of my-store.myshopify.com) or paste your full store URL. Also fill in the Client ID and Secret from above.
Optional: Add a prefix to your table names.
Click Next.
Select the Shopify objects you want to sync, and make any sync configuration changes you need.
Click Import.

After these setup steps, your Shopify data will be automatically synced to the PostHog data warehouse. You can see details and progress in the data pipelines sources tab.

Configuration

Option	Description
`Store id` Type: text Required: True	Your store subdomain — the `my-store` in `my-store.myshopify.com`. Pasting the full store URL works too.
`Client ID` Type: text Required: True
`Secret` Type: password Required: True

Scope requirements

The read_orders scope is sufficient to sync core order data. However, some fields in the orders table require additional scopes:

Field	Required scope (any one)
`fulfillmentOrders`	`read_merchant_managed_fulfillment_orders`, `read_third_party_fulfillment_orders`, or `read_assigned_fulfillment_orders`
`paymentTerms`	`read_payment_terms`

Note: If your token doesn't have these additional scopes, the orders sync still succeeds — those fields are simply omitted from the synced data. You don't need to grant extra permissions for data you don't need.
