Shopify Flow is a powerful automation tool designed for Shopify Plus merchants that helps Shopify businesses streamline everyday tasks without writing code. From managing inventory and inventory levels to tagging VIP customers, Flow frees up your time so you can focus on growing your business.

What is Shopify Flow?

Shopify Flow is a visual workflow builder and automation platform that lets you automate actions across your Shopify store, apps, and business processes. It uses a simple trigger-condition-action logic—so when something happens (a trigger), Flow checks for specific conditions and executes appropriate actions based on that. It integrates seamlessly with apps like Klaviyo, Gorgias, LoyaltyLion, or ReConvert, making it a powerful automation solution for your e-commerce store.

 When an order is placed by a repeat customer → If the total is over $200 → Then tag them as VIP, or automatically adds them to customer segmentation for workflow automation.

Tasks you can automate with Flow

Here are just a few of the many automation capabilities Shopify Flow can handle:

  • Customer segmentation: Tag customers based on first-time, high-spending, or repeat behavior.
  • Inventory management: Hide out-of-stock products, reorder products, or notify team members about inventory levels.
  • Order routing and fulfillment: Send orders from specific regions to different warehouses or flag high-risk orders for manual intervention.
  • Loyalty triggers: Apply rewards, discount codes, or emails to customers after specific milestones.
  • Fraud prevention: Flag risky orders before processing.

You can also connect Flow with apps like Klaviyo, Gorgias, LoyaltyLion, or ReConvert for even more advanced workflows using custom triggers and actions or workflow templates.

How to get started

  • Go to the Shopify App Store and install Shopify Flow (free for Shopify Plus stores).
  • Choose a template or start a new workflow from scratch.
  • Select a trigger (e.g., order created, customer signed up).
  • Add conditions and actions based on your business needs to automate repetitive tasks or automate your store.
  • Test the workflow to ensure it works before enabling it live. No coding required—just logic and clicks.

Final outcome

With Shopify Flow, you can eliminate repetitive tasks, reduce errors, automate your Shopify store, and run your store smarter. It’s like hiring a virtual assistant that never sleeps.
