  • Review requested scopes before approval
  • Limit customer-data use to required workflows
  • Test notifications with controlled orders
  • Review logs when an event or message fails

Optional mobile access

Shopify integration questions

Frequently asked questions

Essential installation, event, template and data-access information for Shopify merchants and administrators.

How do I install the BotLinkd Shopify app?

Open the BotLinkd Shopify installation page, enter the permanent myshopify.com domain requested by the connection flow, continue to Shopify, review the requested permissions and approve the app for the selected store.

Which Shopify events can send WhatsApp notifications?

The app can be configured around supported order creation, payment, cancellation, refund and fulfillment events. Exact triggers depend on the current app version, Shopify webhook subscriptions and your BotLinkd settings.

Can the app confirm cash-on-delivery orders?

An optional COD confirmation workflow can be used where it is available and enabled. The selected WhatsApp template, interactive-message support and account configuration must be tested before production use.

Do I need approved WhatsApp templates?

Business-initiated messages may require approved WhatsApp templates. Configure the required templates in the applicable BotLinkd and WhatsApp Business Platform workflow before relying on automated notifications.

Why does the installation flow ask for a myshopify.com domain?

Shopify assigns every store a permanent myshopify.com domain even when the storefront uses a custom public domain. The installation flow uses the Shopify store domain to start authorisation for the correct store.

How is Shopify customer data handled?

The merchant reviews the permissions requested during Shopify authorisation. Access to customer and order data depends on approved API scopes, Shopify protected-customer-data requirements and the app configuration. Only the data required for enabled workflows should be used.

Can authorised staff reply to customers from Android?

Authorised users with an active BotLinkd account can use BotLinkd Chat for Android to access supported customer conversations and reply from a compatible Android device.
