What is Shopify Flow?
What is it?
Shopify Flow is a powerful, visual, no-code automation tool (available on the Shopify plan and higher) that lets you automate tasks *within* your Shopify admin and connected apps. Think of it as your store's 'If This, Then That' engine.Why is it important?
It saves you hundreds of hours of manual, repetitive work. Instead of manually tagging high-value customers or flagging risky orders for review, you can build a 'workflow' that does it for you instantly and accurately, every single time.The 3 Building Blocks of a Workflow:
Every workflow you build in Flow uses three simple parts:
- Trigger: The event that starts the workflow. Example: 'Order created'.
- Condition: A rule that checks if the workflow should continue. Example: 'Is the order total greater than $200?'
- Action: The task that Flow performs if the condition is true. Example: 'Add tag 'VIP' to the customer'.
Common Misconception
'Flow is just for developers.' This is completely false. Flow is a *visual* builder. It's designed for merchants. You don't write code; you connect blocks together like building with LEGOs. If you can think through a simple 'if/then' statement, you can use Shopify Flow.
