Automated Shopify reports, delivered on schedule

Rahoto connects to your Shopify store through Shopify sign-in and asks for read access only: read_products, read_orders, read_customers and read_inventory. It reads five objects: orders, products, customers, collections and inventory items.

How you connect

What you need before connecting

Sign-in
Shopify sign-in (OAuth)
Access requested

read_products , read_orders , read_customers , read_inventory

You provide
  • Your store domain, as "mystore" or "mystore.myshopify.com"

Connectors read from your sources and are read-only by default. See the connection guidance for the steps.

How it refreshes

Refreshed on your schedule

Refresh mode: Snapshot.

  • On each scheduled run Rahoto takes a fresh snapshot of the data and rebuilds the report from it.
  • You can preview the data before you bind it to the page.
  • Before an issue goes out, Rahoto checks the pages and notices when a source changed shape.
  • Shopify limits how fast its API can be read, and Rahoto paces its requests to stay within that limit.

An example report

Every Monday morning, built from Shopify.

  1. A cover with the trading week
  2. Orders by day, as a trend
  3. Orders by financial and fulfilment status, as a table
  4. New customers in the week
  5. Inventory items with their cost, for the stock review

The structure of a report, with no figures shown. You design the pages; Rahoto binds them to the data and sends them on schedule. See finished examples in the sample gallery.
