2.2 General Concept

We follow Shopify GraphQL documentation on building this connector, so you can easily use the connector based on Shopify GraphQL API Reference.

HTTP Client

The HTTP Client configuration you will use to access Shopify GraphQL.

As this Connector Package created Shopify GraphQL only accept POST method for the request.

For example, we want to fetch 5 products data. We can use the queries GQL documentation that Shopify provided

Then we directly fill in the query inside Alumio Request Parameter like

Alumio will send an API request method POST to Shopify GraphQL with URL /admin/api/2026-01/graphql.json

3. Publishing using Shopify GraphQL

3.1 Steps

1. Go to Connections → Outgoing, create a new outgoing configuration and select “Shopify GraphQL Publisher” as the publisher.
2. Select the HTTP Client to use.
3. You can optionally change the logging behavior for the Publisher.
4. Fill any data that you want to send to Shopify GraphQL in the Request Paramaters.

3.2 General Concept

Like the subscriber, the publisher has similar use case on how to use it.

HTTP Client

The HTTP Client configuration you will use to access Shopify GraphQL.

As this Connector Package created Shopify GraphQL only accept POST method for the request.

For example, we want to create a product data. We can refer to the mutation documentation that Shopify provided

Then we directly fill in the mutation query inside Alumio Request Parameter like

If the mutation query contain variables then we can fill them in the Variables section

Please note that the Variables format are in JSON.

Alumio will send an API request method POST to Shopify GraphQL with URL /admin/api/2026-01/graphql.json
