Integration
Connect Commerce Layer and Shopify
When New Attachment fires in Commerce Layer, your agent runs Add customer in Shopify, or New cart in Shopify to Add Customer Address in Commerce Layer. Describe the whole flow and it is built, tested on every scenario and kept running.
What the catalog holds today. Ask for anything missing and your agent reads the API documentation and adds it.
Build solutions, not workarounds.

Connect your AI client
Give your AI client this address.
https://mcp.apiant.aiOne connection does both: ask your client to act in an app once, or have it build an automation that keeps running. Any client that takes a remote MCP server. Nothing to install. Create your free account, then sign in once in your browser.

Action
Order - add discount codeAppend a discount code to an in-progress order object before it is submitted to Shopify. GraphQL-shaped: the discount entry carries DraftOrderAppliedDiscountInput fields (title/code, value, valueType FIXED_AMOUNT|PERCENTAGE, amount) so the assembled order is ready for the draftOrderCreate / draftOrderUpdate GraphQL mutation. Mirrors the REST builder that appended {code, amount, type} to order.discount_codes; same inputs (Code, Type, Amount, Order) and outputs (order, discount_codes).
Action
Order - add line itemAppends a line item to an in-memory order object (built by Order - initialize) before the order is created. Carries the same inputs (Variant ID, Quantity, Price, Total discount, Origin location ID, Is gift card, Fulfillment status).
Action
Order - add line item propertyAdds a custom line-item property (name/value pair) to the LAST line item of an in-flight Shopify order object being assembled in the Order builder chain (initialize -> add line item -> add line item property -> create). Pure in-memory mutation of the draft order; no API call. Returns the updated order object and its JSON encoding. (No REST->GraphQL change applies: this op never called the REST Admin API; it is a local order-builder helper. The eventual draftOrderCreate/orderCreate happens in the separate 'Order - create' op.)
Action
Order - add line item tax lineAdds a tax line to the last line item of an in-memory order payload (builder, no API call). This op shapes the legacy order JSON structure; it does not call Shopify. Same inputs/outputs as the REST builder. Note: this never touched the Shopify REST API, so there is no GraphQL request equivalent — per-line-item user-supplied tax_lines are a REST Order-payload construct with no GraphQL counterpart (GraphQL computes tax lines server-side).
Action
Order - createCreates a new order.
Action
Order - initializeStarts a new Shopify order in your automation from the customer email, currency, billing and shipping addresses, tags, taxes and status you choose. It does not contact Shopify: pass the result through the Order - add steps (line items, discount codes) and then Order - create to place the order.
Action
Remove tags from customerRemove one or more comma-separated tags from a Shopify customer (looked up by email). GraphQL Admin API port: finds the customer via a customers(query:"email:...") query, then calls the tagsRemove mutation with the customer GID and the tag list. Returns the customer's numeric id and remaining tags.
Action
Remove tags from orderRemoves the given comma-separated tags from a Shopify order (by Order ID). Uses the GraphQL Admin API tagsRemove mutation; tags not present are ignored. Returns the order id and its remaining tags.
Action
Send customer inviteSends an account invite to a customer specified by their email address.
Action
Set Product Variant MetafieldCreate or update a metafield value on a product variant.
Action
Two-way sync add or update a customerTwo-way sync: find a Shopify customer by email (or by the previously mapped customer id) and update it, otherwise create a new customer. Sets email, name, phone, note, tags, marketing consent and a single address. GraphQL Admin API port of the legacy REST customers create/update flow. Returns the customer id and updated_at.
Action
Update customerUpdates an existing customer.
Action
Update Customer Default AddressUpdates a customer's default address, or adds one as the default if they have none. Fields left blank are not changed.
Action
Update Customer Email Marketing ConsentSets a Shopify customer's email marketing consent state and opt-in level.
Action
Update inventory itemUpdates a Shopify inventory item (sku, cost, tracked, country code of origin, harmonized system code). Takes the numeric Inventory Item ID.
Action
Update inventory quantitySet the absolute available inventory quantity for an inventory item at a specific location. GraphQL inventorySetQuantities mutation (name: available) replacing the REST inventory_levels/set.json endpoint. Returns the resulting available quantity, inventory item id, and location id.
Action
Update orderUpdate an existing Shopify order's financial status by Order ID. Returns the order's numeric id, name, updated timestamp, and financial status.
Action
Update order as fulfilledMarks an order's fulfillment order as fulfilled by creating a fulfillment, optionally attaching tracking number/company and notifying the customer. GraphQL fulfillmentCreateV2 mutation.
Action
Update order line item as fulfilledCreates a fulfillment for an order's fulfillment order (optionally a specific line item) with tracking info, via the GraphQL fulfillmentCreateV2 mutation.
Action
Update productUpdate an existing product in Shopify (GraphQL Admin API, productUpdate mutation). Updates title, description, vendor, product type, tags, and/or status on the product identified by the Product ID setting; only provided fields are changed. Returns the product id, title, handle, status, updated timestamp, and admin GraphQL id.
Action
Update product variantUpdates an existing variant of a Shopify product — its price, compare-at price, SKU, barcode, weight and option values. Fields left blank keep their current values.
No trigger or action matches that. Ask your agent to add it: it reads the API documentation and builds what you describe.
Each app on its own

Questions
Commerce Layer and Shopify, answered
What can start an automation from Commerce Layer?
Any of Commerce Layer's 13 triggers in the catalog, including New Attachment, New Customer, New Customer Address Event and New Customer Password Reset Event. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one.
What can your agent do in Shopify when something happens in Commerce Layer?
Any of Shopify's 79 actions, including Create Metafield Definition, Create Order with Calculated Tax, Create or Update Theme File and Create product. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships.
Can it also run from Shopify to Commerce Layer?
Yes. When something happens in Shopify, your agent can act in Commerce Layer too. This page covers both directions: Shopify's triggers and Commerce Layer's actions are listed here as well.
Do I have to build a connector for Commerce Layer or Shopify?
No. Both are in the catalog with their triggers and actions. You describe the automation; your agent builds it, tests every scenario and keeps it running.
Can my AI client use Commerce Layer and Shopify without building an automation?
Yes. With your AI client connected to APIANT, ask it to do something in either app once and it runs that action on the spot. Ask for an automation and your agent builds it, tests every scenario and keeps it running. One connection covers both.
What happens when something fails?
Your agent works that out for you. It plans the failure paths along with the happy path, then tests every scenario before it ships.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. Every plan includes the agent, including free, and building from your own AI client spends no assistant credits.
