Shopify Voice AI Integration Guide

Connect DialNexa voice AI with Shopify to answer order questions, check fulfillment, collect return details, and route store actions safely.

The Shopify voice AI integration helps ecommerce teams answer common order calls using current customer, order, fulfillment, and product context. It can reduce repetitive status questions while keeping refunds, cancellations, and address changes protected.

A catalog page describes a possible workflow. It does not confirm that a native Shopify connector is enabled in your workspace. Check Integrations in the DialNexa dashboard first. If Shopify is not listed, use a custom function, agent webhook, or external automation service.

When to use the Shopify voice AI integration

Use Shopify when:

• Customers call about order status, delivery, products, returns, or cancellations.
• The agent can verify the caller against a specific order before sharing details.
• Fulfillment and tracking information should be read from the matched order.
• Money movement and order changes follow store approval rules.

Best first workflow: Verify the caller with the order number and an approved identity field, read fulfillment and tracking status, and create a support handoff when the order needs a change.

Before you begin

Prepare the following:

• A published DialNexa agent that has already passed a basic test call.
• Access to the DialNexa workspace Integrations page.
• A Shopify account with permission to read or update the required records.
• One test record that does not affect a live customer.
• A list of actions that can run automatically and actions that require human review.

Choose how to connect Shopify

Connection method	Use it when	Important limit
Workspace connector	Shopify appears in your DialNexa Integrations page	Available actions and authentication depend on your workspace
Custom function	The agent needs Shopify data during the live conversation	Keep the request fast and return only the fields the agent needs
Agent webhook	Shopify should receive a result after the call	Your endpoint must authenticate, retry safely, and prevent duplicate writes
External automation	The workflow spans Shopify and several other systems	Monitor the external workflow separately from the DialNexa call

Build the Shopify voice AI workflow

1. Define the exact event that starts the action, such as a confirmed booking, qualified lead, support escalation, or completed call.
2. Choose the connection method from the table above.
3. Map caller identity, the DialNexa call ID, the verified outcome, and the destination record ID.
4. Add a condition so uncertain, sensitive, destructive, or high-value changes go to a human-owned queue.
5. Store the destination record URL or ID with the call result so your team can trace the handoff.
6. Test success, no-match, duplicate, permission-error, and timeout cases before using live traffic.

Data to map between DialNexa and Shopify

• Customer and order IDs, order number, verified email or phone, and store
• Financial and fulfillment status, shipment, tracking, items, and delivery address
• Call ID, verification result, request type, return reason, summary, and owner
• Product or variant ID when the question concerns availability or compatibility

High-value Shopify voice AI workflows

Call outcome	Shopify result	Human control
Customer asks where an order is	Read fulfillment and tracking status	Share data only after order verification
Customer wants a return	Capture items and reason, then create a support handoff	Apply store return eligibility rules
Customer wants to cancel or change address	Record the exact request and order state	Require approval before modifying an order
Customer asks a product question	Read approved catalog fields	Escalate uncertain compatibility or stock promises

Verify the Shopify integration

Run a test call and confirm that:

1. The caller passes your approved order-verification check.
2. The workflow reads the intended order, fulfillment, tracking, or product record.
3. The DialNexa call ID prevents duplicate support handoffs or updates.
4. Address changes, cancellations, returns, and refunds follow store eligibility and approval rules.
5. A failed lookup or write creates a visible task with the order and call IDs.

Troubleshoot Shopify integration issues

Problem	What to check
Shopify is not shown in the dashboard	Use a custom function, webhook, or external automation service, or request the integration
Authentication fails	Reconnect the account and verify scopes, workspace ownership, and token expiry
Order is not found	Confirm the order number and approved identity field, then use the exact Shopify order ID
Duplicate handoffs or changes appear	Use the DialNexa call ID as an idempotency key and make retries safe
The live call becomes slow	Move nonessential writes to a post-call webhook and keep live lookups small
