## What it does

The skill lays out ready-made workflows for a Shopify store. Inside: inventory tracking with low-stock alerts, order handling from validation to fulfillment, post-purchase email sequences and customer segmentation. There is also stock sync across other channels such as Amazon, eBay and Walmart.

It runs through the `shopify-mcp` MCP server with the `shopify_orders`, `shopify_inventory`, `shopify_customers` and `shopify_products` tools. The skill does not call the Shopify API on its own, so without that server connected the calls have nowhere to go. Worth checking before you install.

Workflows are written as YAML steps: pull product data, filter variants below the reorder threshold, sort by urgency, build a report and push it to Slack. The default threshold is 10 units, with anything at 5 or below marked critical. The scenarios follow n8n's e-commerce templates, so expect to adapt parts of the logic to your own process.

## Inventory Management

### Low Stock Alerts

```yaml
workflow: "Inventory Alert System"
schedule: "Daily 9am"

steps:
  1. fetch_inventory:
      shopify:
        endpoint: products
        include: variants
        
  2. filter_low_stock:
      condition: inventory_quantity <= reorder_threshold
      default_threshold: 10
      
  3. categorize_urgency:
      critical: inventory_quantity <= 5
      warning: inventory_quantity <= 10
      
  4. generate_report:
      group_by: [category, urgency]
      
  5. notify:
      slack:
        channel: "#inventory-alerts"
        message: |
          ⚠️ *Low Stock Alert*
          
          🚨 *Critical (≤5 units):*
          {critical_items}
          
          ⚠️ *Warning (≤10 units):*
          {warning_items}
          
          [View in Shopify]({admin_link})
          
  6. create_purchase_orders:
      if: auto_reorder_enabled
      template: generate_po_for_each_supplier
```

### Predictive Reordering

```yaml
workflow: "Smart Inventory Reordering"

analysis:
  data_sources:
    - sales_history: last_90_days
    - seasonal_trends: year_over_year
    - current_velocity: last_14_days
    
  calculations:
    daily_sales_rate: avg(units_sold_per_day)
    days_of_stock: current_inventory / daily_sales_rate
    reorder_point: daily_sales_rate * lead_time * safety_factor
    
  safety_factor:
    high_velocity: 1.5
    normal: 1.3
    slow_moving: 1.1
    
actions:
  auto_reorder:
    condition: days_of_stock <= lead_time + buffer
