Shopify + Slack, connected through Orbit

Order and cart events feeding your team's Slack channel.

How Shopify and Slack work together on Orbit

Connect Shopify and Slack to Orbit so abandoned-cart and order-update flows run automatically on SMS/WhatsApp, while your team gets Slack alerts the moment a new conversation comes in from a customer.

Setup steps

  1. Connect Shopify

    In Settings → Integrations, connect your Shopify store so orders, customers, and abandoned checkouts sync into Orbit.

  2. Turn on cart and order flows

    Enable abandoned-cart recovery and order-update messaging on SMS or WhatsApp.

  3. Connect Slack and pick a channel

    Connect Slack and choose the channel that gets alerted when a Shopify customer replies or a conversation needs attention.

Frequently asked

Does Slack get notified for every Shopify order?
No — Slack alerts are driven by Orbit conversation events (new conversations, SLA breaches), not every Shopify order. Order and cart events trigger customer-facing SMS/WhatsApp flows, not Slack posts.
Can support reply to a Shopify customer from Slack?
Yes — Slack's bi-directional thread replies work the same way regardless of which other integration is connected.
