Getting Started

Installing the Application

1. Locate and install Shop Vector from the Shopify App Store.
2. Review the data access requests on Shopify's native authorization screen, then click Install app. These permissions let Shop Vector register webhooks and read the events you choose to route.
3. Upon successful installation, the Shop Vector control panel will initialize directly within your Shopify Admin dashboard.

Initial Setup

Getting started takes just two steps — Shop Vector handles the Shopify webhook plumbing for you.

1. Select a Subscription Plan

Shop Vector requires an active plan to process and buffer incoming events.

• Navigate to the Settings tab within the application.
• Locate the Subscription Plan module and click Choose Plan.
• Select the tier that matches your required features on Shopify’s secure billing gateway and confirm the subscription.
• Upon return, your dashboard status will immediately update to Active.

2. Build Your First Pipeline

Shop Vector manages your Shopify webhooks automatically. When you create a pipeline for a topic, Shop Vector registers the matching webhook in your store — pointed at your dedicated, signature-verified ingress endpoint — and removes it again when no pipeline needs it.

• Navigate to the Pipelines tab and create a pipeline.
• Choose the Shopify topic you want to listen for and set your destination URL.
• Save. Shop Vector registers the webhook and begins routing matching events within moments.

See Pipelines for the full configuration reference.
