Getting Started

ShopVector is a Shopify embedded app that routes webhook events from your store to any external system. You define pipelines that listen for specific Shopify events (like orders/create or products/update) and forward them — optionally transforming the payload — to your own endpoints.

Installing the App

  1. Install ShopVector from the Shopify App Store.
  2. You will be redirected to Shopify's authorization screen. Click Install app to grant the required permissions.
  3. After authorization, ShopVector opens inside your Shopify admin.

First-Time Setup

Once installed, complete these three steps before creating your first pipeline:

1. Choose a Plan

ShopVector requires an active subscription to create pipelines.

  • Go to Settings.
  • In the Subscription Plan section, click Choose Plan.
  • You will be taken to Shopify's billing page to select a tier.
  • After confirming, return to ShopVector — your plan will be shown as active.

2. Configure the Ingress Webhook

ShopVector needs to receive webhook events from Shopify before it can route them.

  • Go to Settings.
  • Copy the Webhook URL shown in the Shop Vector Webhook section.
  • In your Shopify admin, go to Settings → Notifications → Webhooks and add a new webhook pointing to that URL. Set the format to JSON and use the latest API version.

3. Set the Webhook Signing Secret

To verify that incoming webhooks are genuinely from Shopify, ShopVector checks an HMAC signature.

  • In your Shopify admin, go to Settings → Notifications → Webhooks and copy the signing secret shown at the top of the page.
  • Back in ShopVector, go to Settings and paste the secret into the Shopify Webhook Secret field.
  • Click Save.

Once all three steps are complete, the Overview dashboard will reflect your live setup and you can create pipelines.
