Shopify connector for running your store

Grok Bot has a Shopify connector. The @bot account announced it at 12:11 PM ET on Oct 8: connect Shopify, then ask a Bot to "check orders, track inventory, and keep product listings up to date." Shopify announced it 10 minutes earlier, alongside a separate connector for the Grok chatbot.

SpaceXAI hasn't published a help page for this connector yet, so the exact permissions and plan limits aren't documented.

Why it matters#

Until now, a Bot had to use Shopify through the browser on its cloud computer. In September, Shopify's "verify human" check started blocking that sign-in, and forum staff said a proper connection was the real fix. The workaround they suggested was a custom app with an Admin API token. The connector replaces that setup with a normal sign-in.

How to use it#

1. Ask your Bot to add Shopify, in the app or by tagging @bot on X. Shopify's own tip says you can ask @bot in the replies to its post. Or open Plugins on the sidebar, search for Shopify, and add it, per Cursor's plugin guide.
2. When Grok Bot asks you to Authorize, finish the Shopify login in your browser.
3. Check that Shopify shows under Installed.
4. Ask for a task. An example prompt, based on the tasks SpaceXAI lists: "List today's unfulfilled orders, flag any product with fewer than 10 units in stock, and draft listing updates for anything out of stock."

A real use case: make it a routine. Cursor's routines guide says to ask in plain words, such as "Every weekday at 9:00 AM, summarize new orders and low stock in this chat." Then open the routine and use Test.

Good to know#

• An installed plugin is available to every Bot on your Grok Bot account, per the help center.
• A plugin can only do what the account you authorize can do.
• Approvals from routines expire after about 10 minutes. Turn on Notifications for a Bot that runs store routines.
• SpaceXAI hasn't said which Shopify actions need approval, or which plans get the connector.
