The problem it solves

Shopify shows you orders, but pulling out product-level detail, like what sold, in what size or color, and how it was taxed or discounted, for reporting or inventory takes manual exporting and spreadsheet work. That data is easy to lose track of as order volume grows.

Who it fits

An e-commerce business that wants detailed, product-level order data for reporting, inventory, or customer insights.

How it works

  1. A new order is placed in your Shopify store.
  2. The system reads the order and pulls out customer, shipping, and total details.
  3. It breaks the order into individual product line items, each with its own totals and attributes.
  4. It writes each line item into Airtable as its own record.
What you get

Orders broken down before you ask

Every order lands in Airtable already broken down by product, so your reporting and inventory numbers are ready to use.

What you get

Detailed Airtable records covering both full orders and individual product line items.

What you need

A Shopify store and an Airtable account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.
