The problem it solves

You place orders in Shopify but tracking inventory, analyzing sales, or building reports means manually copying order details into a spreadsheet. That's tedious and easy to get wrong, especially when orders have multiple products.

Who it fits

Ecommerce store owners who need clean, itemized order data for reporting or inventory tracking.

How it works

  1. A new Shopify order triggers the automation
  2. Order, customer, and shipping details are pulled and totals are calculated
  3. Each product in the order is broken into its own line item with pricing details
  4. The system checks whether the customer is new or returning
  5. Every line item is added as a record in Airtable
What you get

Order details broken down automatically for you

Every Shopify order shows up in Airtable already split into detailed, itemized records, ready for reporting or inventory tracking.

What you get

A fully itemized Airtable database of every order, ready for reporting or inventory analysis.

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.
