Shopify events, straight into Custom Webhook
Every new order, refund, or cancellation — posted to Custom Webhook the moment it happens. No automation-platform subscription just to relay one webhook.
Why not call Shopify's API directly from your own endpoint? You can — but then you own Shopify's signature verification, retry handling, and payload quirks yourself. ZestyGlue verifies the signature, normalizes the event into a clean JSON body, and POSTs it to your URL — you only write the part that's actually yours.
What it looks like
ZestyGlue
Shopify — Orders/Create
A real Shopify event, shown as ZestyGlue formats it for Custom Webhook.
Setup — about two minutes
- Create the connector. In ZestyGlue, start a new Shopify → Custom Webhook connector. You'll get a unique webhook URL right away.
- Point Shopify at it. In your Shopify Admin, go to Settings → Notifications → Webhooks → Create webhook. Pick an event, set the format to JSON, and paste in your ZestyGlue webhook URL.
- Copy the signing secret. Shopify shows a signing key underneath your webhook list — paste that into ZestyGlue's connector setup so every event can be verified as genuinely from Shopify.
- Point it at your endpoint. Paste the URL of your own server, script, or automation tool's webhook receiver — no signup, no app to install.
Tip: Shopify webhooks are one topic each, but you can register several — orders/create, orders/paid, refunds/create — all pointed at the same ZestyGlue URL. Every one of them will flow into the same channel.

Questions
Is my Shopify Webhook Signing Secret safe with ZestyGlue?
It's encrypted at rest with Fernet symmetric encryption before it ever touches disk, it's never logged, and it's never displayed again in the dashboard after you enter it — only a masked placeholder is shown.
Does this support draft orders, or only paid orders?
ZestyGlue forwards whatever Shopify sends for the topic you subscribe to. Subscribe to orders/create for every new order regardless of payment status, or orders/paid for confirmed sales only.
Will this slow down my store or affect checkout?
No. Shopify sends the webhook asynchronously after the order is already created, and delivery happens independently in the background.
I have multiple Shopify stores. Can they all post to the same channel?
Yes — create one ZestyGlue connector per store. Each gets its own webhook URL and its own $9/month subscription.
Do I need to write my own server to receive this?
Yes — this destination expects your own endpoint (or a tool like a serverless function, a script, or another automation platform's webhook trigger) to receive the POST. If you don't have one yet, pick one of ZestyGlue's built-in destinations instead.
What happens if my ZestyGlue subscription lapses?
Events are silently dropped rather than causing errors on Shopify's side — Shopify never sees a failure response, so it won't retry aggressively or flag your webhook as broken. Your dashboard will simply stop showing new events until you resubscribe.
