Liquid Webhooks

Using Shopify Webhooks

Liquid webhooks trigger actions on Shopify events like order creation.

Introduction to Liquid Webhooks

Liquid webhooks are a powerful feature in Shopify that allows you to automate actions based on specific events, such as when an order is created. By leveraging webhooks, you can integrate external systems, update databases, notify services, and much more without manual intervention.

How Liquid Webhooks Work

A webhook in Shopify is essentially a listener. Once an event occurs, Shopify sends an HTTP POST request to a specified URL with data about the event. This allows external applications to process this data and perform actions accordingly. It's crucial for developers to handle this data securely and efficiently.

Setting Up a Webhook in Shopify

To set up a webhook in Shopify, you'll need to define the event you want to listen to and provide a URL where the webhook data should be sent. Here’s how you can do it:

  1. Log in to your Shopify admin panel.
  2. Navigate to Settings > Notifications.
  3. Scroll down to the Webhooks section.
  4. Click Create webhook.
  5. Select the event you'd like to listen to, such as Order creation.
  6. Enter the URL where the webhook data should be sent.
  7. Choose the format (JSON is recommended).
  8. Click Save webhook.
