Overview

The Shopistuff node for n8n allows you to interact with the Shopify API, specifically targeting customer data in this configuration.
With the Customer → Get operation, the node retrieves detailed information about a specific customer from your Shopify store using their Customer ID.
This is useful for automating workflows that require fetching customer profiles, validating customer existence, or enriching data with customer details.

Example scenarios:

  • Retrieve customer details to personalize email campaigns.
  • Validate customer information before processing orders.
  • Sync customer data between Shopify and other platforms.

Properties

Name Type Meaning
Customer ID String The unique identifier of the customer in Shopify whose data will be retrieved. This field is required.

Output

The output is a JSON object containing all available details about the specified customer as returned by the Shopify API.
Typical fields may include (but are not limited to):

{
  "id": 123456789,
  "email": "[email protected]",
  "first_name": "John",
  "last_name": "Doe",
  "orders_count": 5,
  "state": "enabled",
  "total_spent": "150.00",

}
  • The exact structure depends on the Shopify API response for a customer.
  • No binary data is produced; only structured JSON.

Dependencies

  • External Service: Requires access to a Shopify store via the Shopify API.
  • Credentials: You must configure shopistuffApi credentials in n8n with appropriate API key and permissions to read customer data.

Troubleshooting

Common issues:

  • Invalid Customer ID: If the provided Customer ID does not exist, the node will return an error such as "Not Found" or similar.
    • Resolution: Double-check the Customer ID value.
  • Authentication errors: If API credentials are missing or incorrect, you may see errors like "401 Unauthorized" or "Invalid API Key".
    • Resolution: Ensure your shopistuffApi credentials are set up correctly in n8n.
  • API Rate Limits: Excessive requests may trigger Shopify rate limits, resulting in errors like "429 Too Many Requests".
    • Resolution: Add delays or limit the frequency of requests.
