Kayako and Shopify, connected properly
Shopify Kayako Integration, Tested Before You Rely on It
A Shopify Kayako integration depends on the product: Kayako Classic's docs say there is no direct integration and point to the REST API or a partner, while Kayako's current marketing page lists a one-click Shopify connector that shows orders in the customer timeline. Zapier creates a Kayako user per new Shopify customer. We confirm yours, then set up, test and hand over, from $390.

Our track record
Launched 450+ Shopify Stores Since 2015. Now We Connect Them to the Tools You Run.
A store is only as useful as the systems around it. Our integration work is built on years spent inside Shopify, so we know what a clean order looks like before it reaches Kayako.

Problems solved
Shopify Kayako Integration: Six Faults We Fix First
Helpdesk links fail on product and credentials. These are the six faults we fix.
The problem
Wrong Kayako
The outcome
Classic steps are used for the new product. We confirm.
The problem
Credentials wrong
The outcome
The store never connects. We check scopes.
The problem
Duplicate users
The outcome
Customers repeat. We match on email.
The problem
Order missing from ticket
The outcome
Agents guess. We test the timeline.
The problem
Order data over-shared
The outcome
Privacy is at risk. We limit fields.
The problem
No handover
The outcome
Setup is unwritten, so the next change starts from guesswork. We write down the triggers, fields and tests.

The connection, mapped
How Shopify Kayako Integration Moves Data Between Shopify and Kayako
Each connection follows the same path. The store sends an event, we check it against what Kayako already holds, the right record is written and the change is logged where your support team can see it. This map shows the pieces we connect and test before handover.

How We Build Your Kayako Integration, Step by Step
A fixed order of work keeps the project predictable. You know what happens next at every point.
- 1
Brief and scope
First we find out what you sell, how your team uses Kayako and which events count. A quick look at your orders and tickets tells us where to begin and what to avoid.
- 2
Access and connection
Access is narrow and approved by you, using an OAuth sign-in or an API token. A live read proves the connection works before any build begins.
- 3
Map and rule
The map covers ticket id, customer email, order number and status; we put the conflict winners and blank rules in writing.
- 4
Build in a copy
A copy comes first: test data only, a visible plan and, where helpful, a recorded run.
- 5
Test on real cases
We test a new ticket, a repeat customer and a refund request, plus refunds and edits, then compare the results with what Shopify shows.
- 6
Go live and hand over
When you say go, the flow goes live. We watch the first runs and leave you notes, a diagram and a recorded walkthrough.
Compare your options
Four Ways to Connect Kayako and Shopify, Compared
There are four common ways to connect Shopify and Kayako. This table compares the checks that decide whether the data stays right, whether failures are noticed and whether you can pass the link to someone else.
| What matters | Kayako app or DIY | Automation platform | Freelance gig | Store Design Expert |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fields matched deliberately | Basic defaults | If you build it | Hit and miss | Yes |
| Duplicate protection built in | Easy to overlook | Possible | Seldom | Yes |
| Alerts when something breaks | No | If you add it | Not usually | Yes |
| Tested on refunds and edits | Seldom | When you test | Varies | Yes |
| Cost agreed before any work | Just plan fees | Fees plus your hours | Yes | Yes |
| Written notes and recorded handover | No | No | Seldom | Yes |
| Ownership stays with you | Yes | Yes | Depends | Yes |
| Aftercare | Help desk of the vendor | Platform support | Varies | Included for a period |
Inside every project
What Keeps Your Store and Kayako Data Safe
Integrations move customer data between systems, so mistakes are costly. These practices come with every package and explain why a fixed fee can still be a careful one.
Secrets kept in a vault
Tokens and keys are stored in a secure vault, never pasted into notes or chat.
Nothing sent without approval
Anything that emails, texts or posts to a customer is reviewed with you before it is switched on.
Counts compared, not assumed
We check totals against the source after each load, so mismatches surface straight away.
Failures raise a flag
A failed run alerts a named person with the order and the reason. Silence never means success.
Plain scope, two revision rounds
The price is visible before you pay, and in-scope changes get two structured rounds, so small tweaks never turn into hourly bills.
A written definition of done
A flow is finished when it handles a new ticket, a repeat customer and a refund request correctly and the results are logged.

What we need to get started
Getting Started: What We Ask For
We need a way into your store, a Kayako account and a short brief. Pick the access route that suits you.
Approve a collaborator request
Selling already? Send the address and accept a collaborator request. You keep ownership, we get a limited role, and you can revoke it at any moment.
Starting from nothing? We build first
We can assemble the store in our own Shopify Partner account, connect Kayako there, then hand the whole store over by ownership transfer. You pick a Shopify plan only at the end.
Or share a staff login
A staff account is an option. The collaborator route is still better, as it can be cancelled instantly and involves no shared password.
Your Kayako access
You can create the account and invite us, or we can create it with your email. In both cases you hold the owner role, and we connect using an OAuth sign-in or an API token.
Sample records
Send two or three typical records from each side, or tell us where to find them. Real examples show us how your data is actually shaped.
A decision-maker
Who signs off the plan and the test? And when Kayako and Shopify disagree, which one is right? Those two answers are all we need.
Your Shopify owner password and card details never reach us. Changes are made in a copy, and we note every setting we touch.

How long does the Kayako integration take?
Single Workflow takes 3 to 5 working days, Core Workflows 5 to 9 and Full Integration 8 to 14. The usual variables are how much history you want loaded and how quickly you approve the test results. The Sooner and Fastest options shorten the schedule when a launch date is fixed.
