Done-for-you Malcolm! and Shopify connection
Shopify Malcolm! Integration, Tested Before You Rely on It
A Shopify Malcolm! integration is an embed, not an app, per old AppSumo answers from about 2020: paste the widget's embed code to place a floating sidebar widget, or build a workflow and embed its form in your theme. Fonts are limited to Raleway, Helvetica, Helvetica Neue, Montserrat and Nunito, and ad blockers can block the widget. We set up, test and hand over, from $390.
- Widget or form embedded in the theme
- Fonts and styling checked against the brand
- Ad-blocker behaviour tested
- Test log and a recorded handover

Our track record
450+ Shopify Stores Launched Since 2015. Your Malcolm! Connection Gets the Same Care.
A connection between Shopify and Malcolm! earns its keep only when the data is right on a normal busy day. After a decade of building stores, we know where orders, customers and products tend to break an integration, and we design around it.

Problems solved
Shopify Malcolm! Integration: Six Faults We Fix First
Embedded workflows fail on blockers and styling. These are the six faults we fix.
The problem
Ad blocker hides the widget
The outcome
Customers never see it. We provide an inline fallback.
The problem
Fonts clash with the brand
The outcome
The page looks off. We choose the nearest font.
The problem
Snippet pasted twice
The outcome
The widget doubles. We keep one.
The problem
Widget covers buttons
The outcome
Sales drop. We test layouts.
The problem
Old answers followed
The outcome
Steps differ. We confirm with the vendor.
The problem
No handover
The outcome
Setup is unwritten, so the next change starts from guesswork. We write down the triggers, fields and tests.

How We Build Your Malcolm! 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
The brief covers what you sell, how Malcolm! is used and which events should trigger work. We review some orders and reviews to decide the starting point and the limits.
- 2
Access and connection
Access is narrow and approved by you, using an API key or a connected store. A live read proves the connection works before any build begins.
- 3
Map and rule
The map covers customer email, product, rating and order date; we put the conflict winners and blank rules in writing.
- 4
Build in a copy
Nothing is built on live records. The flow runs on test data first, and you see the plan, plus a recording if useful.
- 5
Test on real cases
The tests cover a delivered order, a five-star review and a one-star review, along with refunds and edits, and we check each result against Shopify.
- 6
Go live and hand over
Once you approve, we switch the flow on, watch the first runs and hand over notes, a diagram and a short recorded tour.

Inside every project
Six Safeguards Built Into Every Malcolm! Integration
None of these costs extra. They are simply how we work.
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.
Narrow access, in your name
Access is as narrow as possible, granted through an API key or a connected store, and every account remains yours.
Failures raise a flag
When a run fails, a named person is told which order and why. Silence is never taken as success.
A written definition of done
We call it complete when a delivered order, a five-star review and a one-star review work as agreed and the log proves it.
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
After any load we compare counts with the source, so missing or doubled records are caught early.
Interactive price calculator

What we need to get started
What We Need From You to Begin
Three things get the work moving: safe access, a few answers and a decision-maker. Here is the detail.
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
Without a store, we build one in a Partner account with Malcolm! connected, then transfer it to you. You pick a plan once everything works.
Or share a staff login
Sharing a staff login is possible. The collaborator route is safer, though: one click removes it and no password is passed around.
Your Malcolm! access
Set up the account and invite us, or have us create it under your email. You stay the owner either way, and access runs through an API key or a connected store.
Sample records
Two or three representative records from each side are enough. They show us the true shape of your data.
A decision-maker
We need one person to approve the plan and the test, plus a rule for what wins when Malcolm! and Shopify clash.
We never need your owner password or payment details. Access is limited, logged and removable at any time.
