Relay Shopify Integration, Tested Before You Rely on It
A Relay Shopify integration automates store tasks with approvals built in. Relay.app connects Shopify to Asana, Mailchimp, Help Scout, QuickBooks Online, OpenAI and more: a new product can create an Asana task, a form response can find an order. Its human-in-the-loop steps pause a flow for someone to approve. We design and test, from $390.
- Trigger and action list verified for your plan
- Human approval steps for refunds and high-value orders
- Connected tools mapped and tested
- Test log and a recorded handover

Our track record
450+ Shopify Stores Launched Since 2015. Your Relay Connection Gets the Same Care.
A link between Relay and your store earns its keep only when the data is right on an ordinary Tuesday. Having spent a decade building stores, we know where orders, customers and products usually break an integration, and we plan for it.

Customers wait. We set deadlines.

Flows are unwritten. We document them.

How We Wire Relay to Your Store, Step by Step
All connections follow the same path. The store sends an event, we check it against what Relay already holds, the right record is written and the change is logged where your operations team can see it. The map shows the pieces we connect and test before handover.

How We Build Your Relay Integration, Step by Step
Six stages, in order. Nothing touches live data until you have seen it work on a copy, and your calculator choices decide how long each stage takes.
- 1
Brief and scope
We start with questions: what you sell, how Relay fits your day and which events matter. Reading through your orders and runs shows where the flow begins and what it must never touch.
- 2
Access and connection
You grant limited access to Shopify and Relay through an API key or a connected account. Before building, we read live data to prove both connections.
- 3
Map and rule
The map covers input, output, status and cost; we put the conflict winners and blank rules in writing.
- 4
Build in a copy
The flow is built against test data, never your live records. You see the plan and, where useful, a recorded run.
- 5
Test on real cases
We run an approval, a flagged order and a handover, then refunds and edits, and verify each outcome against what the store shows.
- 6
Go live and hand over
On your approval the flow is switched on and monitored through its first runs, and you receive notes, a diagram and a quick video tour.

Inside every project
Six Safeguards Built Into Every Relay Integration
None of these costs extra. They are simply how we work.
Narrow access, in your name
The smallest workable access, set up through an API key or a connected account, with all accounts in your name.
Failures raise a flag
A failed run alerts a named person with the order and the reason. Silence never means success.
Build in a copy, never live
Test data comes first. Live orders and runs are left alone until you sign off.
Secrets kept in a vault
A secure vault holds every key and token; none appear in notes or chat.
A written definition of done
Done means the flow copes with an approval, a flagged order and a handover, and the results are written in the log.
Plain scope, two revision rounds
You see the price before paying. Changes within scope go through two structured rounds, so a tweak never becomes an hourly invoice.

Why Store Design Expert
What You Get From Us That a Template Does Not
Most of this job is clicking, and you could do it. People hire us because the unglamorous parts, ids, timing and edge cases, decide whether the connection helps or hurts.
A price you can plan around
You see the cost and extra days for each choice in the calculator. Any Relay subscription is billed by Relay, so check what it charges today.
A direct line to the builder
You talk to the person working on your flow, and questions about a trigger or field get a plain answer.
We live inside Shopify
Orders, refunds, edits and metafields are what we handle every day, which is a different skill from knowing Relay's menus.
Notes a colleague can follow
We document what moves where and which settings we picked, so the next developer starts informed.
4.9+ from verified clients
You can read verified client reviews on this page before paying, so past results are visible.
Tested on your real cases
Your real scenarios are the test plan: an approval, a flagged order and a handover.
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
Already trading? Share the store address and accept our collaborator request. You remain the owner, we see only what the role allows, and you can remove us whenever you like.
Starting from nothing? We build first
No store yet? We build it in our Partner account, connect Relay there and transfer the whole store to you, so you choose a plan only at the end.
Or share a staff login
If it is simpler, a staff login will do. We prefer the collaborator route because it is revocable in one click and no password changes hands.
Your Relay 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 account.
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
Tell us who approves the plan and the test, and which rule should win when Relay and Shopify disagree.
We never need your owner password or payment details. Access is limited, logged and removable at any time.

FAQ
Relay Integration FAQs
Straight answers on price, scope, timing and what we need from you.
How much does Relay Shopify integration cost?
Single Workflow costs $390, Core Workflows $790 and Full Integration $1490. Order volume, data direction, existing Relay data and add-ons change the total, and the calculator shows it before you pay. Most projects land between about $390 and $2090, with delivery from 3 to 14 working days.
How long does the Relay 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.
What is Relay.app?
A workflow tool with human-in-the-loop steps. The same service covers "shopify to relay sync".
Which apps pair with Shopify?
Asana, Mailchimp, Help Scout, QuickBooks Online, OpenAI and more. Another way to phrase it: "relay app human in the loop shopify"; this page covers that too.
Can it find orders from a form?
Yes, per an example workflow. You may also see it searched as "relay shopify app"; the work is the same.
Does it need coding?
No, per Relay's pages. People also search for "shopify relay theme"; the same build answers that too.
Is the pricing confirmed?
Not in our results. People also search for "does relay work with shopify"; this page covers that too.
Is it like Zapier?
It positions itself as an alternative. Related searches such as "shopify mondial relay", this is the page for it.
Can you build it?
Yes. You may also see it searched as "shopify et mondial relay"; the work is the same.
