Send Shopify Orders to Google Sheets

5 min setup
No coding required
Runs automatically

Keeping up with order data shouldn't mean downloading CSVs or copying rows by hand. Every time a new Shopify order comes in, this workflow logs each product from that order into a Google Sheets spreadsheet automatically — customer info, shipping details, SKUs, prices, and a direct link back to the order in Shopify. Your records stay current without you touching a thing.

How it works

4 steps to start capturing Shopify order details in Google Sheets automatically

Shopify logo icon

Order Created

App connector: Shopify • Time to complete: 0 minutes (Auto-configured)
Why this matters: This step monitors your Shopify store and activates the entire workflow whenever a customer completes a purchase, ensuring you never miss capturing order data.

This trigger automatically detects when new orders are placed in your Shopify store and passes the complete order information (customer details, products purchased, shipping address, etc.) to the next steps in the workflow. No configuration is required - it's already set up to capture all order data including line items, customer information, and shipping details. The trigger runs continuously in the background and initiates the workflow within minutes of each new order.

Retrieve Shop

App connector: Shopify • Time to complete: 0 minutes (Auto-configured)
Why this matters: This step fetches your store's domain information, which is needed to create proper links back to orders in your Shopify admin panel.

The system automatically retrieves your shop's details from Shopify, including your store's myshopify.com domain name. This information gets used later to build clickable URLs that take you directly to specific orders in your Shopify admin when you're reviewing data in your spreadsheet. The step runs automatically using your existing Shopify connection and requires no input from you.

Loop over each product in the order

App connector: Loop • Time to complete: 0 minutes (Auto-configured)
Why this matters: This step processes multi-item orders correctly by creating separate spreadsheet rows for each product purchased, giving you detailed product-level insights rather than just order summaries.

The loop examines every line item within each order and processes them individually, so if a customer buys 3 different products, you'll get 3 separate rows in your spreadsheet. Each iteration of the loop takes one product from the order and passes its specific details (name, SKU, price, quantity) to the spreadsheet creation step. This ensures you can analyze sales performance at the product level rather than just seeing order totals.

Add Row

App connector: Google Sheets • Time to complete: 2 minutes
Why this matters: This step actually writes the order and product data to your Google Sheets spreadsheet, creating the permanent record you can use for analysis and reporting.

During setup, you'll name your spreadsheet (like "Order Tracking 2024") and select which columns to include from the pre-configured options such as Order Name, Customer Email, Product Name, Product SKU, and shipping address fields. The system automatically creates the spreadsheet with your chosen columns and adds a new row for each product processed by the loop step. You can customize which data points matter most to your business by checking or unchecking the column options during template setup.

Frequently asked questions

Will this create a separate row for each product in multi-item orders?

Yes, the Loop step processes each line item individually, so if someone buys 3 different products in one order, you'll get 3 separate rows in your spreadsheet - one for each product with its own pricing and details.

Can I add more order information beyond what's pre-configured?

Absolutely. During setup, you can select from 12 different data fields including order tags, fulfillment status, payment method, and discount codes. You can also modify the template later to include custom fields or calculated values.

What happens if my Google Sheets spreadsheet gets deleted or renamed?

The workflow will fail and stop adding new rows. You'll need to either restore the original spreadsheet name or update the workflow configuration to point to a new spreadsheet. MESA will send you error notifications so you know when this happens.

Customize this workflow even further:

Filter orders before they're logged
Add a condition step before the loop to only log orders that meet specific criteria — like orders over a certain dollar amount, orders tagged with a specific label, or orders from a particular sales channel. This keeps your spreadsheet focused on the data that matters most to you.
Send a Slack or SMS alert for large orders
After the loop closes, add a Slack or SMS step that fires only when an order total crosses a threshold you define. You get an instant heads-up on high-value orders without having to monitor your spreadsheet manually.
Tag the order in Shopify after logging
Add a Shopify "Update Order" step after the loop ends to automatically apply a tag — like "logged" or "synced" — to every order that's been successfully written to your spreadsheet. Makes it easy to spot any orders that slipped through.
Copy order data into a MESA table for reporting
Instead of (or alongside) Google Sheets, route your order data into a MESA table to build a queryable dataset you can use to power dashboards, feed other workflows, or track metrics over time without relying on a spreadsheet.
