Ask Claude Where a Shopify Order Is by Order Number

2 min setup

No coding required

Runs automatically

When a customer emails asking where their package is, someone has to open Shopify, search for the order, and read the fulfillment and tracking details. This workflow gives Claude one MCP tool: paste or type an order number in a chat, Claude passes it to MESA, MESA looks the order up in Shopify, and Claude answers with its payment and fulfillment status, tracking numbers, and items.

How it works

2 steps to ask Claude about any Shopify order by number and get its status and tracking in seconds

App connector: AI • Time to complete: 1 minute

Name the workflow 'Look Up a Shopify Order by Order Number' and describe it as returning the status, fulfillment, tracking and line items of one Shopify order. Add one required parameter: order_number, described as the order number the customer sees, such as 1042 or #1042.

App connector: Shopify • Time to complete: 1 minute

Run an orders query with first: 1 and the search filter name:#<order_number> (strip any leading # from the parameter first). Return only the order name, created date, customer first name, total price, display financial status, display fulfillment status, tags, each line item's title and quantity, and each fulfillment's status, tracking company, tracking number and tracking URL. If no order matches, return a short message saying so.

FAQs

Can Claude change the order with this workflow?

No. This workflow only reads one order. Claude can see what it returns, but it has no tool here that edits, refunds, or cancels anything.

Does it return the customer's address and email?

Not as written. It returns the customer's first name and the order details needed to answer a status question, which keeps personal data out of the chat. Add fields to the query only if you need them.

Can I look up an order by the customer's email instead?

Yes. Add an email parameter and use the search filter email:<email> in the same query, or build a second tool so Claude can pick whichever one fits the question.

Personalize this template

Customize this workflow even further:

Draft the reply in your voice

Describe your support tone in the workflow description so Claude drafts the customer reply the way your team writes.

Add recent fulfillment events

Return each fulfillment's latest events so Claude can say where a delayed package last scanned.
