Shopify Integration
How Proofed connects to Shopify — automatic order sync, customisable status tags, the Manage proofs admin link, and line-item custom attributes.
Proofed lives inside Shopify rather than beside it: orders sync themselves, proof status is written back as order tags, and your team can jump from a Shopify order straight into its proofs.
Automatic order sync#
New orders are imported the moment they're placed (via the orders/create webhook), and later changes — customer details, fulfilment status — flow through automatically (orders/update). The Sync button on the dashboard pulls in pre-existing orders on demand.
Synced per order: order number, customer name and email, fulfilment status, and every line item with variant, quantity, product image, and custom attributes.
Order tags#
Proofed writes the current proof status onto the Shopify order as a tag, and swaps it as the status changes. Your other tags are never touched — only Proofed's own status tags are replaced.
| Status | Default tag |
|---|---|
| Pending Design | Proof: Pending |
| Awaiting Approval | Proof: Sent |
| Revision Requested | Proof: Revision |
| Approved | Proof: Approved |
| Archived | Proof: Archived |
All five are renameable in Settings → Order tags (with colour previews), so they can slot into whatever tag conventions your store already uses. Because they're ordinary Shopify tags, you can filter order lists, build saved views, and drive other tag-based automations off proof status.
The "Manage proofs" admin link#
Proofed adds a Manage proofs action to the Shopify order detail page (under the ⋯ actions menu). One click takes you from any order in Shopify admin straight to that order's proofs — no navigating through the app.
Line-item custom attributes#
Custom attributes (line item properties) from your product form or upload app flow straight into Proofed, where they work hard:
- Artwork sources — attributes containing file URLs (including Shopify-hosted uploads) appear as one-click source images in the cut editor
- Dimensions —
Width/Heightattributes power the editor's size suggestions and the{Width}/{Height}filename placeholders - Anything else — every attribute is available in filenames via
{prop:KeyName}
If your product pages collect artwork uploads and dimensions at checkout, Proofed can often go from new order to ready-to-send proof in under a minute — the source file and size are already waiting in the editor.
Privacy & compliance#
Proofed implements Shopify's GDPR webhooks — customer data requests are honoured with a complete export, and uninstalling cleans up shop data.
