About shopify-onboarding-merchant
The shopify-onboarding-merchant skill helps merchants set up, connect, and begin managing a Shopify store directly from an AI assistant. It is designed for store owners with little or no technical experience and provides guided onboarding for Shopify CLI installation, store connection, and store setup workflows. The skill simplifies the process of getting started with Shopify by detecting the user’s operating system, verifying whether the Shopify CLI is installed, and walking the user through installation or upgrade steps when necessary. It also supports merchants migrating from other commerce platforms such as Square, WooCommerce, Etsy, Amazon, eBay, Wix, Clover, Lightspeed, and Google Merchant Center.
The skill includes structured onboarding flows for both creating a new Shopify store and connecting an existing one. It provides OS-specific instructions for opening the Shopify free trial signup page and verifies Shopify CLI compatibility before continuing with authentication. The workflow is intentionally designed to avoid developer-focused concepts and instead focuses on merchant-friendly guidance. It asks clarifying questions when information is missing and ensures that users can authenticate and connect their store without needing to manually run commands outside the guided experience.
This skill is intended for merchants, entrepreneurs, and small business owners who want help launching or managing an online store. It is especially useful for first-time Shopify users, businesses migrating from other ecommerce platforms, and non-technical users who need assistance with setup and onboarding. Compatible with Claude Code, Claude Desktop, and Cursor, the skill supports merchants who want a streamlined way to start selling online or connect their existing Shopify store to an AI-powered assistant.
