Shopify Daily Sales Digest

Most stores open Shopify analytics when something already feels wrong, which is always a day or two late. This agent reads yesterday's orders every morning at eight, sets the numbers against the day before, and posts one Slack message with the few orders worth a human decision. Founders and ops leads use it so the day starts with one set of real figures instead of four people opening four dashboards.

What people use it for

• One number everyone trusts - Sales, support, and fulfilment start the day on the same figures, because every number in the digest is copied straight from a Shopify response rather than retyped into a spreadsheet.
• Catch a bad morning early - A cluster of cancelled or unpaid orders lands in the digest hours after it happens, not at the end of the month when someone finally reconciles.
• See campaign days clearly - The morning after a launch or a sale, yesterday sits next to the ordinary day before it, so the lift is a real comparison instead of a feeling.
• Wholesale and outlier orders surfaced - Unusually large orders are named with their order number and value, so someone can call the buyer or check stock while it still changes the outcome.

Before you fork

What do I need connected before this runs?

A Shopify store with read access to orders and customers, and a Slack workspace with the channel you want the digest in. Setup walks you through both connections. The first Test Run builds a full digest from a staged morning, so you can see the format and fix the wording before it ever posts live.

Can it change anything in my store?

No. It counts orders, lists them, and counts customers, and that is the whole of its access. Its instructions say never to cancel, refund, or fulfil anything, and no Shopify write operation is wired into the template, so the worst case is a digest with a number you disagree with.

What does it cost to run every day?

One agent run each morning, so about thirty a month. A run makes three or four Shopify calls and writes one Slack message, which makes it one of the cheapest things you can put on a schedule. Busy stores cost slightly more because the order list it reads is longer.
