Installation

Install from the Shopify App Store

Open the JsWorkflows Shopify App Store listing: https://apps.shopify.com/jsworkflows.
Review the Shopify permissions requested by the app. These permissions allow JsWorkflows to run supported Shopify workflows and respond to the events and resources your store uses.
Approve the installation. Shopify opens JsWorkflows automatically after the install completes.
Start on the Free plan by default. After installation, you can explore the app, test workflows, and upgrade later from the app’s Plans page if needed.

What to do after installation

After the app is installed, the next step is usually one of these:

start from a template
create a workflow from scratch

Depending on the workflow you build, you may also need to:

add workflow variables or secrets
connect an OAuth service such as Google or Slack
grant additional Shopify scopes required by a specific template or workflow
run a manual test before turning the workflow on

For most stores, the simplest path is:

install the app
open a template
fill in the setup form
run a test
activate the workflow

Permissions and scopes

JsWorkflows uses Shopify permissions in two layers:

Type	What it means
Base app permissions	Permissions granted when you install the app so core workflow features can run
Additional workflow scopes	Extra Shopify scopes requested only when a specific template or workflow needs them

This is important because not every workflow needs the same level of Shopify access.

Examples:

a simple webhook or notification workflow may only need the app’s base permissions
an inventory, fulfillment, or publishing workflow may require extra Shopify scopes
template setup will tell you when additional scopes are required

Why this matters

JsWorkflows is designed for a wide range of Shopify operational workflows. That means the app should not request every possible permission up front if a store does not need it.

Instead:

you install the app with its base permissions
you grant additional workflow-specific scopes only when needed

Uninstalling

Uninstalling the app from Shopify immediately stops all workflows and triggers.

If you reinstall later, follow the normal installation flow again.
