Log every new order in Google Sheets
Each new Shopify order becomes a row in a spreadsheet you can filter and share.
How it works
Trigger: Shopify — order created
- Receive the new order from Shopify.
- Pick the fields you need: order number, customer, total, items, country.
- Append a new row to your "Orders" sheet.

}In Make, create a new scenario and add these modules in order:
- Shopify › Watch Orders
- Tools › Set multiple variables
- Google Sheets › Add a Row
- Every module run uses Make operations — the free plan includes a monthly quota.
- Module and step names can differ slightly as Make and Zapier update their apps.
In Zapier, create a new Zap and add these steps in order:
- Shopify — New Order
- Formatter by Zapier (map the fields you need)
- Google Sheets — Create Spreadsheet Row
- Zaps with more than two steps need a paid Zapier plan.
- Module and step names can differ slightly as Make and Zapier update their apps.
Tips
- Freeze the header row so column names never shift.
