Setup Guide

  1. 1Download the workflow JSON file and import it into n8n (Import from File)
  2. 2In Shopify Admin: Settings → Apps → Develop apps → create an app with read_checkouts scope
  3. 3Install the app and copy the Admin API access token
  4. 4Create a Shopify Access Token API credential in n8n (shop sub-domain + access token)
  5. 5Connect the Shopify credential on both the Shopify Trigger and Verify Checkout nodes
  6. 6Open the Configure and Extract Checkout node and edit the CONFIG block: shop_subdomain, sender_email, sender_name, email_subject, discount_code
  7. 7Connect an SMTP credential on Send Recovery Email (Gmail App Password, Resend, SendGrid, or Mailgun)
  8. 8Set sender_email to an address on your verified SMTP domain
  9. 9Click Save → Activate the workflow toggle in the top right
  10. 10Start a test checkout with your own email, wait for the delay (use 1 minute for testing, then restore to 1 hour), and confirm the recovery email arrives

Common Mistakes

  • Using the full Shopify URL instead of just the sub-domain — enter only 'yourstore' not 'yourstore.myshopify.com'
  • shop_subdomain in Configure node does not match the Shopify credential — both must use the same value
  • Missing read_checkouts scope on the Shopify app — checkout events will not fire
  • Leaving the Wait node on 1 minute in production — change back to 1 hour after testing
  • sender_email does not match your verified SMTP domain — emails will bounce or fail to send
  • Using a regular Gmail password instead of a Google App Password for SMTP
  • Workflow not activated — abandoned cart emails will not send until the toggle is ON
