Shopify Flow workflow
Create a ShopTasks task for large Shopify orders
High-value orders often need a second look — packing, fraud, or a ship confirmation. This workflow assigns that look.
- When
Order created
- If
- Order total is greater than your threshold (for example $500 or $2,000)
- Then
Create ShopTasks task: Review large order #{{order.name}} before fulfilment
Confirm line items, shipping method, and any packing or fraud checks your store requires above this value.
- Assign
Operations
- Outcome
Large orders are reviewed on purpose. The threshold you already care about creates work, instead of relying on someone noticing the total on the order list.
Why this workflow exists
A $2,000 order that ships to a new address is a different operational job than a $40 repeat. Flow already knows the total. ShopTasks makes sure a person uses that knowledge.
How to set it up
- Pick a threshold your team will actually review. If you set it too low, tasks will be ignored.
- This can sit alongside the high-risk workflow — a large order can be both high value and high risk.
- ShopTasks includes a similar idea in automation policy templates (high-value order review). Use Flow, policies, or both — not two competing tasks for the same order unless you intend two steps.
- State in the task what 'review' means for your store: fraud, packing, or VIP shipping.
FAQ
Is this the same as high-risk review?
No. Large is about value. High-risk is about Shopify's risk analysis. Many stores want both, as separate conditions.
Can the threshold differ by market?
Use Flow conditions you already have (currency, market, customer tag) so a wholesale $2,000 order and a D2C $2,000 order can route differently if they should.
