  1. 1

    Trigger on New Orders

    Add a Shopify Trigger node on orders/create.

  2. 2

    Evaluate Risk

    Add an IF/Code node flagging orders above a value threshold or where Shopify's risk assessment is high or the billing and shipping countries differ.

  3. 3

    Place the Order on Hold

    Add a Shopify node to add a fraud-review tag and hold fulfillment so it isn't shipped automatically.

  4. 4

    Request a Review in Slack

    Add a Slack node posting the order details and risk signals with approve/hold buttons for your team.

  5. 5

    Activate and Test

    Activate the workflow and place a test order above the threshold. Confirm it's tagged, held, and the Slack review appears.

Frequently asked questions

Won't holding orders annoy good customers?

Keep the threshold high enough that only genuinely unusual orders are held, and review them quickly so legitimate customers barely notice.

Can I auto-release approved orders?

Yes. Wire the Slack approve button to a Shopify step that removes the hold tag and releases the order for fulfillment.
