Auto-Fulfill Shopify Orders in Zendrop the Moment Payment Clears

When a Shopify order is marked as paid, this workflow instantly sends the order data to Zendrop via webhook to trigger dropshipping fulfillment. No manual copy-paste, no delays — orders flow automatically from checkout to fulfillment.

difficulty Intermediatesetup 30 minresult Every paid Shopify order is automatically forwarded to Zendrop's webhook endpoint within seconds, triggering fulfillment without any manual intervention.
  1. 1

    Trigger on Paid Shopify Orders

    Add a Shopify Trigger node and set the Topic field to orders/paid. This node listens for Shopify's webhook and fires every time an order payment is confirmed. In the node credentials, enter your Shopify store URL and API credentials. n8n will register the webhook on Shopify automatically.

  2. 2

    Filter for Fully Paid Orders Only

    Add an IF node connected to the Shopify Trigger. Set the condition to check that {{$json["financial_status"]}} equals the string paid. This prevents partially paid or pending orders from being sent to Zendrop prematurely. Route the true branch to the next step.

  3. 3

    Map Order Fields for Zendrop

    Add a Set node on the true branch of the IF node. Create fields that Zendrop expects: set order_id to {{$json["id"]}}, customer_email to {{$json["email"]}}, shipping_address to {{$json["shipping_address"]}}, and line_items to {{$json["line_items"]}}. This shapes the payload before sending it to Zendrop.

  4. 4

    Send Order to Zendrop Webhook

    Add an HTTP Request node connected to the Set node. Set Method to POST and paste your Zendrop webhook URL into the URL field (found in your Zendrop dashboard under Integrations or Webhooks). Set Body Content Type to JSON and in the Body field use {{$json}} to send all mapped fields. Add any required Zendrop API key in the Headers section as Authorization: Bearer YOUR_ZENDROP_API_KEY.

Frequently asked questions

Where do I find my Zendrop webhook URL?

Log in to your Zendrop account and navigate to Settings > Integrations or the API/Webhooks section. Copy the endpoint URL provided there and paste it into the HTTP Request node's URL field in n8n.

What happens if the HTTP Request to Zendrop fails?

You can enable n8n's built-in retry mechanism by clicking on the HTTP Request node, going to Settings, and turning on `On Error` retry options. You can also add an error workflow in n8n settings to send yourself an email or Slack alert when any node fails.

Will this workflow send duplicate orders to Zendrop?

Shopify's `orders/paid` webhook fires once per payment confirmation, so duplicates are unlikely under normal conditions. If you want extra protection, add a second IF condition checking for a unique order ID, or log processed order IDs to a Google Sheet and filter against them before sending to Zendrop.
