Table of Contents

If you still copy and paste new customer details from Jotform into Shopify, stop. There’s a faster way. By setting up your own Create Shopify Customers from Jotform Responses workflow, Workload will do all of the work for you from now on, exactly the way you want it done.

This no-code integration starts the moment someone submits a response to your form. You then customize the workflow to pick out only the fields you need and then format the data. Finally, it sends all of the information you want straight into Shopify. You speed up onboarding and keep your teams in sync. Most importantly, you save time so you can focus on more important aspects of your business.
