Shopify integration using make.com with Google Cloud storage for an E-commerce company
About The Company:
The client is a growing e-commerce business operating with Shopify stores, offering a diverse range of products to a global audience.
Customer Challenges:
Managing multiple storefronts is critical to their success, but they struggled with operational inefficiencies in product image management. The client faced several challenges in managing product images:
- Manual Uploading: Product images had to be uploaded manually to each Shopify store, consuming significant time and increasing the risk of human errors.
- Multi-Store Synchronization: Maintaining uniformity in product images across three Shopify stores was resource-intensive and error-prone.
- Complex Image Deletion: It was cumbersome to delete unused images from the cloud drive while ensuring their removal from Shopify, leading to a cluttered storage system.
These challenges not only hampered the client’s efficiency but also restricted their ability to scale operations effectively.
Solutions:
With ambitions to scale further, the client was looking for a solution to streamline their processes while maintaining consistency across all stores. To overcome these challenges, we leveraged Make.com to build a seamless integration between Shopify and Google Cloud Storage. The solution included four key automated workflows:
- Image Upload Automation
We automated the uploading of product images to their respective Shopify stores, ensuring speed and precision. This workflow eliminated manual intervention, saving time and reducing errors.

An automated synchronization process was implemented to ensure consistent product images across all three Shopify stores, providing a cohesive customer experience.
- Error Handling and Recovery
Robust error detection mechanisms were integrated to identify and reattempt failed uploads automatically, ensuring reliability in operations.

A system was developed to automatically remove images from the Google Cloud drive when they were deleted from Shopify, maintaining an organized and clutter-free storage environment.
