How to Send The Events Calendar Data to Shopify

Shopify is a e-commerce platform. Here is how to pipe The Events Calendar event straight into Shopify using Advanced Form Integration. The setup takes about five minutes and runs entirely on your own server.

Skip the automation middleman

Rather than routing data through a third-party cloud, AFI sends it directly from your WordPress server to e-commerce. No task meter, no monthly bill.

What you will need

• A WordPress site with The Events Calendar installed and configured.
• A Shopify account.
• The Advanced Form Integration plugin (free from WordPress.org).

Connect Shopify to AFI

Shopify uses OAuth 2.0 for authentication. In AFI → Settings → Shopify, click Authorize and grant access. This is a one-time step.

Setting up the integration

1. Create a new integration

Go to AFI → Add New. Name it The Events Calendar to Shopify.

2. Pick your trigger

Select The Events Calendar as the form provider. AFI fires when an event RSVP or ticket order is submitted, giving you access to attendee name, email, event title, event date, ticket type, and order total.

3. Select Shopify as the destination

Choose Shopify from the platform dropdown and pick Create Customer. This creates a customer in Shopify.

4. Map fields

Match each Shopify field on the left to the corresponding The Events Calendar field on the right. Common mappings include attendee name, email, event title, event date, ticket type, and order total. You can also use smart tags like {{_submission_date}}.

5. Add conditions if needed

Only want to send certain records? Set up a conditional rule based on any field value.

6. Save and test

Click Save Integration. Trigger a test event in The Events Calendar. Check Shopify to confirm the data arrived. If anything looks wrong, open AFI → Log to see the exact request and response.

Free vs Pro

The free version maps name, email, and phone to Shopify with unlimited records. Pro adds custom field mapping. No per-record fees on any plan.
