Shopify Automatic Reports: How to Automate Your Shopify Reporting in 2026
Automatically creating Shopify reports means connecting to the Shopify API once and generating professional PDF reports without manual exports — monthly, for as many clients as needed. This guide explains which Shopify reports can be automated and how to do it efficiently.
Which Shopify Reports Can Be Automated
Almost all Shopify reports can be automated: monthly revenue reports, customer development reports, product performance reports, marketing channel reports and complete business reports combining all metrics. The difference lies in the degree of automation and the data sources included.
Three Approaches to Automating Shopify Reports
Shopify Admin API directly: Full control but high development effort. Requires programming knowledge and ongoing maintenance.
Google Sheets + Shopify connector: Moderate complexity, monthly connector costs (Supermetrics from €99/month). Good for teams comfortable with spreadsheets.
Specialized reporting tool (Kontrollytics): No development needed. Direct API access to Shopify, Stripe and GA4. 15-minute setup. First report in 3 minutes. Best for agencies managing multiple clients.
Automated Shopify Reports for Agencies
For agencies, the third option is clearly the most economical: Kontrollytics connects to each client's Shopify store, Stripe account and GA4 once, then delivers monthly professional PDF reports automatically under the agency's logo. No manual intervention required — reports go out to all clients simultaneously.
