Shopify (GraphQL) connector details
The Shopify (GraphQL) connector captures data from your Shopify store’s GraphQL Admin API and streams it into Flow collections in near real time.
- Wide data coverage: Captures products, orders, customers, inventory, fulfillments, refunds, and more.
- GraphQL bulk query support: Uses Shopify’s bulk API to efficiently fetch large datasets without rate-limit issues.
- Flexible authentication: Supports both OAuth sign-in through the Flow web app and manual access tokens.
- Incremental replication: Continuously syncs new and updated records based on a configurable window size.
- Automatic schema mapping: Each Shopify resource maps to its own Flow collection for downstream use.
- Secure and scalable: Handles enterprise-scale Shopify data while maintaining API compliance and reliability.
💡 Note: For Shopify plans below the Grow tier, the API restricts access to customers, orders, and fulfillment_orders streams.

Apache Kafka connector details
The Apache Kafka materialization connector publishes data from Estuary Flow collections to Kafka topics, enabling downstream systems to consume real-time streams of structured, reliable data.
- Continuous streaming: Streams collection updates to Kafka topics in real-time for event-driven architectures and analytics pipelines.
- Flexible message encoding: Supports both Avro (with schema registry) and JSON formats, giving teams flexibility in serialization strategy.
- Secure authentication: Compatible with SASL/PLAIN, SCRAM-SHA-256, and SCRAM-SHA-512 authentication methods, along with TLS encryption.
- Scalable configuration: Allows you to define topic partitions and replication factors for performance and redundancy.
- Schema registry support: Seamlessly integrates with Confluent Cloud or self-hosted schema registries for Avro schema management.
- At-least-once delivery: Ensures reliable message delivery with future support planned for exactly-once semantics.
💡 Tip: When connecting to Confluent Cloud, use the PLAIN SASL mechanism and provide your schema registry key and secret for authentication.
