Shopify Overview

Fauxlio mirrors Shopify's API structure, making it easy to develop, test, and validate your apps against realistic, synthetic data - without touching a live Shopify store.

What You Get

  • Read access to Shopify-like APIs for Products, Variants, Customers, Orders, Inventory, Locations and more.
  • Data that's realistic and randomized - perfect for testing workflows.
  • No risk to production: everything runs in a safe, isolated sandbox.

How Data is Generated

Fauxlio generates synthetic data that mimics Shopify's data structure. Data is generated peridoically throughout the day, ensuring you always have fresh, realistic data to work with. The data includes:

  • Customers with realistic names, emails, and addresses.
  • Products with titles, descriptions, and images.
  • Orders with order numbers, dates, and statuses.
  • Inventory with item quantities and locations.

General Limitations

  • The GraphQL API is currently read-only. This means you can read data but cannot create, update, or delete any records.
  • Recursive queries are not supported. You can query related edges and nodes, but you can't query relationships that loop back on themselves.
  • The sorting field "Relevance" is not supported. Other fields work as expected.
  • Bulk operations are not yet supported.
  • Range queries are currently not supported (e.g., order_date:'2024-01-01..2024-03-31')
  • Any fields deprecated as of 2025-04 will not be available.
  • Publications and related types are not yet supported.
