How can merchants monitor third-party app API activity in Shopify?

8 views 0

Yes. Merchants can monitor third-party app API activity using Shopify Anomaly Detection solution by miniOrange.

A third-party app may have legitimate access to products, customers, orders, themes, or webhooks. The risk appears when it uses unexpected operations, accesses the store from a new location, generates an unusual volume of requests, or holds permissions that it does not actively need.

Shopify Anomaly Detection helps merchants to:

  • Record API activity performed by installed apps and integrations.
  • Identify which app performed each operation, including mutations and high-risk actions.
  • Compare granted API scopes with the app’s actual behaviour.
  • Detect unusual patterns such as new IP addresses, abnormal access times, or request spikes.
  • Assign a composite risk score to suspicious activity.

Monitoring should be combined with regular app access reviews. Remove unused applications, revoke unnecessary scopes, and investigate apps whose behaviour changes unexpectedly.
