Arigato Automation

What Arigato Automation is

Arigato Automation is an automation app for Shopify stores, made by Bonify, LLC, whose site is copyrighted for 2026 and carries "Find us on Shopify" in the footer. It is a workflow builder aimed at store data: orders, products, customers and inventory, with workflows you can also start by hand from inside the Shopify admin. The company's headline promise is automation that goes "from no-code to custom code", so a merchant can start with simple blocks and move into scripting, API calls and AI help on the same tool. The home page sums up the range in one line: "Use simple tools, write custom logic, tap into AI, call APIs", and promises to save hours every week with automation that adapts to how you work.

The reader it is written for is a Shopify merchant or a small store operations team that is tired of repeating the same manual steps. The home page says the app is "trusted by thousands of innovative brands", a claim from the company's own site.

What you build and how

A workflow is a chain that starts with a trigger and ends with actions. The home page's own example reads: when an order is paid, send an email, add rows to a Google spreadsheet, archive the order, and the workflow is complete. The company says you build these with a visual builder, and its article on choosing a Shopify automation tool states that "you can automate almost any action inside Shopify without touching code."

The home page describes 4 ways a workflow starts:

• React to an event in the store, such as getting an order or creating a new product.
• Run a one-time batch, where Bulk Operations process a repetitive group of changes at once. The article adds that batch workflows can update large groups of orders, products or customers in one go.
• Click a button and run on demand, with workflows you start yourself from inside the Shopify admin.
• Run on a schedule, for time-sensitive automations. The article gives daily inventory reports and weekly data cleanups as examples.

The article lists the event triggers it has in mind as order paid, product updated and customer tagged, and says workflows can use dynamic conditions.

The coverage list on the home page is wide. Automations can handle email marketing, inventory management, order tracking and notifications, customer communication, order fulfillment, integration with external platforms, fraud prevention and risk management, customer tagging and segmentation, and product management and organization. The article spells a few of those out: post-purchase email flows, low-stock alerts, order routing and fulfillment updates, fraud risk detection and flagging, and creating, updating and archiving products.

For people who want more control, the site has a section aimed at developers and what it calls super users. It names 3 tools. Custom Actions let you "go deep" with your own logic. GraphQL actions let you make Shopify GraphQL queries and mutations, and the site also links documentation for a Shopify REST API action. HTTP Request actions let you "call any REST API with your own code." Each has documentation and example workflows linked from the site, and the navigation includes a Code Docs section. The article adds webhooks, Liquid variables and Shopify API calls to the list of advanced options, and the home page says the assistant can write Twig code for you. The article frames the point of all this as control: you decide when workflows run, what conditions trigger them, and how tasks are logged and tracked.

An AI layer sits on top. The home page introduces Mr. Arigato, an AI workflow assistant you can chat with "anytime 24/7", who "can craft emails, write Twig code, write API calls, and much more." The article also describes an AI-powered Workflow Builder that suggests new automations based on your goals, and the home page's strategy-session pitch names AI-powered workflows next to simple no-code time savers.

Integrations are shown as a strip with a link to each: Klaviyo, IFTTT, Email, Twilio, Trello, Google Sheets, Slack, Shopify Flow, SendGrid, Mailchimp, Zapier and Airtable, plus an "Explore All Integrations" page. Having Shopify Flow, Zapier and IFTTT on that list means Arigato can sit alongside tools a store already runs. The Workflow Library holds ready-made templates, and the home page highlights 7 popular ones: send order information to Google Sheets on payment, export daily sales to Google Sheets, monitor product publication timestamps across sales channels, track price changes in Google Sheets for wholesale customers, receive an email when a new product is added, tag orders based on source channel, and send email alerts for quick shipping requests. Each template has a page to learn more and a button to start from it, and a Show All link opens the full library.

On visibility, the article says you get "full task histories, dynamic conditions, and batch operations", which it presents as what keeps workflows "transparent and easy to manage." What the shopper experiences is simply the outcome: a tagged order, a notification, an updated sheet or a changed product. Nothing here is published to the public as an app or a site.

What the pages say about plans and claims

The site's text prints no prices. The navigation has a Pricing link, and the home page offers "Install For FREE" and "Start for Free on Shopify", so there is a free way to begin; the Mr. Arigato assistant also carries a "Start for free" button. Installation runs through the Shopify app listing, linked as "Find us on Shopify".

Other evidence is mostly feature claims. The company's article argues that the right tool "gives you flexibility, control, and the ability to automate your business the way you actually run it", and describes starting simple and scaling into complexity "without switching tools." Support options are listed in the navigation as Support, a Help Center and Feature Requests, and the home page offers a "Book a Strategy Session" where the company says it will talk through ideas. The footer links Privacy, Terms, DPP and DPA documents, and names Arigato Automation as a trademark of Bonify, LLC.

Who it suits and who it does not

Arigato suits a Shopify merchant who wants one tool that covers the whole store rather than only marketing emails or only checkout events. The mix of visual builder, scheduled and on-demand runs, and bulk batches fits a team that handles a lot of repetitive admin: tagging orders by channel, logging sales to a sheet, watching inventory, flagging risky orders. It also suits a store with a developer or a technically inclined owner, because Custom Actions, GraphQL and HTTP requests give a clear way out of the no-code layer when a workflow needs real logic, and the AI assistant can draft that code.

It is a narrower fit for anyone not on Shopify, since the product and its integrations are built around the Shopify admin. A merchant who wants a published app, a customer portal or a storefront builder will need other tools, because Arigato automates the store rather than building the front end. And a non-technical owner should expect the deeper features, GraphQL and templating in particular, to need some learning even with the assistant's help.
