DocsGetting started

Get started withShopify change history.

Install Actorly, approve the permissions it asks for and choose a plan on Shopify's billing page. It starts recording straight away, there is nothing to set up and nothing is added to your storefront.

Set up in five steps.

1Install Actorly. Approve the permissions it asks for. Actorly is already watching your store from the moment it is installed.
2Choose a plan. On Shopify's billing page, pick Actorly Watch ($0, free with no trial and no countdown) or Actorly Restore ($29 a month or $240 a year). You can change it later in your Shopify admin.
3Let the first import finish. Overview says Actorly is still building your store history and lists what is still importing. Counts for those parts are incomplete until it finishes.
4Keep working as usual. Your team edits in Shopify the normal way. Actorly records it in the background.
5Open Changes. The changes Shopify reports appear in Changes, each with the value before and after, when it happened and who made it if Shopify reports it.

What Actorly reads first.

Actorly takes a first look at the current value of the products, collections, inventory, discounts, shipping, markets, locations, themes and store settings it tracks, and of the pages, menus, files and other kinds it checks on a schedule. This is your starting point.

Customers, orders, fulfillments, draft orders and selling plans are recorded only from their first change after you install.

Pages, blogs, articles, menus, URL redirects, price lists, policies and files are re-read on a schedule, because Shopify sends no change notice for them: weekly on Watch, daily on Restore. A change to one of those appears at the next check.

Actorly cannot show the old and new values of a change made before you installed it. Shopify does not keep them.

Questions.

Do I need to set anything up?

No. Actorly started recording the moment it was installed, and there is nothing here to set up. You only choose a plan.

Can Actorly show what changed before I installed it?

Actorly cannot show the old and new values of a change made before you installed it. Shopify does not keep them.

Is there a free trial?

No. Actorly Watch is free, with no trial and no countdown. Actorly Restore has no trial either.
