How to integrate Shopify

Created by Maja Bradonjic, Modified on Thu, 06 Jul 2023 at 06:53 PM by Ivana B

IMPORTANT NOTE:

If you were using the Shopify Integration in the past please note that we changed how our Shopify Integration works and integrates now.

In order for the integration to be functional now you will have to change the configuration in one of the two following ways that we will show in this help article.


There are two ways to integrate Shopify in this article we will be explaining both of them.


The first way to integrate Shopify

The first option is to include our Public app from the Shopify store in your list of apps. This will redirect you to our app, allowing you to create a Shopify Integration without the need to manually enter your credentials.


Step 1: Select the Shopify integration from the integrations menu


Selecting the Shopify integrations

Step 2: Name the Integration


Naming the Integration

Step 3: Press the 'Go to Market' button


Inserting Shop URL and Access token

The following page will open, press the 'Add App' button:


Installing the SyncSpider application

4. Log in to your account and choose your store



a)
Selecting a Shopify account


b)

Selecting the desired Shopify store



Step 5: Installing the App



You will be redirected to your store backend, press the 'Install App' button

Installing the SyncSpider's App


Important Note: Please note that the following API access scopes need to be enabled in order for the Integration to work properly:

read_products 
write_products 
read_inventory 
write_inventory 
read_fulfillments 
write_fulfillments 
read_script_tags 
write_script_tags 
write_orders 
read_orders 
read_customers 
write_customers 
write_merchant_managed_fulfillment_orders 
write_third_party_fulfillment_orders


Step 6: Finalizing the Integration process



Once the App is installed, you will be redirected back to SyncSpider's Shopify Integration panel where your store credentials will be stored automatically.


Finishing the integration process

Press Finish.



The second way to integrate Shopify

 

Step 1.

 

Click on the ‘Integrations’ tab on the left side of the screen as shown in the screenshot below.

 

Selecting the Integration panel


Step 2.

 

You will be able to see all the integrations offered by SyncSpider on your screen. Select the Shopify module.

 

Adding New Integration


Or use the search bar to find it easily:

 

 

Selecting the Shopify Integration


P.S. You can add new integration while Creating a task as well. 

 

 

 

Step 3.

 

After selecting the Shopify app, enter the integration name and description then click on the next button.

 

Naming the Integration


NOTE: You can have more than one integration with one app/tool. E.G. Integrate your Google sheet with business email and WooCommerce. Using descriptions will help you to organize better.

 

Step 4.

 

Now, you need to acquire an API key and API Password ( API Secret Key). The next steps will help you to generate it. 

 

Inserting the credentials


To generate the API key, you would need to log in to your Shopify account. This API key has to be entered so that it facilitates the integration between Sync Spider and Shopify.

Here is the link to the Shopify help file on how to create the API key. You can follow our instructions as well:  

 

Step 5.


Log in to the Shopify account with the credentials. 

 

Logging in to Shopify


Step 6. 

Click on "Apps" -> "Develop Apps for your store".

 

Creating a new App inside Shopify


Step 7.


Click on "Create an App" or use your existing one .

 

Creating a new App inside Shopify

Then name your app and use your email as the App developer email and click on "Create app".

 

Choosing the App Name



Step 8. 

 

Selecting the Configuration

 

There are 2 parts to configuring the App:

 

  1. Admin API integration

  2. Storefront API integration



a) Admin API Integration

Selecting the Admin API integration


If you want to Export data from SyncSpider then check Write.

If you want to Import data from SyncSpider then check Read.

 

Configuring the API scopes

 

 

b) Storefront API integration

 

Selecting the Storefront API integration


The same rule applies to Storefront API as they do to Admin API.

 

Configuring the Storefront API scopes


Step 9. 
API Credentials

 

To obtain your API Credentials, simply go to "API Credentials" and under API Key and API Secret key, you will find the needed credentials to copy and paste to Syncspider.

 

Generating the API key and API secret key

 

Step 10. Access Token

To obtain the Access token you will have to Install the App, to install it first you will have to give read and/or write access in Configuration then Install the app. 

 

Click on "Install App" in the top right corner.

 

Obtaining the Access token

Then click on "Install".

 

Installing the SyncSpider App

After you have installed it, you will gain the Access token under "API Credentials" .

 

Generating the API access token



IMPORTANT NOTE: To protect your data, you’ll only be able to reveal your Admin API token once. Copy and save your Admin API access token in a secure place.

 

 

You can copy and paste Shop URL, Access Token, API key, and API password (API Secret Key) from the Shopify store to your SyncSpider account as shown below.

Then, click save.

 

Inserting the credentials

 
And the integration is successfully integrated.
