Shopify as a Source

Overview

Shopify is a popular eCommerce platform that allows businesses to manage online stores. Integrating Shopify as a source in Flxpoint enables the seamless synchronization of products, inventory, and orders between the two platforms. This integration helps streamline order processing, product listings, and inventory updates, ensuring that your Shopify store is always in sync with your Flxpoint account.


How to connect

To set up your own Shopify store as a source, we recommend using the new OAuth2 connection method for a seamless integration.

However, if you're setting up a vendor's Shopify store as a source, OAuth2 should not be used. Instead, the vendor should follow the steps outlined in the "Manually Adding the App" section below and provide the necessary credentials to complete the connection in Flxpoint.

This section will cover the necessary steps to set up connections via OAuth2 and API Key within your Shopify store.
