How to connect Product Operations Order Operations

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

📋 Phase 1: Initial Channel Setup +
Access Sales Channels
Log in to your Flxpoint account and navigate to the Sales Channels section.
Create a New Channel
Click "+" to Create Channel.
Tip: Have your Shopify store URL ready for the connection process.
Select Shopify and Name Channel
In the Channel Setup screen:
  • Search for Shopify and select it.
  • Enter a descriptive Channel Name (e.g., "Shopify Store").
  • Click Save to continue.
Start the Integration Process
After creating the channel, you’ll see "No integrations created yet." Click Get Started to launch the setup wizard.
Shopify Integration Setup
🔐 Phase 2: Authentication & Connection +
Important Note: The recommended method for connecting Shopify to Flxpoint is via OAuth2, which securely authorizes the connection without manual credential entry. Use Bearer Token or Basic Auth only if OAuth2 is unavailable (e.g., for vendors using Shopify as a source).
Select the Integration Type
In the Connect to Your Shopify Store section, select API - Shopify App (OAuth2) for secure authorization, or choose API - Bearer Token or API - Basic Auth for manual credential entry.
Connect Your Account
For OAuth2:
  • Enter your Store URL (e.g., https://your-store-name.myshopify.com). Find this in Shopify Admin under Settings > Domains or in your browser’s address bar when logged into Shopify Admin.
  • Click Initiate OAuth2 Flow and follow prompts to log in to Shopify and grant Flxpoint access.
For Bearer Token or Basic Auth, if OAuth2 is unavailable (e.g., for vendors):
  • Log in to Shopify Admin at https://www.shopify.com/login.
  • Go to Apps > Develop apps for your store and enable custom app development if prompted.
  • Click Create an app, name it (e.g., "Flxpoint Integration"), and create it.
  • In API Credentials, generate an Admin API access token with permissions for products, orders, and inventory.
  • Copy the API Key, API Secret Key, and Admin API access token.
Important: Use the .myshopify.com URL (e.g., https://cool-gadgets.myshopify.com), not your custom domain (e.g., coolgadgets.com).
Authorize Access
For OAuth2, no further credentials are needed after authorization. For Bearer Token or Basic Auth:
  • Set a Connection Name (e.g., "Shopify Connection #1").
  • For Bearer Token, paste the Admin API access token into the Token field.
  • For Basic Auth, enter the API Key and API Secret Key.
  • Input your Store URL.
  • Click Test Connection and then Continue if successful.
Troubleshooting: If the connection fails, verify credentials, permissions, and Store URL format.
Verify Connection
Review connection details in the Flxpoint setup screen to ensure accuracy, then proceed.
Shopify API Rate Limits: Shopify enforces API rate limits to ensure platform stability. Details at Shopify API Rate Limits:
  • REST API: 2 requests/sec, 4 requests/sec for Shopify Plus.
  • GraphQL: 50 points/sec.
  • OAuth2: Exempt from rate limits; optimize with Flxpoint sync schedules.
🔄 Phase 3: SKU Mapping & Configuration +
Set Up SKU Mapping
Configure Import Listings to align with your inventory:
  • Set new listings to Paused for review before publishing.
  • Map your internal Master SKU to Shopify’s listing SKU.
Pro Tip: Use consistent SKU naming (e.g., "PROD-123" internally and "SHOP-PROD-123" on Shopify) for easier inventory management.
Configure Integration Settings
Set up automated features:
  • Publish Listings: Shopify uses GraphQL; map categories to global IDs from Shopify Product Taxonomy (e.g., "Consumer Electronics"). Adjust settings like "Truncate Title to 255."
  • Order Sync: Select statuses (e.g., Open) and time range for Get Orders. Orders with or without a Location ID are saved unless disabled in Advance Config.
  • TikTok Shop (Optional): In Shopify Admin, install a TikTok Shop app, connect your store, and verify listings can be published via Flxpoint.
Click Save to finalize.
Note: TikTok Shop integration is optional and only needed if selling on that platform.
Complete Setup
Review settings and click Confirm & Finish. In Sales Channels, start Import Listings, Get Orders, and check Sync and Link Listings and Publish Listings.
Next Steps: Run processes manually to verify sync accuracy before enabling automation.

Get Inventory (Primary)

Supported | Shopify - Get Inventory (Primary)

Introduction to Shopify Get Inventory (Primary)
Welcome to the Shopify Get Inventory (Primary) integration guide! This integration retrieves inventory data from Shopify into Flxpoint, fetching product lists and inventory levels for a specified location. It ensures accurate inventory tracking across your Shopify store by syncing product and variant details, including quantities, with Flxpoint’s Global Inventory Pool (GIP). Let’s get started!

The Shopify Get Inventory (Primary) integration enables you to:
  • Fetch product lists and inventory levels from Shopify for a specified location.
  • Sync inventory quantities with Flxpoint’s Global Inventory Pool (GIP) for centralized management.
  • Support multi-location inventory by associating quantities with the correct Shopify Location ID.
  • Map Shopify product and variant fields to Flxpoint inventory fields for accurate data integration.
This ensures consistent inventory tracking and management across your sales channels.

The integration follows these steps:
  • 1 Connecting to Shopify: Establish a connection using OAuth2 authentication to access your Shopify store.
  • 2 Fetching Product List: A GET call to /admin/api/{version}/products.json retrieves the product list for all locations.
  • 3 Extracting Inventory Item IDs: Creates a list of inventory_item_id values from the fetched products.
  • 4 Retrieving Inventory Levels: A GET call to /admin/api/{version}/inventory_levels.json?location_ids=xxxxxx fetches inventory levels for the specified location using the list of inventory_item_id.
  • 5 Mapping Data: Maps Shopify product and variant data to Flxpoint inventory fields using a mapping template.
  • 6 Saving Quantities: Updates quantities in Flxpoint’s Global Inventory Pool (GIP) based on the retrieved inventory levels.
Pro Tip: Ensure the specified Location ID matches the intended Shopify inventory location for accurate quantity syncing.
Note: This integration fetches inventory for a single location per sync; repeat for additional locations as needed.

Customize the integration with these settings:
  • Connection: Select your Shopify OAuth connection (e.g., “Shopify Connection API - Shopify App (OAuth2)”).
  • Location ID: Specify the Shopify inventory location ID to retrieve inventory levels (required).
  • Mapping Template: Define how Shopify product and variant fields map to Flxpoint inventory fields (see Mapping Template Details).
  • Sync Frequency: Run manually or schedule syncs (e.g., daily at 6 AM UTC).
Note: Verify the Location ID in Shopify to ensure inventory levels are fetched for the correct location.

Follow these steps:
  • 1 Add the Integration: Go to Channels > Shopify > Integrations, select “Get Inventory (Primary).”
  • 2 Connect to Shopify: Select an existing Shopify OAuth connection or set up a new one.
  • 3 Configure Settings:
    • Specify the Location ID for inventory retrieval.
    • Configure sync frequency (e.g., daily at 6 AM UTC).

Flxpoint supports Shopify’s multi-location inventory for accurate fulfillment requests:
  • Location ID Requirement: Specify a Location ID in Flxpoint to route fulfillment requests to the correct Shopify location. Refer to Shopify’s guide on managing locations.
  • Single Location Per Request: The integration sends fulfillment requests for one location per job, using the specified Location ID in the API call.
Pro Tip: Configure multiple integration jobs with different Location IDs to handle fulfillment across all Shopify locations.

Be aware of these constraints:
  • Single Location Per Request: Fulfillment requests are sent for one location per job; multiple jobs are needed for multiple locations.
  • Order Dependency: Requires an existing order in Shopify; orders must be imported via Shopify Get Orders integration first.
  • API Rate Limits: Shopify API rate limits may affect large fulfillment request batches; monitor usage to avoid interruptions.
  • Custom Fields Limit: Order Note Attributes support up to 2 custom fields.

Troubleshoot issues with these steps:
  • Fulfillment Request Not Sent: Verify the Location ID is correct and matches a valid Shopify location.
  • Missing Line Items: Ensure Shopify Line Item SKU and Fulfillable Quantity are mapped in the template.
  • API Errors: Check for Shopify API rate limit issues; reduce sync frequency if needed.
  • Order Not Found: Confirm the order exists in Shopify; if not, import it using Shopify Get Orders integration:
    Error: Order not found in Shopify for fulfillment request
  • Address Issues: Verify billing and shipping address mappings to ensure all required fields are populated.
Diagnostic Tip: Fulfillment failures often result from unmapped SKU/Quantity fields or missing orders in Shopify.

Key information:
  • Date: As of 09:03 PM -04, May 29, 2025, this integration is operational.
  • Required Fields: Line Item SKU and Fulfillable Quantity must be mapped.
  • API Limits: Monitor Shopify API rate limits to avoid sync interruptions.
Pro Tip: Map SKU, Fulfillable Quantity, Billing Address, and Shipping Address, and verify Location ID for reliable fulfillment requests.

Conclusion
The Shopify Send Fulfillment Requests integration streamlines order fulfillment by enabling Flxpoint to send detailed fulfillment requests to Shopify. With support for multi-location inventory and comprehensive field mappings, it ensures accurate and efficient order processing across your sales channels. Happy fulfilling!

 

 
 

Get Shipments

Supported | Shopify - Get Shipments

Introduction to Shopify Get Shipments
Welcome to the Shopify Get Shipments integration guide! This integration retrieves shipment data from Shopify into Flxpoint, syncing fulfillment details such as tracking numbers, carriers, and shipment statuses. It ensures that Flxpoint’s records reflect the latest shipping information for orders, enabling accurate tracking and order management across your sales channels. Let’s get started!

The Shopify Get Shipments integration enables you to:
  • Fetch shipment data from Shopify, including tracking numbers, carriers, and shipment statuses.
  • Sync fulfillment details with Flxpoint for centralized order tracking.
  • Support multi-location inventory by retrieving shipments for specific Shopify locations.
  • Map Shopify shipment fields to Flxpoint fields for accurate data integration.
This ensures consistent shipment tracking and management across your sales channels.

The integration follows these steps:
  • 1 Connecting to Shopify: Establish a connection using OAuth2 authentication to access your Shopify store.
  • 2 Fetching Fulfillment Data: A GET call to /admin/api/{version}/fulfillments.json retrieves fulfillment records for orders, optionally filtered by Location ID.
  • 3 Retrieving Order Details: Fetches associated order data (e.g., shipping cost, order status) linked to the fulfillments.
  • 4 Mapping Data: Maps Shopify fulfillment and order data to Flxpoint shipment fields (e.g., Tracking Number, Carrier) using a mapping template.
  • 5 Updating Flxpoint Records: Updates Flxpoint with the retrieved shipment data for tracking and order management.
Pro Tip: Ensure the specified Location ID matches the intended Shopify fulfillment location for accurate shipment retrieval.
Note: This integration requires existing fulfillments in Shopify; ensure orders are fulfilled or synced via Shopify Sync Orders integration.

Customize the integration with these settings:
  • Connection: Select your Shopify OAuth connection (e.g., “Shopify Connection API - Shopify App (OAuth2)”).
  • Location ID: Specify the Shopify inventory location ID to retrieve shipments (optional; if omitted, fetches all locations).
  • Mapping Template: Define how Shopify shipment fields map to Flxpoint fields (see Mapping Template Details).
  • Sync Frequency: Run manually or schedule syncs (e.g., daily at 6 AM UTC).
Note: Verify the Location ID in Shopify to ensure shipments are fetched for the correct location.

Follow these steps:
  • 1 Add the Integration: Go to Channels > Shopify > Integrations, select “Get Shipments.”
  • 2 Connect to Shopify: Select an existing Shopify OAuth connection or set up a new one.
  • 3 Configure Settings:
    • Specify the Location ID for shipment retrieval (optional).
    • Configure sync frequency (e.g., daily at 6 AM UTC).
  • 4 Create Mapping Template: Configure field mappings for shipment data (see Mapping Template Details).
  • 5 Run the Integration: Start with Run Sync or schedule automatic syncs.

Mapping templates control how Shopify shipment data is imported into Flxpoint.
Interface Overview
  • Screen labeled “Get Shipments” at the top; name your template (e.g., “Shopify Get Shipments 1”).
  • Buttons: Delete, Duplicate, Save Mapping.
  • Sections: Shipment Fields (e.g., Carrier, Tracking Number).
  • Columns: Shopify fields (left, e.g., Shopify Fulfillment Tracking Number), Flxpoint fields (right, e.g., Tracking Number).
Mapping Options
  • Don't Map: Ignore the field; no data is imported to Flxpoint.
  • Set To Empty: Clear the field in Flxpoint.
  • Field: Map a Shopify field to a Flxpoint field (e.g., Shopify Fulfillment Tracking Number to Flxpoint Tracking Number).
  • Value: Set a static value (e.g., Carrier to “UPS”).
  • Mapping Set: Apply a predefined mapping set for complex mappings.
  • Rules: Apply conditional logic (e.g., map Shipped At only if Status is “shipped”).
Tracking Number Mapping Requirement
The Shopify Fulfillment Tracking Number field must be mapped to ensure proper shipment tracking in Flxpoint.
  • Required Field: Tracking Number uniquely identifies shipments.
  • Error Scenario: Unmapped Tracking Number may cause shipment sync failures:
    Invalid request: Missing required field 'Tracking Number' for shipment sync
  • Fix: Go to Channels > Shopify > Templates > Get Shipments > Field Mapping, map Shopify Fulfillment Tracking Number to Flxpoint Tracking Number, save, and re-run sync.
Recommendation: Always map Tracking Number, Tracking URL, Carrier, and Shipped At for reliable shipment tracking.
