By integrating Shopify, you can effectively manage your inventory, track your sales, and streamline your operations. Let's get started!

Introduction

In today's digital world, having an online presence for your business is crucial. One of the most popular e-commerce platforms is Shopify, which allows you to create and customize your online store easily. By integrating Shopify with StoreHub, you can seamlessly sync your inventory, sales, and customer data, making it easier to manage your business.

Adding Shopify as a Sales Channel in StoreHub

To add Shopify as a sales channel in StoreHub, follow these steps:

1. Log in to your StoreHub account and navigate to the "Sources" tab.
2. Click on the "Sales Channel" tab and then click on "Add a Channel".
3. You will be presented with a choice of sales channels to add. Select Shopify.
4. The first step is to give your Shopify store a name. This is important for identification purposes within StoreHub.
5. Depending on the accounting software you have selected, choose the warehouse from which you want to sync stock and prices.
6. If your accounting software supports multi-warehouses, select the appropriate warehouse for stock and price sync.
7. The same applies to the warehouse for orders. StoreHub will write back orders to this warehouse.
8. Since the Shopify integration is a retail integration, only one set of prices is synced to and from Shopify. Select the retail prices you want to use.
9. At this point, you can choose your cash sales customer. This is the account against which all orders generated on Shopify will be raised.
10. Define the service shipping item, which is a service item created in your accounting software. The cost of shipping generated by your courier plugin or delivery methods on Shopify will be allocated to this item on your sales invoice.
11. If you plan to have more than one sales channel on StoreHub, you can change the order prefix to easily identify in your accounting software which store the order came from.
12. Select how you want stock and price to push through to your Shopify channel. You can choose to unselect the stock push if you do not want it to sync.
13. If you wish to have back orders raised in your accounting software, select the corresponding option.
14. Keep the StoreHub manager stock on your Shopify sales channel as it is.
15. Set the stock threshold to reserve a certain number of items outside of your e-commerce environment for non-payment gateway orders.
16. For non-payment gateway orders, choose the sales document type that gets raised in your accounting software. We recommend using a quote to retain flexibility.
17. Finally, enter your site domain and API password, which you can collect from inside Shopify.

API Setup in Shopify

Setting up the API in Shopify is a crucial step in the integration process. Here's a brief guide:

1. Log in to your Shopify account and navigate to the "Apps" section.
2. Create a new private app and give it a name like "StoreHub."
3. Enter the StoreHub support address as the emergency developer email.
4. Customize the admin API permissions, providing read and write access to inventory, merchant-managed fulfillment orders, order editing, and products.
5. Save your changes and create the app. You will then be given the admin API credentials, including the API key, password, example URL, and shared secret.
6. Copy the URL up to the ".com" and paste it into StoreHub as the API URL.
7. Copy the API password and paste it into StoreHub.
8. Finally, submit the form to update product price, stock, and fetch all orders generated on Shopify.
