Shopify Integration - Order Management and Inventory Control

Content


Overview

This document describes how to set up Shopify within Linnworks. Here you can also find information about what functions Linnworks can perform while working with Shopify and how to configure this channel.

Setting up Shopify integration

Shopify integration allows the system to:

  • Automatically download new orders
  • Update the status of orders
  • Submit fulfilment data
  • Synchronise stock levels

To set up Shopify Order Book integration go to Settings > Channel Integration. From this screen you can add, delete and modify selling channels that you wish Linnworks to integrate with.

Click the Add new channel button on the right of the screen to bring up the New Channel selection screen. Now select Shopify from the list and click Integrate.

You will be presented with the Shopify Integration Config screen which will walk you through the process of integrating your Shopify account within Linnworks.

On this screen you need to enter your sites URL and your API details. Your API details can be obtained by following these steps:

  • Log into the admin area of your Shopify site
  • Go to Apps > Manage Apps
  • Next to “Are you a developer interested in creating a private application for your shop?” click the Click Here link
  • Copy the API Key, Password and Shared Secret fields.

Once you have copied the API Key details across and filled in all of the fields on this window click the Save button, remembering to Test the connection first.

Note: Your site url needs to be your shopify subdomain NOT your website domain. For example linnworks.myshopify.com

Configuring Shopify Integration

Once you have set up your Shopify account to work with Linnworks it will appear in the list of channels on the Channel Integration screen. From here you can enable / disable integration and inventory sync for each individual channel as well as configuration and inventory mapping tools.

Enabled

To enable / disable individual channel integration within Linnworks, simply click the small circle in the Enabled column that corresponds to the channel you wish to alter. A green light means that the channel is enabled in Linnworks, while a red light denotes that it is disabled.

Inventory Sync

The same process applies to the Inventory Sync function, clicking a circle will toggle between enabled and disabled for the specified channel. A green light means that the Linnworks will sync inventory with this channel while a red light indicates that it will not.

Config

Clicking the Config button for a specified channel will bring up the Account Config menu for that channel.

This is the same screen that appears when you first set up Shopify Integration. From here you can make changes to the settings, remembering to Test and click Save when you have finished making alterations.
