Shopify Sync Overview

Connect your Shopify store and keep inventory in sync automatically

Shopify Sync

Shopify store connection — add your store and authorize access

SKU Manager's Shopify integration provides real-time, two-way synchronization between your Shopify store and your warehouse operations.

Connecting Your Store

  1. Go to Settings → Organization → Shopify
  2. Enter your Shopify store URL (e.g. my-store.myshopify.com)
  3. Click Install App — you'll be redirected to Shopify to authorize access
  4. Once authorized, the initial product and inventory import begins automatically

Sync Frequency

  • Real-time webhooks handle new orders and inventory changes immediately
  • Periodic reconciliation runs every 15 minutes to catch any missed events
  • A full sync can be triggered manually from Settings → Organization → Shopify

Handling Conflicts

When the same inventory level is updated in both Shopify and SKU Manager within the same sync window, SKU Manager's value wins. This prevents overselling from stale Shopify data.

Pausing Sync

To temporarily pause synchronization (e.g. during a stocktake), go to Settings → Organization → Shopify and pause syncing. Orders will still be imported; inventory pushes are suspended.

Troubleshooting

If products are missing after connection, check:

  • The Shopify app has read/write permission for Products and Inventory
  • The store is on an active Shopify plan
  • No duplicate SKUs exist across your product catalogue

For persistent issues, view the sync history under Settings → Organization → Shopify.
