Connect Shopify

With Shopify connected, your store’s catalog and customers come into Cord and stay current. You quote wholesale with the prices and SKUs you already have, without typing them again.

Cord only reads from your store. It does not change prices, inventory, or orders in Shopify.

Connect it

1. Go to Settings › Integrations › Shopify. You need the Settings permission.
2. Type your store domain, the one ending in myshopify.com. You’ll find it in Shopify › Settings › Domains.
3. Click Connect Shopify. It takes you to Shopify to authorize the app, where you can see exactly what it asks for: read products and read customers.
4. When you return, the card says connected. The first sync takes a few minutes depending on catalog size.

What it brings, and how

• Products: each Shopify variant is a product in Cord, because that is what has its own price and SKU. A shirt with three sizes arrives as three products.
• Customers: the company comes from the customer’s company in Shopify; if there is none, from the person’s name. If that email already exists in your client list, Cord does not duplicate it: it recognizes it and fills in what’s missing.
• Kept current: when you change a product or customer in Shopify, Cord updates it within seconds. A product deleted in Shopify is deactivated in Cord, not deleted: it may sit inside a quote you already sent.
• Sync now: the button on the card reads the whole catalog again. Useful right after connecting, or whenever something looks off.

Disconnect

From the same card, with Disconnect. The products and customers already imported stay in Cord, like any other data of yours; they simply stop updating. If you uninstall the app from Shopify, Cord finds out on its own and marks the connection as disconnected.

If something fails

• “Type your store domain”: you used your own domain (mystore.com). Shopify authenticates with its own, the one ending in myshopify.com.
• “We could not verify the response came from Shopify”: the install return arrived without the right signature or too late. Start again from Cord, not from a saved link.
• The card says it needs reconnecting: someone uninstalled the app in Shopify or changed its permissions. Connect it again from Cord.
