Shopify
The Shopify connector for Zynk allows you to export your orders, customers and products from your Shopify site and then process them with Zynk. It also allows you to create and update customers amongst other operations.
Each of the tasks require a connection to Shopify, for more information on setting up and managing connections see Shopify Connection.
Note
This connector implements the Zynk rest client, which means that you can enable the 'Log Debug Messages' in the Zynk common task settings to log API requests and responses to the working directory.
This is useful when debugging issues as you can see the information Zynk is passing to and receiving from the external REST interface.
Supported Plans
Zynk will work with all Shopify stores, regardless of which price plan they are on. But you must ensure you are using the correct connector within Zynk.
- Shopify Plus - Use the 'Shopify Plus' tasks and connection within Zynk.
- All other price plans - Use the 'Shopify Standard' tasks and connection within Zynk.
If you have selected the wrong connector within Zynk, or your price plan has changed, you will see an error similar to this: This store is on Shopify Plus. Please use the Shopify Plus connection and tasks instead of Shopify Standard.. Please contact our support team for information about how to resolve this error.
Note
Shopify Basic doesn't currently allow you to export PII (Personally Identifiable Information) via custom apps through their APIs. So Orders, Customers and other objects may have limited data access. Visit the Compare All Plans Shopify page for more information.
Every other current Shopify plan, Grow, Advanced and Plus allow custom apps to export the data.
REST vs GraphQL
Shopify have announced that their REST API is deprecated. All new integrations should be built using our GraphQL API based tasks. We recommend that existing integrations that were built using our REST API based tasks are migrated to the equivalent GraphQL tasks.
You can check which API your integration is using by looking at the 'Task Type' setting on each of the Shopify tasks in your workflow, and comparing it to the table below.
