First, please note that you can follow these steps; however, we are happy to have our tech team do all of this for you to save you the trouble. All we need is developer access, which we can request once we have your Shopify URL and your four-digit developer code. We recommend instead of syncing the products automatically, you turn that off and set up a "sales channel" first. There are instructions for this on another thread, which is linked below.
Features:
It lets you sync your Shopify store products with the marketplace.
The inventory will be synced with the marketplace.
The fulfillment partner needs to create a private app on his/her Shopify store and configure the details in his/her partner panel.
Orders & inventory will be synced on both the marketplace & the partner's Shopify end.
Partners can now update products in bulk from the “products” section of the partner app.
The partners can register webbooks on their own based on their permission.
Compatible with the partial fulfillment feature.
Smart collections can now be imported into the marketplace from the partner's Shopify store.
Tags can be mapped via CSV file upload.
To make the product sync features work, the partner first needs to create a custom app on their Shopify store.
Step 1: The partner needs to log in to their Shopify account and create a custom app from the “apps” section.
Step 2: Click on “create an app” and enter the name of the app.
After entering the name of the app, click on “Create app”.
Step 3: After creating the custom app, the partner needs to configure Admin APIs by clicking on “configure Admin API scopes”.
Now, the partner needs to provide the required permission for the custom app.
Mandatory Permission to create the custom app as a sales channel:
REQUIRED PERMISSIONS FOR CUSTOM APP
Here are the required permissions for the custom partner app:
Assigned fulfillment orders (Read and write)
# write_assigned_fulfillment_orders , read_assigned_fulfillment_orders
Fulfillment services (Read and write)
# read_fulfillments, write_fulfillments
Inventory (Read and write)
# read_inventory, write_inventory
Locations (Read Access)
# read_locations
Order Editing (Read and write)
# read_orders, write_orders
Allow this permission if you want to sync the order details with the partner store once edited on the merchant’s store; don’t allow it.
Orders (Read and write)
# read_orders, write_orders
Products (Read and write)
# read_products, write_product
Required Permission for Sales Channel Configuration
#write_product_listings, #read_product_listings
Storefront API access scopes:
#unauthenticated_read_product_listings
Note: These permissions are mandatory for Sales Channel Configuration.
After providing the required permission, click on Save.
Once, the permissions are saved, the partner will get an option to install the custom app.
The partner needs to install the app by clicking on the “install app” button.
Step 4: After installing the app, the partner will get the access token, API key, and secret key.
Now, the partner needs to copy the access token, API key, and secret key and paste them into the “partner sync app configuration” on their marketplace partner panel.
Partner Panel
After installing the custom app on the partner's Shopify store, the partner has the access token, API key, and secret key which he/she needs to paste into the “seller sync app configuration”.
Partner Panel >> configuration >> partner sync app configurations
Enter the access token, API key, and secret key >> save.
