The Shopify connector is split into two pages, General and Advanced. In this article, we have created a list of each function and its use.
General Tab
The general tab contains common functions used by most customers, below is a list of these and a description.
Field | Description |
Client | (3PL Only) Who the client is for this integration. |
Warehouse | The warehouse for this integration. |
Channel | The channel to import orders through to. |
Despatch Update Frequency (Minutes) | When dispatch updates are synced from Mintsoft back to Shopify. |
Order Import Sync Frequency (Minutes) | This sets how often Mintsoft checks Shopify for new orders to import. |
Order Import Delay (Minutes) | This sets a delay between when an order is placed on Shopify and when Mintsoft attempts to import it. This can be useful if you have other processes or apps running in Shopify (For example Recharge) that need time to update the order before it's imported.
The delay works alongside the import sync frequency.
For example, setting a delay of 10 means an order must remain active on Shopify for 10 minutes before Mintsoft considers it for import. |
Order Prefix | This is the prefix the system adds at the start of order numbers. |
Active | Keep this off until you authorise and set a location against the connection. |
Stock Sync Frequency (Minutes) | This is how frequently you would like the stock to synchronise. |
Stock Sync | Turn this on to synchronise stock. |
Sync New Products? | Turn this on if you want to import new products created on Shopify. |

Product Sync Frequency (Hours) | How frequently you would like to synchronise new products. |
