Shop Sync
Link your Shopify Store to Next Commerce and sync orders for fulfillment
Shop Sync is an installable App for Next Commerce that syncs your Shopify store's products to NEXT's products catalogue.
Additionally, Shop Sync connects your NEXT store to use Shopify as a Fulfillment Location, so that any orders placed on NEXT are automatically imported to your Shopify store.
Set Up Shop Sync App
Step 1: Log in to both your NEXT dashboard and your Shopify store admin
From NEXT, install Shop Sync from the Apps menu.
After installation, you will be prompted to create a custom app from your Shopify account, via the Shopify Dev Dashboard.
Step 2: Connect Next Commerce to Shopify.
Ensure that you are logged into your Shopify account, then select the Shopify Dev Dashboard link from the NEXT Shop Sync app settings.
From the Shopify Dev Dashboard, click Create app
Input an App name in the Start from Dev Dashboard field. This will be the name of the custom app linked to NEXT in your Shopify store, so it's recommended to choose an easy to identify name like "NEXT Shop Sync". Click Create.
Step 3: Configure your app
Next, you will be prompted to input a configuration for the app. From the NEXT Shop Sync App, copy the values displayed into each of the corresponding fields on the Shopify Dev Dashboard:
App URL (unselect Embed app in Shopify admin)
Webhooks API Version
Scopes
Redirect URLs
Then, select Release. It is not required to add a version name or message.
Step 4: Install your app
On the following screen, from the left side menu under your App's name, go to the Home menu.
Click Install App. You will be prompted to choose the Shopify store in your account on which to install the app.
Once selected, you will be prompted by Shop Sync to input a Client ID and Secret. From the Shopify Dev Dashboard left side navigation menu, click Settings. Copy and paste the Client ID and Secret into the Shop Sync prompt screen and submit.
You will then be redirected to the Shop Sync App settings on NEXT.
Now that your NEXT store is successfully connected to your Shopify store, a green Connected badge along with the Shopify store ID will be displayed.
Enable Product Sync
To import your Shopify store products to NEXT, check Enable Product Sync.
Once these settings are enabled, your full list of products will be imported from your connected Shopify store and synced to your NEXT products catalogue.
Edits and adjustments to your Shopify products will also automatically sync to NEXT and modify your NEXT products.
To properly sync to Next Commerce, it is required that your Products in Shopify have a SKU code associated to them. Products without a SKU Code will not sync. It's also useful to ensure that any Variant Products in Shopify have product images associated to them.
Notifications
Send Order Confirmation Email from Shopify - when this setting is enabled, order confirmation email notifications will be sent from Shopify. If enabled, check your notifications settings to ensure that duplicate emails are not sent from NEXT.
Metadata Sync
Optionally sync metadata fields on NEXT orders to map to the resulting Shopify orders.
To create a mapping between Next Commerce metadata and Shopify metafields, click Add Metadata Sync and map your Next Commerce metadata field to the corresponding Shopify metafield.
