Connector Overview
Subdomain Name
While configuring a Shopify connection, enter only the subdomain name without the ".myshopify.com" following.
Example
If your organization's Shopify subdomain is 'coolagency.myshopify.com' you would enter 'coolagency' in the Subdomain field while configuring your Shopify connection in Dataddo.
Authorize Your Shopify account
To connect Shopify to Dataddo, the most recent version of Shopify requires it’s clients to get an API access token.
Go to your Shopify account and click on Settings at the bottom left of your screen. Select Apps and sales channels and click on Develop apps for your store. Follow the prompts to allow custom app development.
After you click on Create an app to type a name, you will need to Configure Admin API scopes.
Select all the permissions you would like for Dataddo to access and save. For example, we’ve added read_orders, read_customers, and read_products, read_fulfillments, read_assigned_fulfillment_orders, read_merchant_managed_fulfillment_orders, read_third_party_fulfillment_orders, read_marketplace_fulfillment_orders.
Go back to the Overview tab and click on Install app. You can now access your API Admin access token under the API credentials tab.
Please keep in mind that you can reveal the token only once.
Go to the Authorizers page in your Dataddo account, click on Add Service and select the Shopify connector. Enter your subdomain name (name of your shop) and the access token to authorize your account.
Limitations
Multi-Account Extraction
It is not possible to extract data from multiple accounts across domains as different stores have different URLs. You can, however, connect the same data from various stores in the same Flow by simply adding multiple sources.
Troubleshooting
Data Preview Unavailable
If there is no data preview after clicking on Test Data, there might be a problem with your source configuration. The most common causes are:
- Date range: Try a smaller date range. You can load the rest of your data afterward through our manual data load function.
- Invalid metrics, attributes, or breakdowns: You may not have any data for the selected metrics, attributes, or breakdowns.
- Incompatible combination of metrics, attributes, or breakdowns: The combination you have selected cannot be queried together. Please refer to the service's documentation to view a full list of metrics that can be included in the same source.
Cannot Access Data: Insufficient Scopes
If you cannot access some of your data, please double-check which permissions you've given to Dataddo. In majority of cases, you will need to add additional access.
Example
To gain access to the fulfillmentOrders field (Orders dataset), make sure you give Dataddo at least one of the following scopes:
- read_assigned_fulfillment_orders
- read_merchant_managed_fulfillment_orders
- read_third_party_fulfillment_orders
- read_marketplace_fulfillment_orders
