Integration with Shopify (via Droplo)

Follow this instruction to successfully integrate Droplo with your Shopify store and list products in it.

Integration Activation

Go to the Integrations tab and click on the Shopify card.

A description of the integration will open. To activate the trial period, click the Test for 7 days for free button. If you don’t need a trial period and want to activate the subscription immediately, use the Purchase access button.

A. By selecting the option Test for 7 days for free, you will be redirected to the app installation panel in the Shopify App Store. Click the Install button.

If you were not logged in to Shopify, you will be redirected to the login panel. Log in to your account to proceed.

A new window will appear where you need to enter the URL of your Shopify store.

If you do not yet have a public domain for your store (e.g., examplestore.com), enter the technical domain that Shopify automatically generated after registering your account.

You can find your store’s technical domain address in your Shopify panel by navigating to Settings and then selecting the Domains tab.

After entering the domain address (without the prefix https://) use the button Log in. This will allow the Droplo application to be installed in your store.

You are now logged in to the Shopify App Store panel as a shop. You may use the button Install again to finalize the installation of the application for your store.

A page will appear where you need to accept Droplo's access to your store's resources; this is also where you accept our privacy policy.

You will be redirected to the Plan and Payment panel, where on the list of Active Subscriptions you will notice your integration and information about how long it will remain active for your account during the trial period.

You can end the trial period at any time before the full 7 days have passed. To do this, use the Cancel subscription option.

You will be redirected to the Droplo panel.

In the main menu on the left side of the panel, under the MY INTEGRATIONS section, you will find a shortcut to your Shopify integration. Click its name to open the configuration panel.

Note: Next to the integration shortcut, there’s a day counter showing you how many days you have left in your trial period (7-Day Test). By using the Activate button, you can activate your subscription early. This action will trigger the first payment for monthly or yearly access to the integration from your Shopify panel.

B. By selecting the Purchase Access option on the integration description tab you will be redirected to the payment tab for access to the integration.

Choose whether you want to pay for the integration monthly or yearly (upfront). After submitting the first payment, the integration will be fully activated for your account.

Configuration

You will gain access to the application Shopify Exporter by Droplo. This tool provides the ability to manage integration with your Shopify store.

In the exporter, you can easily configure various integration parameters, such as:

• Global price markup

• Currency

• Automatic synchronization of prices and stock levels

• Warehouse

• Product export language

• Tax value

After completing the setup, select the Save button.

If you have already created categories in the Shopify panel, you need to map these categories with Droplo before exporting products to the sales channel.

Go to the Category Mapping tab (1) and assign the Droplo categories to the related versions of categories from your store (2).

Once you finish assigning each category from the list, use the Save button (3).

Important! Category mapping will only be available if there is at least 1 product saved from any supplier on your list.

Each time you save additional products with different categories to your list, it will be necessary to map the new categories in the synchronization settings so that the products can be sent to Shopify.

Exporting Products to Shopify

After saving the category mapping settings, you can go to the Products tab and export the selected offers to Shopify using the More Actions -> Add to Sales Channels function.

A new window will appear where you can select which integration you want to send the products to. If the integration encountered errors, e.g., with the connection, a message will appear at the top of the window.

In such a case, double-check whether the configuration was done correctly on both Droplo and Shopify.

Removing Products from the Store

Remember that Droplo is the source of updates for products in your store. Making changes to products outside of Droplo may cause synchronization issues.

Note! If you want to delete products from Shopify, do not do this from your sales channel. Always remember to manage offers from Droplo.

How to completely delete a product from Shopify?

• In Droplo, in the Products tab, select the products you want to remove from the Shopify panel and use the function Remove from sales channels.

• Note: In Droplo, the product will still be visible on your list, but it will no longer be visible in Shopify—neither to your customers nor to you in the shop panel.

How to remove a product from the store without deleting it from the Shopify panel?

• In Droplo, in the Products tab, select the products, and then use the action Remove from my products.

• Note: In Droplo, the product will no longer be visible on your list. However, the product synchronization will no longer be active. The products will remain on your Shopify list with stock levels set to 0.

Order Synchronization

In this tab, the function for automatically downloading orders from your store (orders for products listed through Droplo) will be activated.

You can disable this function at any time. Simply select the option Synchronization disabled and save the changes.
