Introduction

In this article, we describe how to integrate with a Shopify vendor. If your vendor has a Shopify store, Onport can automatically sync products and orders.

Disclaimers

These are the new Shopify instructions as of early 2022. All new vendors and vendors who need to make changes to their current integration should use this method. Please see here for the old method info.

Only the store owner can enable custom app development.

Enable custom app development from the Shopify admin (Shopify Partners site)

Before you can create a custom app for your store, you need to enable custom app development.

  1. From your Shopify admin, go to Apps.

  4. In the modal window, enter the App name (Onport or, if you'd like, you can enter the marketplace's name to better identify orders by the app syncing them) and select an App developer. The app developer can be the store owner or any staff or collaborator account with the Develop apps permission.
