This page describes how to use Census with Shopify.

🏃‍♀️ Getting Started

In this guide, we will show you how to connect Shopify to Census.

Prerequisites

​
🔌
Connecting Shopify

Note: Census will only query Shopify based on the syncs/objects that you configure
  1. 1.
    Census connects via OAuth, so you need a Shopify user that can login to the instance with the following permission scopes:
    write_products
    read_products
    write_customers
    read_customers
    write_orders
    read_orders
    write_inventory
    read_inventory
    write_fulfillments
    read_fulfillments
    write_assigned_fulfillment_orders
    read_assigned_fulfillment_orders
    write_merchant_managed_fulfillment_orders
    read_merchant_managed_fulfillment_orders
    write_third_party_fulfillment_orders
    read_third_party_fulfillment_orders
  2. 2.
    There is some setup that is needed to do on the Census side to setup Shopify, while this process is under construction
    🏗
    , please contact us via email or start a conversation with us via the in-app chat with the topic: "Shopify Setup". In your communication please provide your Shopify Store URL so we can get started on your set up!

Updating Product Images

Census supports setting product images by passing a Arrays and Nested Objects Array to the images field on the Product. The images array needs to be a set of one more objects that contain URLs to each image you want to upload. It should look something like the following:
[
{
"position": 1,
"src": "https://via.placeholder.com/300.png?text=iPod%20Nano,%208GB",
"width": 640,
"height": 480
}
]
Only the src field is required. position, width, and height are optional.
