To connect Shopify as a sales channel in Acenda, you create a custom app in your Shopify admin and share its credentials with Acenda support, and Acenda support completes the connection. Acenda then matches your Shopify products to your Acenda catalog by SKU and keeps listing status, stock, and prices in sync. The connection doesn't import your Shopify catalog.
Connect your Shopify store
Contact Acenda support (9 AM–5 PM PT, Monday to Friday) to start. Shopify sales channel setup is Acenda-assisted, not self-serve.
Create an app in your own Shopify admin. Follow How to connect Shopify to Acenda with a custom app.
Share your store name, client ID, and client secret with Acenda support. Acenda support completes the connection.
In some cases, Acenda support sends you an authorization link instead. The link opens Shopify's approval screen.
How does Acenda match Shopify products?
Acenda reads your Shopify catalog on a schedule and matches each Shopify product to an existing Acenda item by SKU.
Acenda tracks listing status, stock, and price for matched products.
Pulling Shopify stock and prices into Acenda is optional.
The connection doesn't create new items in Acenda. Add your items to Acenda first. See How to import product data into Acenda.
Note: Shopify can also be connected as a fulfillment provider. See How to connect Shopify as a fulfillment provider.
Troubleshooting & FAQ
Why didn't my Shopify products appear in Acenda? The connection doesn't import products. Add them to Acenda, and make sure each SKU matches Shopify exactly.
Why isn't a Shopify product matched? Check that the SKU in Shopify matches the SKU in Acenda exactly.
Why can't I find Acenda in the Shopify App Store? Connections use an app you create in your Shopify admin, not the App Store.
What if the integration shows a warning? See Troubleshooting: "Connection Unhealthy" integration warning.
