Shopify is one of the clearest SaaS sources in the current app. The live form captures the store URL and the Admin API access token you need for testing and syncs.

Current connection form

The current Shopify source form asks for:
  • Connection Name
  • Shop URL
  • Admin API Access Token
  • The shop URL should be the real store URL, for example https://your-store.myshopify.com.
  • The token field expects the Admin API access token, usually starting with shpat_....

Good first use cases

  • order and customer analytics
  • product catalog replication into SQL
  • support and operations reporting built around store activity

Before you connect

  • Create a custom app with read access to the resources you plan to sync.
  • Confirm the exact shop URL before testing the connection.
  • Start with one high-value resource such as orders so the first validation run is easy to review.

Step by step

  1. Open Connections and click + New Connection.
  2. Keep the role set to Source and choose Shopify.
  3. Fill the form with real values, for example:
    • Connection Name: Northstar Home
    • Shop URL: https://northstar-home.myshopify.com
    • Admin API Access Token: shpat_...
  4. Click Test Connection and save only after the test succeeds.
  5. Create a pipeline and start with one high-value resource so validation stays simple.

Resources available in the current source preview

  • products
  • orders
  • customers
  • draft_orders
  • custom_collections
  • smart_collections
  • pages
  • blogs
  • articles
  • locations
  • price_rules
  • themes
  • countries
  • collects

Real-world example

An ecommerce team syncs Shopify orders, customers, and products into PostgreSQL so support, merchandising, and finance can all work from the same reporting tables.

Troubleshooting

  • If the test fails, confirm the shop URL format and the token scopes.
  • If resources are unexpectedly empty, start with orders or customers and validate against the Shopify admin UI.
  • One validated store connection is better than several broad first-time rollouts.
