Shopify Integration (Inventory Sync)

Shopify is an eCommerce platform that enables you to create an online store where you can sell your products. In this article, you will learn about the configurations needed to keep inventory between MyTime and your Shopify store in real-time sync without the need for manual intervention.  

Things to know:

  1. You must have an active Shopify plan. Learn more about Shopify plans here
  2. Shopify Integration is controlled by a hidden setting that only the MyTime team can enable. To enable the hidden setting, please contact our Support Team at support@mytime.com.
  3. The SKU number is the only thing that connects Shopify and MyTime products. The product name, SKU name, or any other information about the product does not constitute a link between the items. 
  4. Once the Shopify configuration is completed, here's how the inventory sync works:
    • When a product is purchased in MyTime's POS, the quantity will be updated in MyTime and Shopify
    • When a product is purchased from the Shopify online store, the quantity will be updated in MyTime and Shopify
    • When you manually alter a product's inventory on MyTime, the quantity will be updated in MyTime and Shopify
