Install ShoppingFeeder and connect to your Shopify store

Shopify is an e-commerce platform that allows anyone to create and manage an online store. We’ve created a detailed guide to walk our clients through the process of integrating ShoppingFeeder with the Shopify app. 

Before you can use this guide, you must first register for ShoppingFeeder and sign in. 

Once you’ve signed into your ShoppingFeeder account for the first time, you’ll be presented with the Setup Wizard. Click Next to begin the setup process.

Enter your store's name, URL, currency your products are sold in, your store's country and category language. If you are unsure of any of the boxes, simply hover your cursor over the '?' icon for a description of the required information.

Enter the Shopify URL for your store. 

• Enable Variants:  This field creates separate offers for each variance in your inventory. If you have a shirt that is available in three different colours and Enable Variants is turned on, ShoppingFeeder will create three unique offers.
• Rename Variants: By turning this on, ShoppingFeeder will append the variant name to the end of the product title e.g. Evening Dress / Red / Size 32.

Enter the weight units of your products (kilograms, ounces or pounds) as well as your shipping charges, product conditions and store description. Then click Next. 

Click on Install the app.

You will be redirected to your shopping cart platform, where you will be shown details of ShoppingFeeder's access to your store data. Click Install app. 

Step 6: Subscribe to channels 

Now that the ShoppingFeeder app is installed, your products will begin syncing in the background. To get your product listings on the desired channels, type the channel name in the Search box and check the box next to the channel you which to subscribe to. Then click Next. 

Step 7: Channel setup 

Next you must configure your settings for the subscribed channels. Select which products you want included in your feed (All products, products in stock, out of stock and/or pre-ordered). You may leave the utm boxes empty for the moment, as you can always modify these channel settings from the dashboard later. Then click Save. 

The Setup Wizard will confirm your channel setup. Now click Next. 

Step 8: Complete setup process

You have now successfully set up your store! ShoppingFeeder will show you a list of subsequent steps to take to ensure your product listings have all the correct information. Click Finish. 

Now that you've completed the Setup Wizard, you can follow the Platform Tour to guide you through the dashboard features. Simply click on the grey arrow to navigate. 

Once you've gone through the Platform Tour, you'll see on your dashboard how many of your products are imported e.g. the box below reads "1 Products Imported." You will also receive a confirmation email to notify you of product imports. 

In the top right hand corner, click on the Setup box to see a checklist of steps to follow to create your feed. 

Your Progress Checklist will tell you the percentage you've completed and give you a list of tasks to complete. Simply hover the cursor over the '?' icon for more detailed descriptions of each task.
