Important Integration Notes

Before setting up this connection to Shopify, please review these important notes to ensure the integration is successful:

Important Note - Inventory

In order to have Integration Manager sync inventory between your WMS and your Shopify cart, you must enable inventory tracking for each product in Shopify.

You can do this by going to Products > choose a product >  Inventory & Variants > edit > Inventory policy > select: Shopify tracks this variant's inventory.
Important Note - Variants

Shopify allows for multiple "Variants" on a single product. These should be used for things like different sizes or colors of a product.

Ideally, each Variant should have a unique SKU or inventory may not be tracked properly. If you use the same SKU for multiple products or variants, Integration Manager will set them all to the same (current) inventory level. For example, if the current quantity in stock for product FOO is 5 units, all products matching sku FOO in Shopify will have their inventory levels set to 5.
Payment Status

By default Integration Manager picks up open "Paid" orders. If you won't be charging customer's credit cards until after the order is shipped, change the "Financial Status" field in Integration Manager to "Authorized". To pickup Archived orders, change the "Order Status" field in Integration Manager to "Closed" or "Any".
Fulfillment Status
Make sure that you haven't selected Automatically fulfill the order's line items in the Order processing section of your Checkout settings page.
