Connect Shopify

Connecting Shopify lets Glimmio sync your products, orders, customers, and inventory, and execute approved changes via the Shopify Admin API.

Before you start

• You must be the Shopify store owner or have staff access with all permissions.
• You must be an Admin or Owner in Glimmio.

Steps

1. Go to Settings → Integrations.
2. Click Connect next to Shopify.
3. Enter your Shopify store URL (e.g., your-store.myshopify.com) and click Continue.
4. You will be redirected to your Shopify store to review and approve the requested permissions.
5. Click Install app in Shopify.
6. You are returned to Glimmio. An initial product and order sync will begin automatically.

Permissions required

Glimmio requests the following Shopify API access scopes:

• read_products, write_products — Read and update product titles, descriptions, SEO
• read_orders — Read order revenue, line items, and attribution data
• read_inventory — Read inventory levels for all products and locations
• read_customers — Read customer acquisition source (aggregate, not individual PII)
• read_checkouts — Read abandoned checkout data for recovery flows
• write_price_rules, write_discounts — Create discount codes when approved
• Theme app extension — Add verified review blocks through Shopify's theme editor

Webhooks

Glimmio automatically registers Shopify webhooks when you connect your store. These include order, checkout, product, inventory, and refund events. Webhooks enable real-time data updates without constant polling.

How to disconnect

1. Go to Settings → Integrations → Shopify → Disconnect.
2. Confirm disconnection. All syncing and webhooks will immediately stop.
3. Optionally, uninstall the Glimmio app from your Shopify Admin → Apps → Glimmio → Delete.
