Shopify compatibility

The app is compatible with all versions of Shopify but will sync faster with a Shopify Plus plan. Since our App is built in API to API mode, we use the latest version of the Shopify API to connect.

 

Prerequisite

To be able to use the Akeneo App for Shopify correctly, you will need:

  • Dedicated PIM instance
  • Dedicated Shopify store
  • Shopify App activated by your Akeneo's contact
  • In order to be able to manage and open an App, you need to have the System Role >> Manage/Open App activated for your account in the PIM. 
    The Akeneo App for Shopify is available directly from your PIM in the Connect >> Connected Apps section.

Scalability 

The App has been built to remain robust and stable at all times. The good functioning has been validated with the Akeneo PIM catalog of 50 000 products. If you intend to synchronize a bigger catalog into your Shopify store, your request should be assessed by the Akeneo product team to validate the feasibility of the data import.

The feasibility will depend on your Shopify plan and the attribute types you wish to synchronize.
