Connect Shopify

Before you start#

You need owner or staff-with-app-permissions access to your Shopify admin so you can install the SECND app. SECND works with any Shopify plan.

Connect SECND#

1.

Open Connect

In the SECND sidebar, click Connect. The page is titled Marketplaces.

You can also start from Shopify: search for SECND in the Shopify App Store, or open it from Appsin your Shopify admin if it's already installed. Either way you end up in the same place.

Reconnect or reinstall#

If SECND asks you to sign in to Shopify again, click Reconnect Shopify on the Shopify card. SECND already knows your store, so Shopify just asks you to approve the permissions again.

If you uninstalled the app, install it again from the Shopify App Store. Your SECND account and settings are kept.

Settings to configure#

Open Shopify in Integrations. Its settings include the fields below.

Use Store Tags#

When on, SECND uses the tags your Shopify store already applies to products instead of generating new ones. Leave on if you have a tag taxonomy you rely on for collections or filtering.

Publish Status#

Whether new products SECND pushes are published to your storefront immediately (Active) or held back as Draft. Draft is the safe default while you're still tuning content.

Vendor Field#

Whether Shopify's Vendor field is populated with the product's brand or your shop name. Use Brand if your storefront filters by brand; use Shop name if you resell consigned goods under your own banner.

Sales Channels#

Which Shopify sales channels new products are published to: All channels, Selected channels (pick the list in the SECND desktop app), or Do not publish. Most stores leave this on All channels.

On Delist#

What happens to the Shopify product when SECND delists it. Out of stock drops inventory to zero but keeps the product page live; Draft hides it from the storefront; Delete permanently removes it (SECND asks you to confirm).
