Integrations are a valuable tool that can help you grow your e-commerce business. When you Connect your Shopify store to Riwaya, the two platforms can share information, like your products, stock, and orders, automatically. This saves you time and makes your work easier.

Follow these steps to connect your Shopify store to Riwaya:
First of all, head over to your Shopify admin panel and login using your credentials.
Tip: Make sure you have the necessary admin permissions to create and manage apps inside your Shopify store.
Once logged in, go to 'Settings' in your Shopify dashboard and then click on 'Apps and Sales Channels'.
Inside the Apps and Sales Channels page:
a. Click the ‘Develop Apps’ button.
b. Then select ‘Create an App’.
In the pop-up window, give your app a descriptive name (e.g., Riwaya Integration, Riwaya app, or something like that). After entering the name, click 'Create app'.
Next, you’ll need to assign the proper permissions for the app.
Under the ‘Configure Admin API Scopes’ section, select the following scopes to grant Riwaya access to the necessary data:
- read_product_listings
- read_products
- read_inventory
- read_orders
- write_orders
- read_fulfillments
- write_fulfillments
- read_assigned_fulfillment_orders
These permissions ensure Riwaya can sync your products, inventory, and orders correctly.
After you have selected all the required scopes, click the 'Save' button.
Now it’s time to install the app inside your Shopify store:
a. Go to the ‘API Credentials’ tab under the same app configuration page.
b. Click ‘Install’.
Once the app is installed, your 'access token' will be displayed.
Important: To protect your data, you’ll only be able to reveal your Admin API token once. So copy this token and store it securely. You'll need it to connect to Riwaya.
a. Paste the copied token into the designated field on the Riwaya onboarding form or vendor admin panel.
b. Enter your Shopify store URL. Make sure there are no extra spaces before or after the URL and token. Then, save the information.
Once your Shopify store is connected, you'll need to configure a few more settings on Riwaya to ensure your products are displayed correctly and orders are processed smoothly.
Match your Shopify product categories to the corresponding categories on Riwaya. This ensures your products are easily discoverable by customers.
Note: If you can’t find a matching category, select the ‘Unmapped Category’ option. The Riwaya team will review it and help you place your product in the right category.
Select the specific products you want to sync with Riwaya. You may not want to list all your products on the platform.
Note: After syncing, it may take 2 to 3 working days for your products to be reviewed and approved by the Riwaya team.
Initiate a data sync to transfer your product information (descriptions, images, prices, inventory) from Shopify to Riwaya.
Important: You can edit your data anytime, and it will automatically sync every hour.
a. Incorrectly Copying the Access Token: This is a frequent error. Double-check that you have selected and copied the entire access token from your Shopify app's API credentials. Even a single missing character will prevent a successful connection.
b. Entering the Wrong Shopify Store URL: Ensure you are using the correct URL for your store. Always use the full URL including `https://`. Typos are common here, so verify it carefully.
c. Skipping Essential API Scopes: Failing to select all the necessary API scopes during the app creation in Shopify will limit the data Riwaya can access, leading to incomplete syncing or functionality issues. Double-check against the list provided.
d. Not Reviewing Riwaya's Guidelines: Familiarise yourself with Riwaya's specific guidelines & conditions for product listings, categories, and any other platform-specific requirements to ensure your listings comply.
