Shopify Connector - V0 - Create your Catalogue

Create a catalogue of all Products you want to Export to or Sync with Shopify.

You must create the catalogue whether you are planning to use the PRODUCT EXPORT or the PRODUCT ID SYNC option.

1. Go to CONNECTORS > Shopify Connector > Catalogue
2. Click on '+ Type'
3. Type in a Section/ Type NAME + Click 'OK'

Click the 'OK & Add Another' button to add another Linesheet Name/ 'OK & Go In' to move onto the season name options for the Linesheet you are in.

Note that you can make a section non-exportable by unticking the 'Exportable' box. While you may not need to use this option when you initially build your catalogue, you may use it later to exclude certain sections from being synchronised with your Shopify store. Apart from making a section non-exportable, you can also make an individual product non-exportable.

Whatever you enter in the Product Type field will populate as PRODUCT TYPE in Shopify (only if you are using the PRODUCT EXPORT action), as per the screenshot below:
