Connect to your Shopify store with our new Shopify integration! We’ve already seen our Shopify users create some pretty incredible automations with this integration.

The integration comes with two steps:

- Pull from Shopify
- Send to Shopify

## Pull from Shopify

Using the Pull from Shopify step, you can pull in the following data:

- A list of your shop **customers**
- A list of your **orders**
- Your shop **balance**
- A list of the **locations** associated with your shop
- A list of shop **disputes**
- Your **product inventory levels** per location
- A list of the **line items** sold for each order, with **refunds** and **fulfillment** included
- A list of **discounts** that have been applied to your orders
- A list of **shipping lines** for each order
- A list of shop **payouts**
- A list of **product variants**
- A list of the **product-collection relationships**
- A list of all **custom product collections**

O‍nce you select which option you’d like, to use, you can further refine your pull with filters and date ranges.

## Send to Shopify

Using the Send to Shopify step, you can perform the following actions in Shopify with your data:

- **Create** new customers
- **Update** existing Customers
- **Delete** existing Customers
- **Add** products to collections
- **Delete** product-collection relationships
- **Update** existing inventory items
- **Adjust** existing inventory levels
- **Reset** inventory levels

As with most Parabola integrations that send data out, this step works row-by-row, performing the action once, on each row.

If you don’t see an option that you were hoping for, leave me a note here, and I’ll see if we can work it into the next version.

What about creating and updating products themselves? I’d like to maintain the Shopify catalogue by syncing a segment of the larger catalogue in our MySQL database.

Hey Geoff!

That one is not available yet, but its second on our list of functionality to add to the Send to Shopify step. Thanks for including some details about your use case - I’ll shoot you an email / follow up here if I have more questions.

The reason it is not supported now, is that products are pretty complicated in their API, and we haven’t solidified how we want to support them in Parabola.

In the interim, you could use a Send to API step to directly send updates and creations to the Shopify API. Let me know if you need any help setting that up!

hello  
just new to parabola, and trying to pull products with variations.  
it works fine, but the columns [option (x) name] are missing and the column [variant option title] duplicates [variant option 1] value.

is there something wrong, or I’m missing something

Hey @J_Ramon_Dominguez 👋

Glad you found Parabola!

We do not pull in the option name as you might expect when exporting your products directly from Shopify. What’s your specific use case for needing the option name?

If you have only one variant option, the title and value will be the same. Otherwise, the `Variants: Title` column appends each option value.

 ![variant-details](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/parabola/original/1X/20ab6e3694f7fe70c5dc54e27d8606df65bcb0cb.png)

If you have more details, free free to pass them along. Happy to see if we can find a workaround.

Any progress on this front?

Is this where I should be focusing my energy?

> Hi @Massimo_Coppola, unfortunately it isn’t possible to add new Shopify products through our Send to Shopify integration yet. Our Shopify steps support adding Product IDs of existing products to collections for automating organization and improving processes like inventory management. We’ll note this as a potential addition to make for our Shopify integration. When you have time, can you add this as a feature request so others can vote on it to show their support?: [https://community.parabola.io…](https://community.parabola.io/c/feature-requests/)

Hey @Geoff_Bowers,

Using the [Send to an API](https://parabola.io/integration/api#send-to-an-api) step is the best way to create and update products in Shopify.

The good news is our engineering team is actively implementing these features into the [Send to Shopify](https://parabola.io/integration/shopify#send-to-shopify) step. We’ll be sure to let you know once it’s available.

In the meantime, that thread should help get you started creating and updating products in Shopify. If you need help setting configuring that step, please don’t hesitate to reach out!
