Medusa Source Shopify

Plugin that allows users to source Medusa using a Shopify store.

Quick start

This plugin will copy all of your products and collections from Shopify to Medusa.
To get started with the plugin you should follow these steps.

Install the plugin

Navigate to your Medusa server in your terminal, and install the plugin.
$ cd my-medusa-server
$ yarn medusa-source-shopify

Create a Shopify app

Navigate to your Shopify dashboard, and then go to
Copy to clipboard
Apps
and click the
Copy to clipboard
Develop apps for your store
button at the bottom of the page. After navigating to the
Copy to clipboard
App development
page, click the
Copy to clipboard
Create an app
in the top right corner.
This should open a modal where you can choose a name for your app. Write a name and click
Copy to clipboard
Create app
.
You should then click the button that says
Copy to clipboard
Configure Admin API scopes
. Scroll down to
Copy to clipboard
Products
and select the
Copy to clipboard
read_products
scope, and then save your changes.
Go back to overview and click
Copy to clipboard
Install app
. This should generate a token, that you should write down as you can only view it once.

Add the required plugin options

Update your
Copy to clipboard
medusa-config.js
with the following:
//Shopify keys
const SHOPIFY_STORE_URL = process.env.SHOPIFY_STORE_URL || "";
const SHOPIFY_API_KEY = process.env.SHOPIFY_API_KEY || "";
const plugins = [
// other plugins...
{
resolve: `medusa-source-shopify`,
options: {
domain: SHOPIFY_STORE_URL,
password: SHOPIFY_API_KEY,
},
},
];
You should then add
Copy to clipboard
SHOPIFY_STORE_URL
and
Copy to clipboard
SHOPIFY_API_KEY
to your
Copy to clipboard
.env
.
SHOPIFY_API_KEY=<your_secret_shopify_key>
SHOPIFY_STORE_URL=<your_store_name>
The
Copy to clipboard
SHOPIFY_API_KEY
is the token that we generated in the previous step.
Copy to clipboard
SHOPIFY_STORE_URL
is the name of your store. You can view the name in the url of your Shopify dashboard, which has the following format
Copy to clipboard
<your_store_name>.myshopify.com
.

Run your server

After setting everything up you can now run your server
$ yarn start
and the plugin will handle the rest.

Note

The plugin only queries updates since last build time

The plugin stores everytime it is run, and will use this timestamp to only fetch products, collections and collects that have been updated in Shopify since the last time it pulled data.

Product/Collection
relations (
Copy to clipboard
Collect
)

Shopify supports products being part of more than one collection, but Medusa does not support this. For this reason a product will only be part of the first collection it has a relation to in Medusa. The plugin processes Shopify product/collection relations in the following order:
  1. Custom collections
  2. Smart collections
This means that if product
Copy to clipboard
X
is part of custom collection
Copy to clipboard
Y
and smart collection
Copy to clipboard
Z
in Shopify, it will only be added to custom collection
Copy to clipboard
X
in Medusa.
