Linking your Shopify Store

Linking your Shopify Store

One of the website hosts we support is Shopify. Please note that this is a third-party website and is not associated with YourDesign Store. Hence, managing the store will be completely up to you. As of now, we can only automate the process of receiving orders on websites built on Shopify. However, we will not be able to do a complete automation of product sync. This will still have to be manually done.


Where do I start?


Your first step would be to build a website with the host of your choice. If you have a website built on Shopify, we can connect your website to our dashboard in a few simple steps.


Please visit this link to learn more about building the website.


How do I connect the website to the dashboard?


The partner dashboard would be the connecting point between Shopify and YourDesign Store. All products, orders, and reports would be linked through this portal. Basically, this is a single window for you to assess our entire process. You will receive the link to fill out the Seller’s dashboard Set-Up Form through your email. If you haven’t received it yet, you may go to this link.


Using the details provided in the form, we will set up a dashboard for you. Once it is done, you will receive an email with login details for your dashboard from us.


What products can I sell?


To get an idea about the products we sell and their prices, please go to the catalog through this link.


Will YourDesign Store do marketing for your products?


We do not, under any circumstances, support you with the marketing of your products. Please be aware that the marketing part is solely up to you.


Adding Products


As a seller, you need to ensure that every product that is on your Shopify portal is also added on your dashboard. The most suitable sequence for doing this would be:


  • Add products to the dashboard.

For a guide on how to add products to the dashboard, see this link.


  • Add products to the website.

  • Matching SKUs

SKU (Stock Keeping Unit) is a unique ID given to each product. When an order is placed through your website, the SKU of that product is redirected to our dashboard. So, you need to ensure the SKUs generated in the dashboard are correctly copied and pasted in designated spaces in your Shopify dashboard.

To find the SKU of your product, go to Dashboard > Products > My Products > Edit


You may find your product SKU under Product Details.



And to find the SKU of each variant, check under product variant.


 


Under Product Variants, you can copy the SKU and paste it in the spaces designated for SKU on the Shopify website.


From the Shopify dashboard, go to Products and add a new product, or go to Products and start editing an existing product.


Go to Inventory and copy the product SKU under Inventory > SKU.


Under Variants, re enter all the variants for the product.



To match the SKU for each variant, go to Variant and choose the variant to edit.



Once you select the variant to edit, a window will pop-up, where you can fill in the SKU for each variant.




Carefully copy the SKUs for each variant from the dashboard and paste them in the area for SKUs under each variation.


Be very careful while doing this since the wrong SKUs can cause the dispatch of the wrong products.


Linking Dashboard and Website


After completely setting up the website and adding products to both portals, you may schedule a call with YourDesign Store. We will help you connect the portals using a webhook.


Once the linking is completed, when orders are placed on the website, we will automatically receive the order details, which will reflect on the dashboard.


Testing


Finally, to check if the connection is seamless, we will ask you to place a test order to map fields correctly. It is suggested to add 6 products or variations to initiate the testing.


How do I pay for orders?


We follow the Wallet system for easy and transparent transactions. To learn more about wallets and how you can use them, go to this link.
