Introduction

Tagrain can integrate to an existing Shopify site via the “Tagrain Shopify Integration” plugin. This plugin seamlessly integrates Tagrain and Shopify allowing retailers to further extend the capabilities of their ENTERPRISE edition. It allows them to sell online as well as in-store. 

Integration Scenarios

When integrating Tagrain with Shopify, a retailer may come across the below scenarios: 

Scenario 1. The retailer already has an existing Shopify Site. 

In case the Retailer already has an existing Shopify site, he simply needs to procure the API Key and the API Password from the “Private App Creation” screen to integrate his existing Shopify Site. 

Scenario 2. Retailer has created a new Shopify Site. 

In case the Retailer does not have an existing Shopify account, he needs to create one. See: How to create a Shopify account? He would require the API Key and the API password to integrate his new Shopify Site with Tagrain. The retailer needs to register himself on the Shopify Portal to generate his Shopify credentials. Once generated, he needs to log into his Shopify Portal using those credentials. The credentials generally would comprise of his complete email address and password. The retailer needs to “Enable private app deployment” after agreeing to the terms and conditions laid therein and fill in the required information on the “Create Private App Configuration” page to create one. Upon successful creation of the App, the retailer is presented with the API Keys and the API password on the “Private App Creation” screen.  

Whether the Retailer is integrating his existing site or has created a new site, he is required to calibrate the master data between the two systems - Tagrain and Shopify, to ensure smooth hassle-free integration. The master objects may vary depending upon the solution being deployed. In Tagrain Shopify deployment, the following master objects are initialized:

Customer Data

For the Customer master object, retailers will not be asked to perform any action. The system does that for them and displays the green symbol on the master object upon successful initialization. 

Note: The customer data integration is unidirectional. It means the relevant customer data gets transferred from Shopify to Tagrain. You may click on the accordion to view the details.
