How to Connect Your Shopify Store to ImportFlow
The 5-minute setup that unlocks every feature.
What connecting actually does
The Shopify connection lets ImportFlow read products (to avoid duplicates), create new products, update existing ones, and manage images and inventory. Read-only for your order history and customer data — we never see those.
Step-by-step walkthrough
(1) Open ImportFlow → My Store → Add Store. (2) Enter your store domain (example.myshopify.com). (3) Click "Connect with Shopify" — you'll be redirected to Shopify's OAuth page. (4) Review the permissions and approve. (5) You'll be redirected back to ImportFlow with a confirmation.
Whole thing takes 60-90 seconds. No API keys to paste. No developer tokens.
Multi-store setup
On the Pro plan, you can connect up to 3 stores. On Business, unlimited. Each store is a separate OAuth flow. Once connected, you can push products to any store with a single click from the Drafts view.
Troubleshooting connection issues
If OAuth fails, the most common cause is a browser extension blocking third-party cookies. Try an incognito window. If that works, whitelist ImportFlow in your regular browser.
For stores with custom apps or private locked plans, reach out to support — we can help manually configure access.
How ImportFlow solves this
A reliable connection is the foundation of every downstream workflow. Get this right once, and every future product ships cleanly to Shopify.
ImportFlow is a purpose-built Shopify product importer that combines AI rewriting, multi-language translation, bulk import, SEO scoring, and scheduled publishing in a single dashboard. You paste a supplier URL, let the AI rewrite titles and descriptions for your market, set your pricing rules, and publish to Shopify — a workflow that normally takes 20-30 minutes per product happens in under a minute.
Stores using ImportFlow typically ship 7-10× more products per week than stores doing manual listings, and those products launch with proper SEO meta fields, Google Shopping categories, and market-specific copy from day one. Start your free trial at importflow.app and see the difference on your next product import.
