Connect Shopify to AskBiz

Step-by-step guide to connecting your Shopify store to AskBiz. What data is synced, required permissions, and how to disconnect.

Prerequisites#

  • An active Shopify store (any plan)
  • Shopify store owner or admin access
  • Your AskBiz account (any plan — note: CSV is the only connector on Free; Shopify OAuth requires Growth or Business)

Connection Steps#

1. Go to /sources in AskBiz

2. Click Shopify under Ecommerce

3. Enter your Shopify store URL (e.g. mystore.myshopify.com)

4. Click Connect — you'll be redirected to Shopify

5. Review the permissions AskBiz requests and click Install app

6. You're redirected back to AskBiz. Sync begins automatically.

Data Synced from Shopify#

AskBiz pulls the following from Shopify:

  • Orders — order ID, date, revenue, discount, shipping, taxes, line items
  • Products — title, SKU, price, inventory levels, variants
  • Customers — customer ID (anonymised), order history, location, tags
  • Refunds — refund amount, reason, date
  • Abandoned checkouts — value and frequency

AskBiz does not access: customer email addresses, passwords, payment card details, or Shopify admin settings.

Sync Frequency#

  • Growth plan: Every 6 hours
  • Business plan: Real-time webhook (data appears within seconds of a new order)
  • Historical: First sync pulls 90 days of history; you can request up to 2 years from Settings → Data → Historical Sync

Disconnecting Shopify#

Go to /sources → Shopify → Disconnect. This revokes AskBiz's access token with Shopify and removes all stored credentials from our database. For belt-and-braces security, you can also verify removal from Shopify Admin → Apps. Disconnecting does not delete your historical synced data from AskBiz — it simply stops future syncs.
