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.
