Overview
e-CROSS reads Shopify products and sends the mapped SKU data to the e-CROSS catalog, under the merchant instance.
The integration undestands there are new data when any of the following fields are updated:
- Product update date.
- Variant update date.
- Inventory item update date.
What you control in Shopify
You need to keep the Shopify product data complete and tag products with the correct merchant ID.
The connector uses product tags to decide which merchant owns a product. The tag format is:
For example:
Products without a matching merchantId:<MERCHANT_ID> tag are ignored by the product, price, and inventory polling flow.
Product fields read from Shopify
e-CROSS reads these product fields:
Variant fields read from Shopify
Each Shopify variant becomes one e-CROSS SKU.
Product metafields are sent as extra attributes.
The integration uses the metafield key as the attribute name and the metafield value as the attribute value.
If a metafield value points to a Shopify metaobject, the integration tries to use:
- The metaobject display name.
- A metaobject field named
value.
- The first metaobject field that has a value.
