How to connect Shopify to Databox
To connect a Shopify Account in Databox, go to Data Sources > + New connection. Type Shopify in the search bar and click on the green Connect button.
This will open the Activation window, which is where you will be prompted to authorize the Databox app.
To do this, enter only the shop URL name without "my.shopify.com" or any other text at the end of the shop URL name.
Pro Tip: Each shop must be connected as a separate Data Source in Databox (1 shop = 1 Data Source).
How much historical data is synced when you first connect Shopify to Databox?
When you connect a new Shopify Data Source in Databox, 3 months worth of data is initially available.
Certain Metrics may have more or less historical data available. For more information about the amount of historical data available for a specific Metric, please contact our Support Team at [email protected]
Pro Tip : Once your Shopify Data Source is connected and actively syncing data, we store the data that's collected in our own database. This allows us to accumulate more data over time as more data syncs are made so that you can report on more historical Shopify data in your Databox reports. Learn more here .
What time zone does Shopify data sync in?
Shopify data is synced in the time zone set in the Shopify Account. For example, if your Shopify Account time zone is set as EST, your Shopify data will sync with Databox in EST.
How to access pre-built Shopify Templates
Pro Tip: Once the Databoard is available on the Databoards page, it is completely disconnected from the public Template. Therefore, you can further customize this Databoard to meet your specific needs using the Designer.
