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).
What's the maximum amount of historical data initially available when you use a new Shopify Data Source Metric in Databox?
Data is synced for the Metrics that are being used in your Account, so when you first use a new Shopify Metric, the maximum amount of historical data available is 36 months.
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 help@databox.com.
Pro Tip: In order to start syncing data for a Metric, you can add it to your Metrics screen, use it in a Scorecard, set a Goal around it, create an Alert for it, or add it to a Databoard. Learn more here.
-
The amount of historical data you're able to access in Databox is dependent on your Databox plan. 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.
