Shopify

Millions of the world's most successful brands trust Shopify to sell, ship and process payments anywhere.

This integration allows business users to build personalized landing pages and storefronts by repurposing product content from your Shopify product catalog. It also enables developers to use their preferred front-end tools to build these applications.

Adding the Shopify integration to your Uniform project adds new parameter types that you can add to your Uniform Canvas components.

Before you start

You must have the following to complete this setup:

  • Shopify account with developer access.

Prerequisites

You must have access to a Uniform team with the ability to create new projects. If you are an active customer or a partner, please get in touch with your Uniform team administrator colleague and ask for an invite.

If you are not sure or your company does not have a Uniform team, you can request a sandbox here.

To configure a connection to Shopify, you need an API access token. This gives you the settings that will enable Uniform to use the Shopify API.
