Shopify

Shopify is a one-time, read-only import source in the Migration Tool, not a live two-way sync. The Shopify connector was retired.

There is no Shopify connector

The shopify-connector service was retired. Brainerce does not mirror a Shopify store, does not push products or inventory back to Shopify, and does not pull orders from it on an ongoing basis. If you are looking for a two-way sync, it does not exist and is not planned.

There is no Shopify app in the marketplace to install.

What exists instead: a one-time import

Shopify is one of two read-only import sources inside the unified Migration Tool app (the other is WooCommerce). It runs once, on demand:

  • It pulls products (with variants, images, and categories) and orders out of Shopify using credentials the merchant supplies in the migration wizard.
  • Everything imported becomes a native Brainerce record. There is no ongoing link back to the Shopify object, no mirroring, and nothing is ever written to Shopify.
  • Re-running the import does not reconcile; it imports again. Treat it as a starting catalog, not a sync.

Install the Migration Tool from the marketplace to use it. The merchant-facing walkthrough is Import from another platform.

What this means when you build against Brainerce

Storefronts and integrations should treat imported products exactly like any other Brainerce product: same ids, same endpoints, same SDK. Nothing about a product's origin is exposed at the API level, and there is no Shopify-specific field to read.

If you are writing a new connector for a platform Brainerce should sync with continuously, see Adding a New Connector.
