This article will guide you through the process of connecting your Shopify store with Mirakl Connect, for the purpose of synchronizing your Shopify products and offers with the Jinius Marketplace. This will allow all the products you want to appear easily and seamlessly. This guide will focus on the first step of the process which is associating your Shopify store with your Jinius Marketplace store.
Requirements
In order to connect your Shopify account with Jinius, there are some requirements:
- In your Shopify Account, all products need to have a “Shop SKU” value. Whichever products don’t have this will not be able to be synced.
- Your Seller account needs to already be created on the Jinius Marketplace.
Creating a Mirakl Connect Account
In order to achieve the connection of Shopify with Jinius Marketplace, you need to create an account with Mirakl Connect. This is a system that makes sure all data is properly exchanged between your Shopify Account and the Jinius Marketplace.
To create your Mirakl Connect account:
- Go to https://miraklconnect.com/signup/seller and fill on your Email Address.
Important: In the “Email” field, use the same email as the one you to log into your Jinius Marketplace account. - Next, fill in some details about your company:
- Now, link your Jinius Marketplace Store with the account, by selecting it and then pressing the "Create Mirakl Account":
- Last, fill in your name, accept the terms and conditions and press "Accept".
-
Your Jinius Marketplace store is now connected to your Mirakl Connect Account! You can connect to it using your credentials from here.
Connecting your Shopify Account to the Jinius Marketplace
Now we need to authorize the connection between your Shopify account and Mirakl Connect.
To do this:
- Log into your Shopify Account, then click on "Home" in the top-left corner.
- In the address bar of your browser, make a note of the Store Name as shown in the following screenshot:
- Log into Mirakl Connect with your credentials.
- Go to the Shopify option from the menu. In the field, enter the Store Name you found from step #2 and add ".myshopify.com" at the end.
In the example of this guide, the store name would be: jinius-test-store.myshopify.com
- Once you have filled in this field, press “Install”.
- If you are requested to, log in with your Shopify credentials.
- After being logged in, you will be taken to the following page. Here click on the “Install app” button.
- Once you do this, you will be returned to the Mirakl Connect page and it will start reading your products from your Shopify account. This process can take quite a long time, so we suggest waiting at least 2-3 hours until it is completed.
