Switch in from Shopify

What comes in

• Products: every variant becomes an item. Items are matched on SKU, so a variant with no SKU cannot be matched and is listed as unreadable.
• Open orders: each order line becomes a line on an open sales order numbered SH-<order number>. A line with no SKU is flagged.
• Ship-to: shown when the store lets the app read it. An order with no ship-to gets the warning Ship-to not provided.
• Cost: the variant's unit cost and price come over when the store holds them.

Nothing is written back to Shopify. Stock levels and fulfillments are not pushed to the store.

Why the totals say they differ

A store reports how many variants it holds, but no stock value and no open purchase orders. Those two show a dash. The item count compares the store's variant count with the items staged, so each variant with no SKU shows up as a difference. Tick I accept the difference to go on.

How to run it

1. Connect your development store on the Shopify screen. Only the owner can. The steps are in Connect Shopify.
2. Open Switch in, pick Shopify and press Pull from Shopify. The screen names the connected store.
3. Not connected? The screen says Connect Shopify first and links to the Shopify screen. Nothing is staged.
4. Check the totals and the changes, then approve, as in How a switch-in works.

A switch-in is a one-time read of products and open orders. The Shopify screen is what keeps new orders coming in afterwards. You can also import a Shopify order export on Orders (Shopify admin, Orders, Export). Each row is one order line. An order that is already in Lockstock is skipped.
