Shopify Integration
Use LynkPIM as the controlled source of truth for Shopify product content, variants, assets, and publishing workflows.
Last updated: 2026-03-21
What syncs
- Product titles, descriptions, handles, and marketing copy
- Variants, options, identifiers, and core media
- Collections, merchandising-ready attributes, and status-driven publish scopes
Directionality and supported entities
- Primary flow from LynkPIM to Shopify for governed publish-ready data
- Optional import patterns for initial data migration or reconciliation
- Products
- Variants
- Collections or categories
- Images and supporting media
Mapping behavior and scheduling
- Map shared product attributes once and reserve overrides for Shopify-specific needs
- Keep variant mapping explicit so option values and identifiers stay predictable
- Manual publish for controlled launches
- Scheduled sync windows for routine catalog refreshes
Auth, setup, and retry handling
- Create a dedicated connector account and API credentials
- Define environment, store scope, and category pilot before enabling recurring syncs
- Track failed publishes by product set and field mapping
- Retry after correcting validation issues instead of bypassing governance

Integration FAQs
Can Shopify variants be controlled from LynkPIM?
Yes. Variant relationships and identifiers should be modeled in the PIM and then synced into Shopify.
Should teams still edit products directly in Shopify?
Teams should limit direct edits if they want one governed product source of truth.
