FAQ

What products will be imported?

SaaS automatically identifies all Product Items with " Active " status in Shopify and imports them to SaaS Product Inventory.

Product Items in Shopify's status "Draft" or "Unavailable" will not be imported to SaaS Product Inventory.

What happens if I re-import products?

If you select the "Overwrite existing products" checkbox during the import procedure:

1. SaaS will import all product items from Shopify

2. Product Items that already exist in SaaS Product Inventory will be compared by the Vendor Code property (see Supported Product Item Properties) with the imported product items.

3. For matching products, all properties will be overwritten by values from imported products.

4. For new products (not previously uploaded to SaaS Product Inventory), the new Product Items will be created in SaaS Product Inventory.

Example:

• You have SaaS Product Inventory with: Product A and Product B

• You have Shopify Store with:

  • Product B and Product C having status "Active" in Shopify,

  • Product A and Product D having status "Draft" im Shopify.

When you trigger a new import from the same Shopify Store to SaaS Product Inventory, you will get this result:

• Product B will be updated (overwritten) in Product Inventory by values from Product B in Shopify

• Product C will appear as new product item in Product Inventory

• Product A will NOT be updated in Product Inventory, but will also not be deleted.

• Product D will NOT be imported into Product Inventory

If you do not select the "Overwrite existing products" checkbox during the import procedure, all products already in SaaS Product Inventory will not be updated if the new import contains products with the same Vendor Code (see Supported Product Item Properties).

SaaS Product Inventory does not create duplicate products in this case.

Can I import products from test Shopify stores?

No. SaaS does not support importing products from a Shopify test store that is protected by a password.
