Shopify Integration

What the App Is

Shopify is a platform that helps businesses create their own online stores. You can manage your inventory and orders with ease. This creates a powerful and sophisticated shopping experience for you and your customers.

The Simpu integration with Shopify lets you manage your customers and their orders. You could do the following:

  1. View your customer’s Shopify data linked to their email or phone number.



  1. Modify their data, this includes their biodata and orders.

  1.  Create new orders for a customer.




How it works:

When you click on a message, we pull the information tied to the sender of that message. For example, we pull your customer data through their email address when you click on the email you received from them.




How to install

To install an app, please, do the following:

Step 1

Sign in to Simpu.


Step 2

At the top left corner, click on the settings icon.


Step 3

A page with a left sidebar opens up.


Step 4

Shopify can be found in the all apps section or installed apps sections (if you have previously installed it). You could also search for it.

Step 6

Once Shopify is clicked on, a new page opens up containing a blue ‘Install now’ button. Click on the “Install now” button.


Step 7

A modal pops open containing fields; Name and Account Name.
  1. The Name field indicates the name given to that particular installation of the Shopify app (Simpu allows for multiple installations of the same app).
  2. For the Account Name field, the value entered should be picked from your Shopify account’s URL domain.
  3. A Shopify account domain is in the form of account-name.myshopify.com. The text in the ‘account-name’ area of the domain is what Simpu requires for this field
  4. You could also fully enter your entire Shopify domain (e.g. account-name.myshopify.com), after filling in these values, click on the connect button at the bottom right of the modal.


Step 8
