Before Getting Started
When connecting Shopify to Flexport, please make sure any old orders you do not want fulfilled are marked Canceled or Fulfilled. If you do not do this, old orders will import and be fulfilled. Orders will not be able to be reimbursed for double shipping in this way.

Next Steps
If Shopify is your first integration you're connecting — Create an inbound to send us inventory. Learn more in the Inbounds section of the help center.
If Shopify is your 2nd, 3rd, or later integration — We will automatically sync your Shopify catalog with your current catalog. This syncing process is based on the SKU value that we see on your Shopify products. If there is not a current DSKU with the same SKU of a given product, then we create a new DSKU.
