Shopify to QuickBooks Desktop

Learn how to integrate CRM with E-commerce application

Overview

DBSync's Shopify connector is highly customizable. It can connect your Shopify instance with additional applications - like CRM software and other systems. As a Shopify user, you can also use this connector to integrate Shopify with other On-demand, On-premise, or SaaS-based applications - such as MSCRM, Salesforce, SkuVault, and databases.

The Shopify connector exposes all standard objects available within the connected user's Shopify instance. So, while reading/ writing the data, the Shopify connector passes the data for all fields that are mapped within the project.

• Have a valid license to DBSync Shopify connector, username, and password to connect to DBSync iPaaS platform.
