Shopify Setup

Shopify is in closed alpha! If you’d like early access, send us a note.

This guide walks you through setting up Shopify on Sequin.

In just a couple of minutes, you’ll have a Postgres database with all your Shopify data, syncing in real-time.

​

Connect your Shopify Store

First, connect to your Shopify store using your Shopify credentials.

Step 1: Create a new Sequin account at https://app.sequin.io/signup.

Step 2: Select Shopify as the platform you want to sync.

Step 3: Enter your .myshopify.com store domain and click the Connect to Shopify button.

You can find your .myshopify.com domain from the Domains page of your Shopify admin.

Step 4: Login to your Shopify account and then approve the Sequin Shopify app:

Step 5: Select the tables you want to sync. By default, we’ll sync all the tables. You can adjust which tables you sync at anytime.

Step 6: Select the destination database you want to sync your data to. By default, we’ll sync to a new Postgres Database we host for you. Or, we can sync to a new schema in a database you’ve created with Sequin or that you host:

Step 7: Click Create.

After you click Create, we’ll immediately connect to your Shopify store and begin back filling all your data.

​

Connect to your Postgres database

As soon as your database is provisioned, you can connect to it and start querying.

If you chose to sync your data to a Sequin provisioned database, then your database is hosted on AWS RDS. If you chose to sync to a database you are hosting, then you or a database admin will know the details of your hosting.

For this setup guide, we’ll use TablePlus as an example.

Step 1: Download and install TablePlus from https://tableplus.com/.

Step 2: Open TablePlus and click Create a new connection…

Step 3: Click the Import from URL button.

Step 4: Copy and paste the Connect URL from Sequin into the Connection URL in TablePlus then click Import.

Step 5: Then name your TablePlus connection and click Create.

​

Query Shopify with SQL

You’ll now see all your Shopify data represented in Postgres. To start querying, click the SQL button and write your first statement:

select
    customer.id,
    count(order.id),
    sum(order.total_price)
from
    customer
left join public.order
    on order.customer_id = customer.id
group by customer.id;
