The Shopify Source Connector ingests commerce data from your Shopify store — orders, products, and customers — into Popsink pipelines through the Shopify Admin API. It runs on a configurable schedule, making your storefront data available for revenue analytics, inventory monitoring, and customer insights.

Key Features

  • Core commerce resources: ingests orders, products, and customers by default; the resource list can be customized.
  • Admin API integration: uses a custom app access token scoped to exactly the data you allow.
  • Scheduled ingestion: flexible scheduling by minutes, hours, or days, with an immediate first run on creation.

Prerequisites

  • A Shopify store with permission to create custom apps.
  • An Admin API access token: in your Shopify admin, go to Settings → Apps and sales channels → Develop apps, create a custom app, grant it the Admin API access scopes read_orders, read_products, and read_customers, then install the app and copy the access token.

Scheduling

API source connectors run on a schedule rather than streaming continuously. A first run is always triggered immediately after the connector is created; subsequent runs depend on the selected mode:
ModeBehaviorExample
daysRuns every N days at 00:00 UTC + offset (in minutes)Offset 30 → every day at 00:30 UTC
hoursRuns every N hours at :00 + offset (in minutes)Offset 15 → 00:15, 01:15, 02:15, …
minutesRuns every N minutes, anchored on the connector creation timeCreated 10:03, interval 10 → 10:13, 10:23, …
