Shopify Blog

This guide details how to integrate Frontman with your Shopify store to import product and customer data directly for training your chatbot. This allows your chatbot to access relevant information about your products and potentially personalize interactions with your customers.

Steps to Follow

In Shopify-

1. Configure Shopify App:

   • Log in to your Shopify store: Go to your Shopify admin panel and log in to your store.

   • Navigate to Apps and sales channels: Click on Settings > Apps and sales channels.

• Develop apps: Click on Develop apps.

• Create an app: Click on Create an app and enter your app name.

• Configure Admin API scopes: Scroll down and tick all the necessary permissions (scopes) for your app. For example, if you need to read product information, select the “Read products” scope.

• Save the app: Click Save at the bottom of the page.

• Install the app: Scroll up and click Create app at the bottom-right corner of the dashboard.

• Get the Admin API access token: After installation, you’ll be redirected to a screen displaying your Admin API access token. Reveal the token once and store it safely, as you’ll need it soon.

In Frontman-

1. Set Up Frontman Data Pipeline:

   • Access the data loader section and Select "Shopify Blog" as the data source.

• You'need to provide the following information:

  • ShopName: Simply add your shop name. Ex- https://example.myshopify.com

  • Authentication: You might need to provide Admin token to authorize Frontman to access your Shopify data.

1. Configure Data Import Settings:

Define how often you want to import data from Shopify. Options might include "Manual", "Daily", or "Weekly". Selecting "Manual" allows you to trigger data imports on demand.

1. Once you've configured the data source and settings, initiate the data import process. Frontman will retrieve data from your Shopify store based on the defined frequency or your manual trigger. Once connected, you can check the data bank for imported data.
