Importing from Shopify

After connecting your Shopify store, the next step is importing your products into Peasy. You don't have to import everything at once — pick and choose what you need, and come back for more later.

How to Get There

Click Configure (gear icon) in the sidebar, then select Integrations > Shopify. After you sync products, review them in the Shopify import area.

How the Import Works

The import happens in three stages:

1. Sync

Peasy pulls your latest product data from Shopify. This brings in product names, variants, prices, images, and inventory levels.

2. Review and Group

Your Shopify products appear in a staging area where you can:

• Review items — See what's coming in from Shopify
• Group variants — Peasy uses AI to suggest how to group your Shopify variants into parent items. For example, "Coffee - 12oz" and "Coffee - 5lb" might be grouped under "Coffee."
• Set units and conversions — Define what unit each variant represents and how they convert to your inventory unit
• Assign categories — Organize items into your Peasy categories
• Match to existing items — If you already have items in Peasy, you can link Shopify products to them instead of creating duplicates

3. Import

Once you're happy with the grouping and settings, click import. Peasy creates the items in your catalog with all the right units, conversions, and links back to Shopify.

Step by Step

1. Go to Configure > Shopify.
2. Click Sync to pull the latest products from your store.
3. Review the staging area — adjust groupings, units, and categories as needed.
4. Select the items you want to import.
5. Click Import to create them in Peasy.

Matching to Existing Items

If you've already added some items manually, Peasy can match Shopify products to them:

• AI suggestions — Peasy suggests matches based on names and descriptions
• Manual matching — You can manually link a Shopify product to an existing Peasy item

Matched items get linked rather than duplicated — so inventory stays accurate.

Common Questions

Will importing overwrite my existing items? No. Peasy matches incoming Shopify products by SKU. Unmatched products create new items, while matched products are linked to your existing Peasy items. Nothing gets deleted or overwritten.

How often does Shopify sync run? Shopify sends real-time webhooks for product and order updates, so changes are reflected quickly. You can also trigger a manual sync from Configure > Shopify for a bulk refresh. See Shopify Sync and Webhooks for details.

Can I import only some products from Shopify? Yes. After syncing, your products appear in a staging area where you review and select which items to import. You can skip anything you don't need and come back for it later.

What happens to Shopify variants? Each Shopify variant becomes a separate item in Peasy. During the review step, Peasy uses AI to suggest how to group variants under parent items — for example, grouping "Coffee - 12oz" and "Coffee - 5lb" under "Coffee."

Does importing affect my Shopify store? No. The import is read-only from Shopify to Peasy. Your Shopify products, inventory levels, and store settings are not changed during import.

Good to Know

• Imports are partial — You don't have to import everything. Import what you need now and come back for the rest later.
• Import is non-destructive — It creates new items or links to existing ones. Nothing gets deleted.
• Prices and images from Shopify are carried over during import.
• After import, inventory sync keeps your Shopify and Peasy quantities aligned. See Shopify Sync.
