Shopify Sync and Webhooks
After you've imported products from Shopify, Peasy keeps things in sync automatically. When inventory changes in either system, the other one updates to match.
How to Get There
Click Configure (gear icon) in the sidebar, then select Integrations > Shopify. Use Sync History to review recent Shopify activity.
How Sync Works
Peasy to Shopify
When inventory changes in Peasy (from receives, sales, counts, or transfers), Peasy pushes the updated quantity to Shopify. Your Shopify store always reflects your current stock.
Shopify to Peasy
When inventory changes in Shopify (from online sales, manual adjustments, or other apps), Shopify sends a notification to Peasy, which updates accordingly.
This is a two-way sync — changes flow in both directions to keep everything aligned.
What Stays in Sync
| Data | Synced? |
|---|---|
| Inventory quantities | Yes — both directions |
| Product names/descriptions | Imported initially, not continuously synced |
| Prices | Imported initially, not continuously synced |
| New products | Peasy notifies you of new Shopify products via alerts |
New Product Alerts
When you add new products in Shopify after the initial import, Peasy doesn't import them automatically. Instead, you'll see an alert letting you know there are new Shopify products available to import. You can then go to the Shopify settings page to review and import them.
Reviewing New Products
When you add new products in Shopify and import them into Peasy, they go through a staging process before becoming live items:
- Data lands in staging — Imported products appear in a review area, not directly in your inventory.
- You review and organize — Check names, categories, units, and groupings. Peasy's AI may suggest groupings and matches.
- You confirm the import — Only after you approve does Peasy create the actual items.
In staging, you can:
- Edit item names and fix typos before items are created
- Group variants — Multiple Shopify variants can be grouped under one parent item
- Set units and conversions — Define buy/sell units and conversion ratios
- Match to existing items — Link incoming items to items already in Peasy instead of creating duplicates
- Import partially — Import some items now and leave others in staging for later

Good to Know
- Sync is automatic — you don't need to manually trigger it. Changes propagate within seconds to minutes.
- Loop prevention — Peasy has built-in safeguards to prevent sync loops (where a change bounces back and forth between systems endlessly).
- Sync logs — Peasy tracks every sync event, so you can see exactly what was pushed or pulled and when.
- Only linked items sync — Items that were imported from Shopify (or manually linked) participate in sync. Unlinked items are independent.
- If sync gets out of alignment, you can trigger a manual sync from the Shopify settings page.
