How to integrate your Clover POS products with Shopify<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now that you have connected with Clover and Shopify, you can add the necessary actions and run a few tests. We suggest adding the Standard Action (non-variant) first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n


Note the unique identifier for Clover is the product SKU. The unique identifier for Shopify is the product SKU also. So, both the SKU fields have to match.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Create a Simple Product (Send Standard Action)<\/strong>\u00a0from Clover to Shopify<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Item has a SKU<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Item is Active in POS<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Item has a Product Name<\/strong> in the POS<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Item has Inventory Value (Zero or higher) in Clover<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Item has Price Value (Zero or higher) in Clover<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. Item has a Category in Clover (categories are required to create new products)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
    \"file\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    See Standard Actions Needed Below<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
    \n


    To restrict specific products from going up to your website just add the Print Label \u2018instoreOnly\u2019 in your Clover POS. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

    See the snapshot example for\u00a0the\u00a0instoreOnly label<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Create Matrix Products (variants) from Clover to Shopify<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. See standard item sync above.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Matrix (variant) Parent Name is needed and will be displayed as the primary product name with attributes and options.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
      \n

      Note: Matrix products need to be built properly in Clover using the POS hardware or the Clover UI.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

      See the item Variant Example below.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

      Variant Attributes and Options \u2013 Colors, Sizes, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

      See Matrix (Variant) Actions Needed Below<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      \n

      Price adjustments in Clover is a trigger to sync new items, and not inventory. When adding new products, we suggest adding the SKU first, and the price update last. To test, change price by a penny, hit save, and change back, hit save again.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

      \n

      Note: The time stamp for inventory sync from Clover is different from the time stamp to create new products in Clover. So, running your Send Products Action after a sale in your POS will not update inventory. You will need to RUN your Update Inventory Levels Action in this case. To test, adjust inventory, hit save, and change back.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

      \n


      Now view your TASK Activity logs and for support, upload the Full log to a Support Ticket for further assistance.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

      \"file\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

      See the example list below of Clover and Shopify’s available actions to sync products. To see a full list, please log into eSync, choose the two logos, and your full list will appear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Below are the basic mapped fields that the Clover API can support today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      The standard mappings from Clover -> Shopify are<\/strong> below<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      *Clover SKU -> Product SKU
      *Clover Price -> Price
      *Clover Inventory -> Inventory
      *Clover Product Code -> Product Barcode UPC
      *Clover Item Name -> Product Name
      *Clover Category 1 -> Product Type
      *Shopify Store Name -> Shopify Vendor (this is required to create a new product)
      *Clover Product Name + ID -> Product TAG field<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      The Clover API at this time does not support syncing of the following<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      *Images and Descriptions<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      See the article on – Kosmos activity log and status codes<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      See the article \u2018How to trigger point of sale updates for an integration.<\/a>\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      See the video example of a Bulk Migration of Items and Inventory from your POS<\/a> to your Shopping Cart and the following article, Kosmos Bulk Migrations<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
