Shopify is an e-commerce platform. You can connect Shopify to Digistore24. This transfers orders to Shopify and they can be further processed there, e.g., for fulfillment purposes. In case of returns, a cancellation of the order is transferred.
To connect Shopify to Digistore24, you need to set up an IPN connection for the target system Shopify in Digistore24.
Note
Shopify is a paid service. You can find more information here.

Note
Use the Test connection button to check whether the IPN connection you have set up works and IPNs are transferred to the target system.
Tip
You can create multiple IPN connections for a target system and thereby cover different use cases. The use cases that are possible and appropriate also depend on the target system.
Examples
- Data is to be transferred to multiple email lists or campaigns.
- When a payment is made, the customer should be added to an email list, and when a refund occurs, the customer should be removed from an email list.
- For certain products an IPN should only be sent for customer orders, for other products it should also be sent for affiliate partnerships.
Set up a separate IPN connection for each use case for the respective target system.
