Integrate Shopify with JMango360
This article will provide insights into the seamless integration of Shopify and JMango360, including deep backend integration, JMango360 app installation, backend store access, and some information for the validation process.
1. About Shopify integration
One of the core functionalities of the JMango360 offering is the in-depth and seamless integration with Shopify. The mobile app fetches data directly from the Shopify admin and interacts with Shopify via the API.
The following information is fetched from Shopify:
- Customers: Data sets related to customers, customer groups and segments, and storefront sign in
- Catalog: Data associated with product management, variants, brands, stock, bulk pricing, and more
- Carts and orders: Information on cart and order experiences
- Webhooks: The synchronization of critical events related to products and orders
Here are some key benefits that you, as a merchant, can gain from the integration with Shopify:
- You can manage your product information, including stock information, inventory, and customer data in one place.
- The integration eliminates the need for extensive custom coding, resulting in cost savings related to development resources and maintenance.
- It is easier for you to iterate and make updates to the app, especially if you need to respond quickly to changing market trends, update product catalogs, or introduce new features to stay competitive.
In addition, the integration is also beneficial to your customers. The shopping session between the website and the app will be aligned, ensuring a seamless experience for customers. They can enjoy a consistent and seamless shopping journey between the website and the app.

With the coupon codes shared, we can conduct thorough testing and verification of the coupon-related features and ensure that the coupon codes are functioning correctly and delivering the intended outcomes.
