Shopify Product Catalog
Connect your Shopify product catalog to impact.com to automatically keep your product listings up-to-date. For new catalogs, connect using the impact.com Affiliate Marketing app. If you already have a custom app configured for your store, see Connect using a custom app.
Connect using the impact.com app (recommended)
Connecting with the impact.com Affiliate Marketing app is the recommended method. It uses the same app as full affiliate tracking. If you've already installed it on your store, you can skip straight to entering your Base URL below.
Create a catalog asset on impact.com
Sign in to your impact.com account, then in the left navigation menu, select
[Engage] → Content → Products → Product Catalogs.
Select Create Product Catalog Asset → Retail.
Next to Upload Method, select Integrated Shopping Cart Import, then from the drop-down menu, select Shopify.
Next to Shopify Authentication Version, select V3 - Impact App (Recommended).

Install the impact.com app on your Shopify store
Select Install Impact App.
This opens the impact.com Affiliate Marketing app listing in the Shopify App Store.
If you've already installed this app on your store (for example, for affiliate tracking), you don't need to reinstall it, skip to step 3.
Follow the installation steps in Install the impact.com app on your Shopify store to install the app.
Once installed, return to the Create Product Catalog screen in impact.com to complete the rest of the form.
Enter your Shopify store details
Enter the Base URL of your store, including the protocol (for example,
https://my-example-store.myshopify.com).
Optionally, to exclude product variants from the catalog,
[Toggle off] Include Product Variants.
Fill out the rest of the details for your product catalog, then select Save.
Connect using a custom app (alternative)
If you already have a custom app configured for your Shopify store, you can continue using it instead of installing the impact.com affiliate marketing app.
Understand Shopify Authentication Version
When creating or editing a Shopify product catalog, the Shopify Authentication Version field determines how impact.com authenticates with your Shopify store:
V3 - Impact App (Recommended)
Authenticates using the impact.com Affiliate Marketing app installed on your Shopify store. Recommended for all new catalogs.
V2 - Custom app
Authenticates using credentials from a custom app you create in your Shopify Dev Dashboard.
V1 - No app
Authenticates using a legacy Shopify Admin API access token.
If you already have an existing Shopify catalog, impact.com sets its Shopify Authentication Version for you automatically:
If an impact.com app connection was found for your store, your catalog is set to V3 - Impact App (Recommended).
Otherwise, your catalog keeps its existing setup: V2 - clientId & clientSecret if you were using a custom app, or V1 - Legacy access token if you were using the legacy setup.
Upgrade an existing catalog
To upgrade a V1 or V2 catalog, open it for editing and select V3 - Impact App (Recommended) from the Shopify Authentication Version drop-down menu. This unlocks the Base URL field and shows the Install Impact App button, so you can complete the installation steps described above.
Understand how Shopify fields map to impact.com
Once your Shopify catalog is connected, impact.com automatically maps your Shopify product information to the corresponding fields in your impact.com catalog asset.
