Shopify embedded app
Last updated: April 2026
The Sour Sync Shopify app runs embedded inside the Shopify admin. Merchants can link an existing Sour Sync account or create a new one during install — both paths are secured by a password check.
Installing the app
- Visit the Shopify App Store listing and click Add app
- Approve the requested scopes in Shopify
- You land in the 4-step onboarding wizard inside Shopify admin
The onboarding wizard
- Step 1 — Account: create a Sour Sync account or link an existing one. Both paths require a password.
- Step 2 — Business: choose business type and inventory size from a visual card grid.
- Step 3 — Location: enter your business address. Autocomplete is available; address is required.
- Step 4 — Done: first sync starts automatically.
Linking an existing account
If you already have a Sour Sync account, choose Link Existing Account and sign in with your email and password. Your Shopify store attaches to that workspace — not a new one.
What gets synced on install
- Shopify products and variants are pulled into your catalog
- Inventory levels at the primary Shopify location map to your default Sour Sync warehouse
- New orders placed on Shopify appear in the Orders dashboard within seconds
Uninstalling
Removing the app from Shopify admin revokes the OAuth token and flips the Sour Sync channel status to Disconnected. Your catalog stays in Sour Sync — nothing is deleted.
TIP
If the app shows a blank screen inside Shopify admin, clear cookies for the myshopify.com domain and relaunch. This resolves most session-cookie edge cases.
