Shopify mappings

Map Shopify locations and values to their HotWax Commerce equivalents.

Mappings translate Shopify locations and order or product values into HotWax Commerce records. Review mappings before starting inventory, product, or order synchronization.

Map inventory locations

1. Open the Company App.

2. Go to Shopify.

3. Select a connection.

4. Open Inventory locations.

5. Click Run facility audit.

6. Review every active Shopify location.

7. Map each location to the matching HotWax facility.

8. Save the changes.

9. Run the audit again and resolve remaining gaps.

Map multiple physical stores to one facility only when the approved inventory design requires it.

1. Open the connection.

2. Select Shipping methods.

3. Review the Shopify shipping option.

Sales-channel mappings determine how imported orders are categorized.

Review new Shopify product types after catalog changes and map any uncategorized values.

Verify mapping readiness

Return to the Shopify connection and review the mapping summaries.

Before activation, confirm:

• Active inventory locations are mapped

• Shipping methods used by live orders are mapped

• Payment methods used by live orders are mapped

• Shopify order sources are mapped to sales channels

• Product types used by the current catalog are mapped

Starter mappings accelerate setup, but they must still be reviewed against the implementation design.
