Importing products from a third-party system into my Shopify store

You can use APIEase's Shopify Flow Integration to automate the import of products and inventory data from third-party systems into your Shopify store. Whether syncing from a warehouse API, supplier feed, or internal catalog, APIEase enables this process without requiring custom app development or hosting.


How It Works
  1. Start with an APIEase Request
    Create an APIEase request to fetch product and inventory data from the third-party system. This request can be triggered manually, on a schedule, or via a Shopify webhook event.
  2. Pass the Response to Shopify Flow
    Once APIEase receives the external product data, use a chained request to send it to a Shopify Flow Workflow configured by store administrators or developers using a Flow request.
  3. Process the Data in Flow
    Inside the Flow, use a Run Code action to transform, validate, or filter the data received from the third-party system.
  4. Import into Shopify
    Use the Send Admin API request action in Flow to call Shopify's GraphQL Admin API to create or update products and inventory.



Why Use APIEase

While Shopify Flow provides native actions for updating product data, most real-world integrations require:


  • Authenticated API calls to third-party systems
  • The ability to schedule imports
  • Access to response data from external APIs
  • Dynamic control over how data flows into Shopify


APIEase handles these responsibilities, enabling you to build a complete product import pipeline within your Shopify environment.
