Shopify integration

Social posts from your Shopify store, made for you

Synapis reads your products, collections, stock and recent orders, then writes and designs posts around what actually sells. You review each one before it goes to Facebook, Instagram or LinkedIn.

Connects with a read-only custom app you create in Shopify.

From catalogue to published post

Four steps, and you only take part in two of them.

  1. 1

    Synapis reads your site

    It learns your brand colours, tone of voice and what you sell from your own website. No questionnaire.

  2. 2

    Connect Shopify

    Create a custom app in your Shopify admin with four read scopes, install it on your store and paste its credentials into Synapis.

  3. 3

    It plans the week

    Posts are spread across content pillars built from your data: best sellers, current offers, new arrivals and products you have in stock.

  4. 4

    You review, then publish

    Each post arrives by email with its caption and design. Edit it, swap the product or regenerate it, then publish or schedule in one click.

What your Shopify data does

The connector reads four kinds of data, and each one shapes the posts.

Best sellers from real orders

Units sold over the last 30 days rank your products, so the posts feature what your customers already buy.

Offers with the numbers in

When a product has a compare-at price, the offer post leads with the biggest discount and puts both prices in the caption.

New arrivals, promptly

Products listed in the last two weeks get their own post, so launches do not wait for someone to remember them.

In-stock showcases

Stock levels from Shopify inventory decide which products the showcase posts feature.

A link to the product

Captions link to the product page on your storefront, so a post leads straight to the checkout.

Your photos, restaged

Each design uses your own product photo, placed in a fitting scene with the product itself left untouched.

How to connect Shopify

Synapis connects through a custom app that you create for your own store, not through the Shopify App Store. It takes a few minutes. In your Shopify admin, open Settings, then Apps and sales channels, then Develop apps, and create an app. You can also create one in the Shopify Dev Dashboard, where you release a version before installing it.

Give the app four read scopes: read_products, read_inventory, read_content and read_orders. Install it on your store, then paste its client ID and client secret into Synapis. An older Admin API access token that starts with shpat_ works too. Synapis tests the connection before saving it.

The app belongs to you, so you control its permissions and can revoke it whenever you like. Synapis only asks for read access and never writes to your store.

How much gets posted

The weekly plan scales with your catalogue. A store with 50 or more products that have photos gets at least four product posts a week, 30 or more gets three, 10 or more gets two, and smaller stores get one, with an educational post alongside when the catalogue is small. These are minimums, and you set the schedule: daily, on chosen weekdays, monthly or yearly, at the time of day you pick.

Products rotate. Anything not yet featured goes first, and a product waits three weeks before it appears again.

Shopify questions

Is Synapis a Shopify App Store app?

No. You connect it with a custom app that you create in your own Shopify admin or Dev Dashboard. That keeps the permissions in your hands and needs no App Store install.

Which Shopify permissions does it need?

Four read scopes: read_products, read_inventory, read_content and read_orders. The orders scope is what lets Synapis rank best sellers by real sales.

Can Synapis change my products or prices?

No. The connector only runs read queries. It never creates, edits or deletes anything in your store.

Will it use product reviews?

Not for Shopify, which has no native reviews API. Review-based "customer favourite" posts are available for WooCommerce stores.

How often does it sync?

Every night, and whenever you press Sync now. Sale prices that have ended are cleared on the next sync.
