Margly.io add-on for Shopify — coming soon#

For Shopify we are preparing the official Margly.io add-on in the Shopify App Store. After release, connection will take under a minute.

How the connection will work (after add-on release)#

  1. Open the add-on in Shopify App Store

    In the Shopify App Store you'll find the Margly.io add-on and click Install.

  2. Approve permissions (second Install click)

    Shopify redirects you to your administration and shows a confirmation screen where you'll see the exact list of data Margly is requesting access to + a link to the privacy policy. Margly requests read-only permissions only:

    • Read orders (regular ones and drafts + line items from marketplace)
    • Read products + inventory
    • Read customers

    After review click Install a second time to confirm. Margly doesn't write to your e-shop — no write permissions are requested.

  3. Margly automatically creates an account

    After approval Margly:

    • Creates an account for you (if you didn't already have one) with your Shopify email as the login
    • Starts a 14-day free trial at the Business level
    • Automatically detects your primary currency from the e-shop and sets it in Margly
    • Starts pulling historical data

    You'll see the first overviews in the order of minutes to dozens of minutes depending on the catalog size and number of orders.

Before the add-on is released#

If you want the connection right now, write to us at support@margly.io with a link to your e-shop. We handle it individually — Shopify allows creating a so-called custom app in the administration with its own Admin API token, so we can set up the connection even without a public add-on from the App Store.

What Margly reads from Shopify#

Margly connects to Shopify via the GraphQL Admin API. Specifically it loads:

  • Products — names, SKUs, selling prices, purchase prices (the Cost per item field in the Shopify administration), VAT rates, variants, inventory
  • Orders — items, discounts, shipping, payment and fulfillment status, date, linked customer
  • Customers — email, name, phone, city

For pulling large catalogs and order histories Margly uses cursor pagination (Shopify standard), so a large e-shop loads without errors and without needing intervention.
