Integrating Shopify

Items Needed to Embed Your Shopify Account:

• Create a Private App: The shop owner must first create a Private App. For detailed instructions, visit Shopify's guide on Private Apps.

• Generate a Shopify URL: Ensure you create a Shopify URL in the format "pizza.myshopify.com." Do not include "http" in the URL.

• Obtain the Storefront Access Token: This token is generated when creating the Private App. Simply copy and paste the token into our form.

Next, add the Store URL and Access Token to your Virtual Booth settings. Be sure to click "Save Details" and refresh your screen to view all your products.

Now, when someone comes to your Booth, if they want to purchase any items, they just click "Add to Cart" and fill they're cart until they're ready to checkout. When they click "Checkout" it takes them to the Shopify Checkout to collect payment. For a video of how this works, please see below: 

Remove Products from your EventHub Booth

If you need to remove products from displaying, you will need to make them unavailable via your Shopify account.

For example, let's focus on the first product in this list, "Counter 2-Pack." 

This is how it appears on your EventHub booth. 

To remove it, login to Shopify,

1. Go to your Products Tab and click All Products
2. Search for the Product you'd like to remove
3. Check the checkbox next to the product name (You can also bulk select multiple products at once, by marking the checkboxes next to all of them)
4. Click on the "More Actions" dropdown
5. Choose "Remove available channel(s)..." 

In the pop up that appears, leave only your Shopify store selected. 

Hit the "Make products unavailable" button to save.

Now, on the product list, if you click the "Active" status dropdown, you should see the list of places the item is available on. You should not see your EventHub booth shop in this list. 

Now go back to your booth on EventHub and click the "Save Details" button the bottom right -- the Product should be gone! 

Setting Up Collections

Log into your Shopify account and go to Products > Collections section. Tap the + button. Enter a title and description for the collection. Tap the image icon to upload an image for the collection.

Whats the difference between Shopify Tags Vs. Collections: 

While collections are used to group products with similar features, Shopify Tags can be used as matching conditions to sort products into your automatic collections.
