Connect /Shopify
Fishbowl + Shopify integration

Shopify orders in Fishbowl. No re-typing.

LilyPad Connect turns every Shopify order into a Fishbowl sales order, sends the tracking number back to Shopify when you ship, and keeps your Shopify stock matched to what Fishbowl says is on the shelf.

Sound familiar?
Someone re-types every web order.
Copying Shopify orders into Fishbowl by hand costs hours a week, and every typo becomes a wrong shipment.
Shopify sells what you don't have.
When Shopify's stock count drifts from Fishbowl's, you oversell, cancel and apologise.
"Where's my order?"
The package left days ago, but Shopify still shows the order as unfulfilled with no tracking number.
What syncs

Exactly what moves, and which way.

Each of these is its own switch: turn on what you need, set how often it runs, and run it on demand whenever you want.

Orders
SHOPIFY → FISHBOWL
New Shopify orders are created as Fishbowl sales orders, with the customer, billing and shipping addresses, line items, prices and carrier. Nobody re-keys a thing.
Fulfillment & tracking
FISHBOWL → SHOPIFY
When the order ships in Fishbowl, Connect marks it fulfilled in Shopify with the tracking number, so the order status your customer sees is always current.
Inventory
FISHBOWL → SHOPIFY
Fishbowl's stock levels are pushed to Shopify for each location you choose, so the store only sells what's really on the shelf.
Returns
BOTH WAYS
Returns opened in Shopify come into Fishbowl. Once you receive the goods back in Fishbowl, the return is processed and closed in Shopify. Fishbowl Advanced only.
Products
SHOPIFY → FISHBOWL
Bring your Shopify catalog into Fishbowl instead of building it twice. Fishbowl Advanced only.
Getting started

We set it up with you.

1
Install the Connect app on Shopify
Approve the app in your Shopify admin. No passwords to hand over.
2
We map it to your Fishbowl
Products, customers, carriers and locations are matched to how your Fishbowl is set up — by people who know the Fishbowl database.
3
Choose the schedule and go live
Decide how often each sync runs. Every run is logged, and anything that fails is flagged with the reason.
Built around your store

Your workflow isn't standard. The sync doesn't have to be either.

We add rules for the way you actually work. One store sells personalised products: Connect copies each line's personalisation into the Fishbowl sales order and flags the order for the team that makes it.

✓ Hosted and supported by LilyPad ✓ Every record logged, with the reason for anything that fails ✓ Also syncs your other channels from the same place
