Here, the product import and update settings can be configured. The attributes of the product to be synced between myFulfillment and Shopify can be mapped next to Attributes mapping.

Enabling the Disable update option will restrict the imported products from being updated when the changes are made in Shopify. 

If you are not sure about the functionality of the feature, please get in touch with the BMS support team before enabling the options. 




Order import and update settings

  2. Synchronize From : The order's last synchronization date and time will be displayed.
If the orders are updated till 5 May 2023 23:59:59, the changes made in Prestashop starting from 6 May 2023 24:00:00 will be taken into considerations and any modifications made prior to that will not be synced in myFulfillment. 
  1. Order state settings: The list of statuses available in Shopify will be displayed under Order import and update head. By enabling it, the order will be imported into myFulfillment. 
Orders with Shipped status will be imported and shipped automatically. If the stock for this order is 0, then a force stock import will be created. Reference help document - https://help.boostmyshop.com/portal/en/kb/articles/force-stock-to-import-order


  1. Shipping methods mapping : From here you can map Shopify shipping method with myFulfillment shipping methods. To add a new mapping, click on the "Add" button, fill the Shopify shipping method and select the matching method in connect.
  2. Payment method mapping: From here you can map Magento2 payment method with Connect payment methods. To add a new mapping, click on the "Add" button, fill the magento payment method and select the matching method in connect.
  3. Disable shipping and billing address update : Enabling this will not make any to the shipping/billing address in myFulfillment when they are modified in Shopify. 

Shipping confirmation

Below are list of settings that could be confirgured for shipment confirmation in Shopify. 

Enable fulfillment orders and Send partial shipment : These options allows you to set the desired status to be updated in Shopify once the order sync is done. 
Do not confirm shipment without tracking  :  The delay period  to confirm shipment to Shopify from myFulfillment in the absence of a tracking number can be specified here. 

If not configured here, Connect will not change Shopify order status.

Stock level export settings

Every time the available stock for a product changes, Connect will schedule the update to send to Shopify based on the time interval given in Stock level export feed.

You can configure Connect to send the stocks from several warehouses to Prestashop. For instance, you could send the sum of the main warehouse + a shop + a supplier to Shopify. To achieve that goal, select the different warehouses and save.

Feeds tab 

Once configuration is done, you will have to run and schedule the different feeds available.

Sample: 


Here's the process advised to run all feeds in the correct order :
  1. Run the "Products syncronization" feed manually ("Run now" button) if you have not too much products, and schedule it every hour.
Wait until all products get imported into Connect.
  1. Run the "Orders syncronization" feed manually ("Run now" button) if you have not too much orders to import, and schedule it every 5 minutes.
Wait until all orders get imported into Connect.
  1. Don't schedule and don't run the feed "Shipping confirmation".
  2. Run the "Import stock levels" feed manually only once  time ("Run now" button). Don't schedule it.
Wait until all products stock level get updated into Connect.
Never run manually and don't schedule the "Stock level export" feed at this moment !
It can have disastrous consequencies as the stock of your Magento will be updated with the one in Connect.
  1. The remaining feeds can be scheduled as per your convenience. Please get guidance from BMS support team before scheduling a feed.
