Setup guide
Follow our step-by-step Shopify setup guide to connect Shopify with your destination using Fivetran connectors.
Sync overview
We use hard deletes to remove records from the following tables:
ABANDONED_CHECKOUT_DISCOUNT_CODEABANDONED_CHECKOUT_LINEABANDONED_CHECKOUT_SHIPPING_LINEABANDONED_CHECKOUT_URL_TAGCOLLECTION_METAFIELDCUSTOMER_ADDRESSCUSTOMER_METAFIELDCUSTOMER_TAGCUSTOMER_TAX_EXEMPTIONDISCOUNT_ALLOCATIONDISCOUNT_APPLICATIONDRAFT_ORDER_LINEDRAFT_ORDER_LINE_TAX_LINEDRAFT_ORDER_METAFIELDDRAFT_ORDER_NOTE_ATTRIBUTEDRAFT_ORDER_TAGFULFILLMENT_ORDERFULFILLMENT_ORDER_FULFILLMENT_HOLDFULFILLMENT_ORDER_LINE_ITEMORDER_DISCOUNT_CODEORDER_LINEORDER_METAFIELDORDER_NOTE_ATTRIBUTEORDER_RISKORDER_SHIPPING_LINEORDER_SHIPPING_TAX_LINEORDER_TAGORDER_URL_TAGPRICE_RULE_ENT_COLLECTIONPRICE_RULE_ENT_COUNTRYPRICE_RULE_ENT_PRODUCTPRICE_RULE_ENT_VARIANTPRICE_RULE_PREREQ_COLLECTIONPRICE_RULE_PREREQ_CUSTOMERPRICE_RULE_PREREQ_CUSTOMER_SEGMENTPRICE_RULE_PREREQ_PRODUCTPRICE_RULE_PREREQ_VARIANTPRODUCT_IMAGEPRODUCT_IMAGE_METAFIELDPRODUCT_METAFIELDPRODUCT_TAGPRODUCT_VARIANTPRODUCT_VARIANT_METAFIELDPROVINCETAX_LINE
Incremental sync
We cannot track incremental updates for the following tables because the necessary parameters are not available in Shopify's API:
COUNTRYCUSTOMER_SAVED_SEARCHLOCATIONGIFT_CARDUSERCUSTOMER_SEGMENTSSHOPMETAFIELDPAYOUT
As a result, we sync data for the above tables once a day. However, you can sync the latest data by syncing each table manually. See our table re-sync documentation for more information.
Sync limitations
If an update in a child object does not trigger an update in its parent object, we do not capture it until the parent object is updated. For example, if the productVariantMetafield object is updated, we do not capture the update until its parent object, productId is updated.
Schema information
This schema applies to all Shopify connectors.

Fivetran supports Shopify's Metafield resource. We support the metafields of the following tables:
COLLECTIONCUSTOMERDRAFT_ORDERORDERPRODUCTPRODUCT_IMAGEPRODUCT_VARIANTSHOP
To sync your Shopify account's metafields to your destination, you must sync the METAFIELD table. Also, sync all applicable metafields of any resources for which you have configured metafields. For example, the COLLECTION_METAFIELD or CUSTOMER_METAFIELD table.
All the metafields data for the resources you have selected will appear in the METAFIELD table in your destination following the next incremental sync. The owner column indicates the resource the metafields data refers to.
Syncing empty tables and columns
The Shopify connector doesn't support the creation of empty tables and columns in your destination.
We create a table in the destination only if we can retrieve the table data from the source. If Shopify doesn’t return data for the source table, we don’t create the table in your destination.
