General steps to connect stores

This guide shows how to connect two Shopify stores so Tipo Sync can sync products, inventory, and other data between them.

In Multi-store sync, you will connect:

• Source store (sends data)

• Destination store (receives data)

🛠️ Step 1: Install the app and select store types

Before connecting, make sure Tipo Sync is installed on both stores.

Upon first accessing the app, you’ll be prompted to designate the store as either a Source or Destination. Choose the appropriate type for each store. For more information on store types, refer to this guide.

• Install the app on store 1 > select Source store type

• Install the app on store 2 > select Destination store type

🛠️ Step 2: Configure app settings

After the app is installed in 2 stores, check the app Settings in the app in both store and configure it to make sure it works as expected.

Source store:

Destination store

Decide the product data you want to sync in app Settings in Destination store

🛠️ Step 3: Connect a Destination store to a Source store

Note: Connections are initiated from the Destination store.

2. Click Get connect code button

🔄 After the sync

Once connected, Tipo Sync can:

• import/sync products from Source to Destination (based on your selection)

• sync inventory (if you mapped locations and enabled inventory sync)

• keep updates running based on your connection settings

For example:

Product New Shirt is created in source store, the app will automatically creates the product New Shirt product on destination store (same product handle).
