For sellers on Diceblock who already own and operate a Shopify store, we provide a method to automatically import your products into Diceblock and sync orders and inventory back to your store!

We do this using a Private Apps

2. Create a Private App

Navigate to the Apps tab of your Shopify admin panel.  On the bottom of the page, click Manage Private Apps.

On the top left of your page, click Create new private app.

For the app name, it can be anything you want, but we recommend "Diceblock Connector"

For the emergency developer email, put your own email.

3. Permissions

Click Save at the bottom of your app

4. Plug your app into Shopify

Navigate to the Seller App Settings on your seller dashboard.

Plug in the url of your Shopify store in the following format:

<mystorefront>.myshopify.com, i.e. diceblocktestfront.myshopify.com

For API Key, copy the API Key from the Admin API section of your Private App.

For Secret Key, show and copy the Password from your Private App.

If you are using a 3rd party drop-shipping app like Oberlo, select USING THIRD PARTY APPS FOR DROP SHIPPING.

Click Save.  Confirm a success message popped up, otherwise double check all information.  If you can't get this to work, contact us.

5. Map your Product Types

Before you can import any products, you must first map your product types onto Diceblock's fixed set of product types.  Navigate to Map Product Types.

Look at all the products you want to import into Diceblock.  Look at the Product Type, or just Type, field you have entered in Shopify.  For each of these types, click Map Type.

For "PRODUCT BRAND NAMES OF YOUR STORE", enter the text name of that type. For "PRODUCT TYPE NAME OF MERCHANT STORE",  select from the dropdown which Diceblock type best fits.

You must do this for every unique product type you plan to import into Diceblock.

6. Import Products

Navigate to Import Shopify Products.

You have 3 options to select which products to import:

• Select products by creation date.
• Enter a list of Product IDs
• Enter a list of Product Handles

Click Import Products

If you see a failure at this step, confirm that:

• Your respective Product IDs or Handles are correct
• You have mapped every single product type you are trying to import

 If you can't get this to work, contact us.

7. Make sure everything looks right

We will import your products automatically in the background.  It might not be instant to see your products pop up.

Browse through your products.  Make sure that everything looks correct!
