Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
What counts as "Online orders" in Shopify?
Any order that is paid for through your Shopify online store.
It is currently recommended you only map online orders to 1 area in Deputy at this time. We do not support mapping to multiple areas or locations at the moment.
If you do this you might experience a mismatch of sales in Deputy and Shopify.
What counts as "Retail POS sales" in Shopify?
Any order that was paid through Shopify's physical point-of-sale registers.
Does the integration pull Shopify draft orders?
Yes, however, you are not able to map draft orders to a specific area at this time.
e.g. If you make an order via the Shopify Admin portal but haven't marked as it paid, it will move into a draft state. This order will be pulled into Deputy as a sales record and allocated to the area you have specified in "As a default".
Does the integration support timesheet sync?
Not at this time. Give us feedback if this will help your business.
When do orders get added to Deputy?
Our integration pulls orders from Shopify every 15 minutes. You can manually pull Shopify orders:
1. Click on Edit on your Active integration in the Location you wisht o pull data for.
2. Click on Run Now.
Can I connect multiple Shopify accounts to the same Deputy business?
Not at this time.
