Shopify

HYGO Shop connects to Shopify stores through the Shopify Admin API and Shopify Partners-issued access tokens. Once connected, HYGO Shop reads your products, customers, and orders, writes back AI-improved product copy you've approved, and triggers multi-channel publishing flows from individual products.

What gets imported​

  • Products — title, description, variants, images, prices, inventory status. Imported on connect, then incremental.
  • Customers — for abandoned-cart recovery and reorder reminders. Customer PII is encrypted at rest.
  • Orders — for reorder cadence prediction and lifetime-value modeling. Order line items reference product IDs only — no card data is ever read.

What gets written back​

Only what you explicitly approve in HYGO Shop's review queue:

  • Updated product titles, descriptions, and short descriptions.
  • New product images (when you generate them inside HYGO Shop).
  • Inventory level adjustments — only if you've enabled Reorder workflows.

HYGO Shop never modifies a Shopify product without an explicit approval click.

Permissions​

HYGO Shop requests these Shopify Admin API scopes:

  • read_products, write_products
  • read_customers
  • read_orders
  • read_inventory, write_inventory (only enabled if you opt into Reorder workflows)

We do not request write_customers, write_orders, or any payment-related scope.

Setup​

  1. From your HYGO Shop dashboard, click Connect Shopify.
  2. Enter your myshopify.com URL.
  3. Approve HYGO Shop's permission request inside Shopify.
  4. Initial sync starts automatically. Most stores complete inside 2 minutes.

Disconnect​

From your Shopify admin → Settings → Apps and sales channels → HYGO Shop → Uninstall. HYGO Shop receives the uninstall webhook immediately, marks all your tenant data for deletion, and purges within 30 days. You can also request immediate deletion from the HYGO Shop dashboard before uninstalling.

See Data handling for retention specifics.
