1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for Integration

To integrate Shopify and WordPress, the first step is to access Pabbly Connect. You can sign in to your account or create a new one to get started. If you are new, you can sign up for free and receive 100 tasks to experiment with.

Once signed in, navigate to the dashboard and click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button. Here, you will name your workflow, such as ‘Create New Shopify Blog from WordPress Post.’ Choose the appropriate folder for better organization, and then click on ‘Create’ to proceed.

2. Configuring the Trigger with WordPress

In this section, you will set up the trigger application using Pabbly Connect. Select WordPress as your trigger application and choose the event ‘New Post Published.’ This event will activate the workflow whenever a new post is published on your WordPress site.

Next, you need to configure the webhook URL provided by Pabbly Connect. Follow these steps to set it up:

• Go to your WordPress dashboard.
• Navigate to Settings and then to WP Webhooks.
• Click on ‘Send Data’ and add the webhook URL.
• Name your webhook and select the post type as ‘Post.’

After saving these settings, you are ready to test the trigger by publishing a new post in WordPress. This will allow Pabbly Connect to capture the data from the new post automatically.

3. Establishing the Action with Shopify

Once the trigger is set, you will configure the action application, which in this case is Shopify. In Pabbly Connect, select Shopify as your action application and choose the action event ‘Create Blog Entry.’ This action will create a new blog entry in Shopify whenever a new post is published in WordPress.

To connect Shopify with Pabbly Connect, you need to provide your Shopify store’s subdomain and the admin API access token. Follow these steps to obtain the API token:

• Log in to your Shopify account.
• Go to Apps and then to Develop Apps.
• Create a new app and configure the admin API scopes for blog content.
• Copy the generated API key and paste it into Pabbly Connect.

This connection allows Pabbly Connect to send data to Shopify effectively, creating a seamless integration between the two platforms.

4. Mapping Data Between Applications

With the action configured, the next step is to map the data from WordPress to Shopify using Pabbly Connect. You will need to map the title, content, and author name from the WordPress post to the corresponding fields in Shopify. This ensures that the correct information is transferred during the integration process.

In the Shopify action setup, select the blog where the new entry will be created. Then, map the fields as follows:

Map the title from the WordPress response. Map the content from the WordPress post. Set the author name as needed.

This mapping ensures that every time a new post is published on WordPress, Pabbly Connect will automatically create a new blog entry in Shopify with the correct details, facilitating a smooth workflow between the two applications.

5. Testing and Finalizing the Integration

After mapping the data, it’s essential to test the integration to ensure it works correctly. In Pabbly Connect, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to see if the data is being sent to Shopify successfully. If the test is successful, you will receive a confirmation that the blog entry has been created.

To verify, check your Shopify blog to see if the new entry appears as expected. This final step confirms that the integration between WordPress and Shopify is successful. With this setup, every new post published in WordPress will automatically create a corresponding blog in Shopify, enhancing your content management process.

Conclusion

This tutorial showed how to integrate Shopify and WordPress using Pabbly Connect. By following these steps, you can automate the creation of blog entries in Shopify from new WordPress posts, streamlining your workflow and enhancing productivity.
