Push the Catalog

You can use Shopify Bridge to push your HubRise catalog directly into your Shopify store. Also, you can update the inventory of your items on Shopify, every time this changes on HubRise.

This page explains how you can push your catalog, what information is sent to Shopify, and how you can synchronise your inventory.

Populate a HubRise Catalog

To be able to push your catalog into Shopify, you must populate a HubRise catalog first. Many apps connected with HubRise, including EPOS solutions, offer the ability to export the catalog to HubRise. Refer to your EPOS documentation on the HubRise website to verify.

For more information on HubRise catalogs, see Catalogs.

Manual Catalog Push

Once your catalog is populated on HubRise, you can push it manually to your Shopify store by following these steps.

1. Log in to your HubRise account.
2. Select the HubRise account and location connected with your Shopify store.
3. Open the CONNECTIONS page, then select Shopify Bridge from the list of connected apps.
4. In Shopify Bridge, select the Actions tab, then click Push catalog.

When you push your catalog, Shopify Bridge creates the products that do not yet exist in Shopify. It also updates the price of your Shopify products, if the Update prices of existing products checkbox is selected in the Configuration page. Shopify Bridge does not delete products.

Automatic Catalog Push

Shopify Bridge can automatically push your HubRise catalog into Shopify every time it is updated. By default, this option is turned off. You can enable it by following these steps:

1. Log in to your HubRise account.
2. Select the HubRise account and location connected with your Shopify store.
3. Open the CONNECTIONS page, then select Shopify Bridge from the list of connected apps.
4. In Shopify Bridge, select the Configuration tab.
5. In the Catalog section, tick Push the catalog to Shopify when it is updated in HubRise.
6. Click Save.
