You\u2019ve been telling us that you want to be able to connect your Contrado account to your Shopify store. Well, the good news is that your cries have been heard! We have been hard at work throughout 2019 to develop an app to make it happen!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The moment you\u2019ve been waiting for is finally here \u2013 we have launched the drop-shipping app (currently only available with Shopify), and you can now add your Contrado products to your Shopify storefront in just three simple steps!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"three<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Step One \u2013 Create Your Contrado Drop-Shipper Account<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sign up to Contrado Drop-Shipping<\/a> using the same email that you created your Contrado account with. We will then send you a confirmation email which will contain a confirmation link.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simply click on that link to confirm everything, and you\u2019re officially a drop-shipper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step Two \u2013 Create a Shopify Account<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Head to the Shopify website and create an account. You\u2019ll be asked to provide personal information as well as a unique shop name. Once set up, head to the \u2018App Store\u2019 located in the left menu and search for \u2018Contrado\u2019. Click on the icon or text and then click \u2018Add App\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once that\u2019s all done you need to head to the\u00a0\u2018My Stores\u2019<\/a>\u00a0tab and sync your store. You will only ever need to sync your Shopify and Contrado stores once, but it can take some time, depending on how many products you have in your Contrado store already. (If you don\u2019t have a Contrado Store already, it\u2019s pretty simple to make one, and you can see a\u00a0full guide on how to do so here<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step Three \u2013 Add Your Products From Contrado to Your Shopify Store<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s entirely up to you how you do this. You\u2019ve got two options! The first is to manually add each product to your Shopify store. Every time you create a Contrado product, it will appear within your admin panel, in drafts on your Shopify store. You\u2019ll need to manually make it available for purchase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The second option is to auto-publish your Contrado products to your live store. This means that all the products that you create within your Contrado store will go straight to your live, published Shopify store. They\u2019ll be available for your customers to purchase immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
