Introduction

The Akeneo-Shopify Template facilitates seamless product data retrieval from Akeneo and transfers it to Shopify.

The Template focuses on using Akeneo and Shopify as target applications, with Alumio serving as the middleware to ensure structured data transfer and precise data mapping.

The Template Scope

Data mapping includes the following structure:

Out of scope: Akeneo: Data mapping of Family, Family Variant, Locales, Product Images, and Pricelists. The Shopify data model doesn’t include the functionalities described above that could be mapped to data. Shopify: Product Images and price lists are excluded from the scope. Attributes don’t exist in Shopify, so the data becomes a metafield without definition mapping.
