*Setup E-Commerce Store

Linking your store to VU-Custom is the primary step in bridging the gap between your front-end customer experience and your back-end production workflow.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have:

1. Admin access to your e-commerce platform

2. Access to the VU Custom Admin Panel

3. Your store's API credentials (if applicable)

Set Up E-Commerce Store

1. Generate Shopify Access Token and Setup Webhook

Shopify setup

2. Connect to VU Custom

Now that you have your Shopify access token and webhooks set up, you can connect your store to VU Custom

1. Log in to your VU Custom Admin site.

2. In the top bar, click Settings and select Stores from dropdown.

1. The page lists the available stores. Click on Add New to add a new store. If you have no stores linked, click Create New Store to link a store.

1. Select Your E-commerce Platform.

1. Enter Required Details.

   Field	Description
   Name	Store name.
   Shopify domain	URL address of the brand store.
   Shopify token	The brand's access token generated from Shopify.
   Create fulillment	Enables fulfillment flow from VU OMS into Shopify. This means that when an order is marked as fulfilled from within VU OMS, the status will also be changed inside Shopify. This is typically used only when VU OMS is the source of truth for inventory.
   Enable order paid webhook
   Currency	Currency the store accepts.
   Locale
   Store key	automatically created by VU in the backend, and is used for the JS Snippet (when loading the customizer on a product page).

• The ‘enable order paid webhook’ checkbox does the same thing as section 2, but it does it in the backend. We only need section 2 as a failsafe, this checkbox should be the standard requirement since it’s easier.

• Currency this store accepts.

• Store key I believe is automatically created by VU in the backend, and is used for the JS Snippet (when loading the customizer on a product page).
