Shopify and Square integration

Shopify Square Integration for Products, Inventory & Customers

Shopify and Square don’t integrate on their own, so SquareFloww connects them. It is a Shopify Square integration that syncs products, stock by location, and customers, in the direction you choose.

Product sync

Products, either direction

Send products from Shopify to Square, or from Square to Shopify. You choose the direction and the products that move.

What syncs

Title, description, price, and image move with the product. Each variant keeps its own SKU and its own price.

How items link

Import or export makes the link, once the product exists on both sides. If it is already in Shopify and in Square, Auto-Link compares the SKU and a similar title.

Already on the other side

A product that is already linked gets updated. A product that is not there yet is created on the other side.

Inventory sync

Square inventory sync with Shopify, by location

Inventory sync uses location pairs. Map a Shopify location to the Square location that holds the same stock, so each store shows the count for that place.

On-hand count

When that shop sells one, or someone corrects the quantity, the other side of the pair shows the new count.

What you select

Pick the products, then pick the direction: the Square count onto Shopify, or the Shopify count onto Square.

With a product import

A product import or export can copy stock for those items too. You do not need a separate stock run for the products you just moved.

Customer sync

One profile, in the store and online

A customer can come from Shopify, from Square, or from both. The profile carries their name, email, and phone.

The same person

Someone who bought on the site and someone who paid at the register can share one profile. The name, email, and phone stay on that same person.

What travels with them

Name, email, and phone come along when that customer moves between Shopify and Square. That is the record this sync keeps in both places.

You run it, or it runs

On Starter, someone starts the sync after close. On Growth and Pro, you can turn automatic updates on, and a new buyer shows up on the other side.

Who it’s for

Square on the floor.
Shopify online.

For shops that already take payment on Square and sell the same products on Shopify.

  • Sell in person and online

    You chose Square for the counter and Shopify for the site. The floor takes payment in Square. Orders after you close come in on Shopify.

  • A shop in two places

    The other shop sells the same products and keeps its own count. You match that shop to the Shopify location for the same stock.

  • While you are out

    The stall and the fair run on Square. Your Shopify store keeps those same products on sale through the rest of the week.

  • Enter it in one place

    A new item, a new photo, and a new price go into the system your team already uses. The other side then has that same product.

Setup

How the Shopify and Square integration works

Setup is a sequence, not a migration. You are connecting systems you already use.

  1. 01

    Connect Shopify and Square

    Install SquareFloww from the Shopify App Store and connect the Square account your shop already uses, so you are not opening a new account or swapping the card reader.

  2. 02

    Match each shop’s locations

    Match each Shopify location to the Square location for that same shop, so the count for a sale stays on that shop.

  3. 03

    Copy from one system

    Choose Shopify or Square as the system your team updates. Products and stock are copied from that system to the other one.

The activity log shows what each sync did. The step-by-step version is How to connect Square to Shopify.

Source of truth

Stop retyping the catalog after a busy day

The store you edit

Choose Shopify or Square as the store your team edits. Product changes start there, then copy to the other system.

What copies across

Titles, prices, and photos come from the store you picked. The count after a sale does too. Sending stock yourself is a separate choice, one product at a time.

Automatic updates

On Growth and Pro, automatic product updates copy from the store you edit to the other one. Starter stays manual until you are ready.

Alternatives

Why not Zapier, CSV, or switching POS?

A spreadsheet, a few Zaps, or a new POS can each move something. None of them keeps Square and Shopify updated together.

  • CSV

    A checked file is fine once a month. It misses the price that changed at the register after you exported.

  • Zapier

    One Zap can send a new product across. Stock for each store, and the customer list, turns into several Zaps someone has to watch. A dedicated Square Shopify integration replaces a chain of Zaps that break when a field changes.

  • Switching POS

    Shopify POS is the right move if you want one system. It means new hardware and a team that has to relearn the register.
