Advanced: use your own app
If your store can't install the SECND app, you can connect with a custom app you create yourself instead. On the Shopify connect form, click Advanced: connect with your own Shopify app.
In your Shopify admin, go to Settings → Apps and sales channels → Develop apps, then click Create an app. In the new app, open Configuration → Admin API integration and grant these scopes:
read_products, write_products, read_inventory, write_inventory, read_orders, write_orders, read_locations, read_publications, write_publications, read_files, write_files.
Save, then open the API credentials tab and copy the API key and API secret key into the SECND form along with your shop domain. Click Connect Shopify and approve the install on Shopify.
Settings to configure
Open Shopify in Integrations. Its settings include the fields below.
Use Store Tags
When on, SECND uses the tags your Shopify store already applies to products instead of generating new ones. Leave on if you have a tag taxonomy you rely on for collections or filtering.
Publish Status
Whether new products SECND pushes are published to your storefront immediately (Active) or held back as Draft. Draft is the safe default while you're still tuning content.
Vendor Field
Whether Shopify's Vendor field is populated with the product's brand or your shop name. Use Brand if your storefront filters by brand; use Shop name if you resell consigned goods under your own banner.
Sales Channels
Which Shopify sales channels new products are published to: All channels, Selected channels (pick the list in the SECND desktop app), or Do not publish. Most stores leave this on All channels.
On Delist
What happens to the Shopify product when SECND delists it. Out of stock drops inventory to zero but keeps the product page live; Draft hides it from the storefront; Delete permanently removes it (SECND asks you to confirm).
