A storefront is different from a marketplace. On Amazon or Flipkart your listings live in their seller console and Finocket reads orders back. On your own Shopify or WooCommerce store, the catalogue is yours — so Finocket can send products out as well as pull orders in.
Which one should I connect?
Whichever you already run. Both are fully supported, and Indian retailers split between them — Shopify is hosted and paid for, WooCommerce runs on your own hosting. If you run both, for example a brand store and a distributor store, connect both: each is its own channel with its own listings and its own profit line.
The quick way: Connect with Shopify
When Finocket's own Shopify app is set up by the platform, the connect screen shows Connect with Shopify: enter your shop's admin domain, approve Finocket on Shopify's screen, and you are back here connected. Finocket asks for orders (to read) and products (to read and publish) and nothing else. If the button is not there, the custom-app token below works exactly the same — both ask Shopify for the same four permissions, including the inventory one the stock push needs.
What you need for Shopify
A custom app in your own admin, not a login. In Shopify admin: Settings → Apps and sales channels → Develop apps → create an app, give it read_orders, write_products and write_inventory, install it, and copy the Admin API access token. It starts shpat_ and is shown once.
Use the myshopify.com address, not your customer-facing domain. Finocket refuses anything else, because that address is where your token gets sent.
The quick way: authorise from your store
WooCommerce can hand Finocket its own keys: enter your store's HTTPS address, choose Authorise from your store, approve on your store's screen, and the keys arrive here without copying. Your store must be on HTTPS for this — the same rule as pasting keys by hand.
What you need for WooCommerce
A REST API key. In WordPress: WP Admin → WooCommerce → Settings → Advanced → REST API → Add key. Set it to Read/Write — a read-only key connects perfectly well and then fails at your first publish, which is a worse way to find out.
What publishing does, and does not, do
- Publishing sends a product's name, price and SKU. It creates the product the first time and updates it after that, so you never end up with two listings competing with each other in your own store's search.
- Taking a product down makes it a draft in your store — it is never deleted. Deleting would lose the product's web address and its reviews, and “take it off for now” does not mean either of those.
- Stock is sent separately from the product, because stock changes on every sale and a product does not.
Orders coming back
Orders pull nightly from the date you choose when connecting. Choose it carefully: if you have already brought those orders into Finocket another way, the same sale will arrive twice.
Your storefront does not settle money to you — your payment gateway does — so unlike a marketplace there are no settlement statements to reconcile here.
