Now live — connect your store in a few minutes
The Shopify connector for makers whoknow their true costs
Paid orders become sales with every line matched to your products. Turn on auto push and stock stays in step at every store location. Recipes and materials tell you what each sale really earned.
Included on every plan, including Free. No credit card required.

From store to synced in three steps
No CSV exports. No retyping orders. No guessing which location the stock is in.
Install and approve
Install from the Shopify App Store, or click Connect Shopify Store in Settings to get there. You approve access on Shopify’s own page; no store address to type, no password sharing.Map locations, link products
Match each Shopify location to one of yours. Products come in on their own and link to your inventory by SKU; link the rest with a click.Sell, make, and stay in step
Paid orders import every 15 minutes as sales that move stock and carry cost of goods. Turn on auto push and the store’s quantities follow when you finish a batch or sell at a market.
Everything the connector does
One connection, wired to the rest of your inventory, recipes, and reports.
Paid orders become sales
Each order arrives with its line items matched to your products, discount, tax and shipping recorded, and the customer matched or created. Stock moves at the right location.
Stock in step, per location
Map Shopify locations to yours. Turn on auto push and quantities go to each mapped location separately, minus a safety buffer you set, whenever inventory changes. Until then, your store quantities are left alone.
Products linked by SKU
Products and variants pull in every six hours and link to your inventory items by SKU automatically. Link the rest by hand, one variant per row.
True cost on every sale
Recipes, materials and production runs give every product a real cost, so your profit reports show what your Shopify orders earned, not just what they billed.
Shopify and Etsy, one inventory
The same product listed in both places shares one inventory item. With auto push on, a sale on either store lowers the other within about 15 minutes, and batches, market sales and adjustments you record push to both. Needs the Artisan plan or higher.
Daily reconciliation and a sync log
Every day the connector compares what it expects at each location with what the store holds, and logs any difference with a reason. Nothing drifts silently.
Not yet: Shopify Payments payouts and fees, which are on the roadmap. Shopify doesn’t share per-product view counts, so there are no listing view analytics. The sync guide lists exactly what moves and what does not.
Stop running your store from a spreadsheet
Shopify knows what sold. It does not know what it cost you to make, or how much wax is left on the shelf.
Spreadsheet workflow
- • Export orders every week and retype them into your books
- • Update store quantities by hand after every batch, and forget one
- • Guess at cost of goods from last year’s material prices
- • Oversell at the market because the online stock never came down
- • Discover at tax time which products actually made money
Ardent Seller workflow
- Paid orders import on their own as sales with matched line items
- A finished production run raises the store’s quantity at that location
- Cost of goods comes from the recipe, priced at what you actually paid
- A market sale lowers the market location, and the safety buffer covers the rest
- Profit & Loss and Schedule C reports include every store order
Built to Shopify’s current app requirements
Managed installation, short-lived tokens, and the privacy webhooks Shopify requires of every public app.
Approved on Shopify, not here
Access is granted on Shopify’s own pages with a fixed, published set of scopes. Your Shopify password never touches Ardent Seller.
Tokens that expire hourly
Access tokens live for an hour and are renewed automatically. At rest they are encrypted with AES-256-GCM, never shown in the app and never written to logs.
Privacy requests honoured
Customer data requests and erasure notices from Shopify are received automatically, and uninstalling the app ends the connection and its billing.
Common questions
What makers ask before connecting a store.
Does the Shopify connector cost extra?
No. The Shopify integration is included on every plan, including the free tier, with no per-store fees. If you install Ardent Seller from the Shopify App Store you can pay for your plan through Shopify instead: the Free, Maker, Artisan and Workshop plans are all available there, billed monthly. Pay As You Go and annual billing are only available when you subscribe directly. If you already pay us directly, contact support before picking a paid plan in Shopify so we can move your billing over.
Does it handle more than one store location?
Yes. Shopify keeps stock per location and so does Ardent Seller. You map each Shopify location to one of your locations, and stock is pushed to each one separately: a production run at your workshop raises the workshop's quantity, a market-day sale lowers the market's. Orders are recorded at the location they ship from; until an order is fulfilled, it sits at your default location.
Will Ardent Seller stop me from overselling?
It can, once you turn on auto push. With auto push on, whenever you change stock in Ardent Seller (a production run, a market sale, an adjustment), the new quantity is pushed to your store, minus a safety buffer you set per connection. Listings start on Manual only, so Ardent Seller never changes a store quantity until you switch auto push on for the store or for a listing, or click Push now. If you also sell the same product on Etsy, both listings share one inventory item: a sale on either store lowers the other store's quantity within about 15 minutes, as long as that listing is set to auto push. The safety buffer covers anything that sells in between, and daily reconciliation flags any gap. Connecting both an Etsy shop and a Shopify store needs the Artisan plan or higher.
What about Shopify Payments fees and payouts?
Not yet. Today the connector imports orders, products, and locations and pushes stock. Payout and fee statements are on the roadmap; until then, record processing fees as an expense, or import payout statements with AI income import.
Can I create Shopify products from Ardent Seller?
No. Products flow one way, from your store into Ardent Seller, where they are matched to your inventory items by SKU. Day-to-day sync writes only inventory quantities to your store; it never creates or edits a product, a price, or a description.
Is my Shopify connection secure?
You approve access on Shopify's own pages, so your Shopify password never touches Ardent Seller. The access tokens Shopify issues expire after an hour and are renewed automatically, and they are stored encrypted with AES-256-GCM. Disconnect at any time from Settings, or by uninstalling the app in your Shopify admin.
Is Ardent Seller endorsed by Shopify?
No. The term "Shopify" is a trademark of Shopify Inc. Ardent Seller uses the Shopify API but is not endorsed or certified by Shopify Inc. Ardent Seller is solely provided by Ardent Workshop LLC.
