Shopify Integration

Yes. Brainova connects through the Shopify Admin API, which is fully supported on Shopify Basic, Shopify, Advanced, and Shopify Plus plans. On Plus stores, you also get access to additional API resources like custom metafield definitions and higher rate limits, which Brainova leverages automatically for faster bulk publishing.

Yes, and this is the default behavior. Every product pushed from Brainova arrives in Shopify with a "Draft" status. Your team can review titles, descriptions, images, and pricing inside Shopify before setting the product to Active. If you prefer automated publishing, you can configure Brainova to push products directly as Active when they exceed your Data Quality Score threshold.

Brainova fills every standard Shopify product field: title, body HTML (description), vendor, product type, tags, images with alt text, variants (with option names, SKUs, prices, weight, inventory quantity), SEO title, SEO description, and URL handle. You can also map Brainova data to custom Shopify metafields for specifications, dimensions, certifications, or any other structured data.

Yes. In the field mapping configuration, you can assign any Brainova product attribute to a Shopify metafield. This is useful for pushing enriched data that does not fit standard Shopify fields — technical specifications, compatibility notes, material composition, or certifications. Metafield mappings persist across all future publishes, so you configure them once.

Brainova detects product variants during the research phase — grouping items by color, size, material, or other distinguishing attributes. When publishing, these groups become Shopify variants under a single parent product. Each variant carries its own SKU, price, weight, inventory quantity, and images. If you add or remove variants in Brainova, the changes sync to Shopify on the next push.

Brainova detects changes made in Shopify via webhooks. If you update a price, edit a description, or swap an image directly in Shopify, the change reflects in Brainova so both systems stay consistent. This two-way sync prevents version conflicts and ensures your product data is never out of date regardless of where edits originate.

Publishing from Brainova to Shopify happens on demand — you trigger it manually or set automated rules based on quality scores. The two-way sync from Shopify back to Brainova is event-driven via webhooks, so changes appear within seconds. There is no polling delay or batch sync schedule to wait for.

Yes. You can connect multiple Shopify stores to a single Brainova account. This is useful for businesses that operate separate storefronts for different brands, regions, or customer segments. Each store has its own field mappings, quality gate thresholds, and publishing rules. You choose which store to publish to on a per-batch or per-product basis.

CSV import is a one-way, manual process that requires precise column formatting and breaks on image associations, variant relationships, and metafields. Brainova uses the Shopify Admin API for structured, error-handled publishing with two-way sync, bulk operations, quality gates, and automatic retry on failures. No spreadsheets, no formatting errors, no re-uploading after every change.

Yes. The Shopify integration is included in every Brainova AI Inventory plan at no additional cost. You connect your store, configure field mappings, and start publishing — no add-on fees, no per-product charges for the API connection.
