Connecting your Shopify store to MetricsNavigator is a straightforward process that unlocks a wealth of insights into your e-commerce performance. MetricsNavigator allows you to visualize key metrics, track trends, and make data-driven decisions. There are two primary methods to establish this crucial connection, catering to both new users and existing account holders.
Option 1: Connecting from the Sign-Up Screen (For New Users)
This method is ideal for individuals who are new to MetricsNavigator and are setting up their account for the first time. It integrates the Shopify connection directly into the initial onboarding process.
Step-by-Step Guide:
- Navigate to MetricsNavigator: Open your web browser and go to the MetricsNavigator application at
app.metricsnavigator.ai. This is the starting point for accessing the platform. - Initiate Shopify Connection: On the sign-up or login page, you'll find an option clearly labeled "Continue with Shopify." Click this button to begin the integration process.
- Approve Connection on Shopify: You will be automatically redirected to your Shopify store's administration page. Shopify will present a request for your approval to allow MetricsNavigator to access your store's data. This is a standard security measure to ensure you authorize the connection. Carefully review the permissions requested, and once you are comfortable, click "Approve" or "Install App" (the exact wording may vary slightly depending on Shopify's current interface).
- Return to MetricsNavigator: After approving the connection on Shopify, you will be automatically redirected back to your MetricsNavigator account.
- Automatic Data Syncing: Upon successful redirection, MetricsNavigator will immediately begin the process of syncing your Shopify store's data. This initial sync might take some time depending on the volume of your store's historical data, but rest assured, your e-commerce insights will soon populate your MetricsNavigator dashboard.
Option 2: Connecting from Within the App (For Existing Users)
If you already have a MetricsNavigator account and wish to connect a Shopify store (perhaps a new one, or if you previously skipped the integration), this option provides a convenient way to do so directly from your dashboard.
Step-by-Step Guide:
- Log In to MetricsNavigator: Access your existing MetricsNavigator account by logging in with your credentials at
app.metricsnavigator.ai. - Locate the "Connect to Shopify" Button: Once you're logged in and on your MetricsNavigator dashboard, look for a prominent "Connect to Shopify" button. This is typically located in the top-right corner of the application interface, designed for quick access.
- Approve Connection on Shopify: Clicking this button will redirect you to your Shopify store, similar to Option 1. You'll need to sign in to your Shopify account (if you aren't already) and then approve the connection request from MetricsNavigator. This step is crucial for granting MetricsNavigator the necessary permissions to pull your store's data.
- Return to the MetricsNavigator App: After successfully approving the connection on Shopify, you will be automatically redirected back to your MetricsNavigator application.
- Data Syncing Commences: As soon as you return to MetricsNavigator, the platform will initiate the automatic syncing of your Shopify data. You'll soon see your store's performance metrics reflected within your MetricsNavigator reports and dashboards.
By following either of these methods, you can seamlessly integrate your Shopify store with MetricsNavigator and start leveraging powerful analytics to drive your business forward.
