What each side expects
Shopify and Spring GDS do not describe the world the same way. This is what has to line up.
Shopify
Shopify thinks in orders with line items, a variant per line and a separate customer. Discounts, shipping and VAT sit as their own entries on the order rather than folded into the price.

Common questions
Can you connect Shopify to Spring GDS?
Yes. Schakel connects through the official APIs of Shopify and Spring GDS, so you install nothing on your own server and nothing travels outside those two parties.
Does Spring GDS need a complete address, and what if it is wrong?
Spring GDS needs a full delivery address to make a label. If the country and postcode do not match up, that shipment is held and shows in the log, rather than a wrong label coming out.
Can I choose the carrier in Spring GDS myself?
Yes. Which carrier and shipping method Spring GDS uses you set there; Schakel only hands the shipment over complete.
What happens on a refund or partial cancellation in Shopify?
It comes across, so Spring GDS matches what was actually settled and you correct nothing by hand.
What does connecting Shopify and Spring GDS cost?
You start free and only pay once the connector is really running. After that the same tiers apply as for any other connector, based on how much runs through it each month.
How often does Shopify sync with Spring GDS?
That depends on your tier: hourly on the free tier up to real time on the unlimited tier. You can always start a sync yourself as well.
What if Shopify or Spring GDS is briefly unavailable?
Nothing gets lost. Schakel retries later and the log shows exactly what happened, so at most you notice something coming through a little later.
How do I connect Shopify to Spring GDS?
You give Schakel access to Shopify and Spring GDS once and pick what should travel. We set it up together with you, so no technical knowledge is needed, and after that it runs by itself.
