Shopify - Creating New Products or Duplicating Products

*It is strongly advisable to create new products on Shopify instead of duplicating or modifying existing ones. When multiple products share the same barcode, it becomes challenging for the system to determine the specific item required. It is always advisable to verify the barcode of your new products to ensure that there are no duplicates in your inventory.


All new products can be created in Shopify once and then it will sync all that information over to ShipHero. If you have barcodes for those products it's very important that you fill out the product name, SKU, and barcode field in Shopify first before saving it. The second you save it it will sync over to ShipHero and if the SKU or Barcode is empty then the system will automatically assign one to that product and sync that information back. If you don't have a barcode for a product then just leave that field blank and ShipHero will sync back the barcode it generates. 

ShipHero will import the products you've created in your store almost immediately. This can cause issues if the product listing is imported before you have completed the changes you need to make for that product.
To avoid any issues, create a template product and use the SKU "donotimport". Doing this will allow having an ideal product template to duplicate for the quick creation of new products. In addition, ShipHero will ignore importing that new product until you've updated SKU to its correct value.
