Shared Merchant Value

Our principles for evaluating whether a partnership makes sense for the Shopify merchants we both serve.

Address a Real Merchant Need

Integrations must solve a tangible problem for store operators, such as reducing catalog friction or identifying defective SKUs.

Complement Existing Functionality

Each product focuses on its core strengths rather than duplicating or competing with the other application's native capabilities.

Make Relevant Workflows More Useful

Connections should save merchants time and make catalog data immediately actionable across their existing software stack.

Respect Data Privacy & Security

Both platforms uphold strict standards regarding merchant consent, scoped API permissions, and customer data protection.

Security & Data Integrity

Technical & Data Considerations

Every prospective integration undergoes rigorous technical evaluation to ensure data privacy, security, and stability.

Data availability and accurate historical sync
API compatibility and stable rate-limit management
Appropriate and minimally scoped access permissions
Explicit merchant consent and authorization
Customer data privacy and regulatory compliance
Security, uptime reliability, and performance isolation
Demonstrable merchant utility before public release
