Use HubSpot's Shopify integration

Once you have connected the Shopify app to your HubSpot account, you can analyze your data in HubSpot and automate your orders with workflows. 

If you have not connected your HubSpot account to Shopify, you can do this here.

Analyze your Shopify data in HubSpot

After the initial import of your Shopify data is complete, you'll be able to see your Shopify Products, Customers, and Orders your in HubSpot Ecommerce Settings.

• Products: the following properties sync between Shopify and HubSpot products:
  • Title
  • Body_HTML
  • Created at
  • Handle
  • Images
  • Product type
  • Published at
  • Published scope
  • Tags
  • Vendor
  • Price

Please note: product variants cannot be synced to HubSpot using this integration.

• Contacts: Shopify customers and abandoned cart contacts sync with HubSpot contacts, and are deduplicated by email address.
  
  If a contact does not exist with the same email address in HubSpot, a new contact will be created if the Shopify customer or abandoned cart contact was created with an email address. If a HubSpot contact already exists with the same email address, Shopify will update the contact if a value exists for the property in Shopify (i.e., the property is not blank).
  
  The following properties sync between Shopify and HubSpot contacts:
  • Accepts marketing
  • Created at
  • First name
  • Last name
  • Email
  • Phone
  • Note
  • Orders count
  • Tags
  • Tax exempt (checkbox)
  • Verified email (checkbox)
  • Street address
  • City
  • Country
  • State/Province
  • Zip code

  Please note: Shopify can store a customer's phone number in 2 sections; Customer overview and Default address. HubSpot will only sync with the phone number field in the Customer overview section.

• Orders: Shopify orders sync with HubSpot deals in the Ecommerce pipeline, which is automatically created when the Shopify integration is set up. Each order is associated with a product(s) and customer when synced from Shopify, and the corresponding deal in HubSpot will be associated with a product(s) and contact. The following properties sync between Shopify orders and HubSpot deals:
  • Abandoned checkout URL
  • Buyer accepts marketing
  • Customer ID
  • Cancel reason
  • Cart token
  • Cancelled at
  • Created at
  • Currency
  • Financial status
  • Fulfillment status
  • Landing site

  • Order number
  • Processing method
  • Referring site
  • Source name
  • Subtotal price
  • Taxes included
  • Token
  • Total discounts
  • Total line items price
  • Total price
  • Total tax
  • Total weight

Please note: a Shopify order with an associated customer that was not created with an email address will sync over to HubSpot as a deal without an associated contact.

Frequently asked questions

Will contacts synced over from Shopify be tracked in HubSpot?

Contacts that are created in HubSpot as part of the initial import from Shopify when the integration is first set up will have an Original source drill-down 1 value of INTEGRATION_SYNC and an Original source drill-down 2 value of integrations-sync. These contacts will not be cookied, and have to convert on a HubSpot form or click through a HubSpot marketing email sent from your portal to a page that has your HubSpot tracking code before they can be tracked in HubSpot.

Contacts that are synced over and created in HubSpot after the Shopify integration is set up will have Original source drill-down 1 and Original source drill-down 2 values based on their original source type as determined by Shopify. These contacts will be cookied and will be tracked in HubSpot as soon as they sync over from Shopify.

Do I need to add the HubSpot tracking code to my Shopify store pages?

No. Once you integrate HubSpot and Shopify, the connector will automatically add your HubSpot tracking code to all of your Shopify store pages.

What happens if I delete my Shopify product/customer/order?

When you delete deals and products in Shopify, the corresponding deals and products in HubSpot will be deleted. When you delete customer records in Shopify, the corresponding contacts will not be deleted in HubSpot.

What happens if I delete my HubSpot contact records that were created via Shopify?

How does HubSpot determine when an order has been abandoned at checkout?

An order will have a deal stage of Checkout Abandoned in HubSpot if the Shopify order is created and not completed within 24 hours. After 24 hours pass, the order will move from Checkout Pending to Checkout Abandoned.

Can I use HubSpot to send Shopify invoice emails?

At this time, it's not possible to use HubSpot to send Shopify invoice emails or other transactional emails for completed Shopify purchases. The Shopify integration is designed to conduct marketing activities for ecommerce in HubSpot and keep transactional activities in Shopify.

Can I use third-party Shopify integrations with the HubSpot-Shopify integration?

Yes. However, if the third-party integrator creates deal records for orders, having both integrations can create duplicate deal records. The deal records created by the HubSpot-Shopify integration can be identified by the deal property EComm Synced.
