Shopify Connect Link: Simplify Shopify Onboarding for Your Customers

Connecting a new Shopify store shouldn't require shared passwords, extra user accounts, or a lengthy onboarding call.

For many 3PLs, onboarding a new client often means coordinating with the store owner, requesting temporary access to Shopify, or walking customers through multiple setup steps. These extra handoffs slow down implementation and create unnecessary friction for both your team and your customers.

Shopify Connect Link makes the process much simpler.

Let customers connect their own store

Instead of requesting Shopify credentials or creating a Warehance user account, your team can generate a secure, client-specific connection link and send it directly to the customer.

The customer simply opens the link, confirms the organization requesting access, enters their Shopify store URL, and authorizes the connection through Shopify's standard approval flow. No Warehance login is required, and Shopify credentials never need to be shared.

Faster onboarding with fewer handoffs

Because each link is tied to a specific Warehance client, every new Shopify connection is automatically created under the correct account.

Once the customer approves the connection, Warehance creates the Shopify store, establishes the required Shopify location, and begins the normal product and order import process. If your organization requires an internal review before importing data, newly connected stores can remain in a Pending Review state until your team is ready.

The result is a faster transition from signed customer to operational fulfillment.

Built for modern 3PL operations

Shopify Connect Link fits naturally into existing onboarding workflows.

Account managers can generate a link immediately after a customer signs, allowing merchants to complete the connection whenever it's convenient for them. Agencies, consultants, and implementation partners can also forward the link to the appropriate Shopify administrator, eliminating unnecessary scheduling and reducing onboarding delays.

Because links are single-use and automatically expire after seven days, every invitation remains secure and easy to manage.

Secure by design

Customers stay in complete control of their Shopify account throughout the entire process.

They approve access directly within Shopify, never share passwords or verification codes, and don't need an additional Warehance seat just to connect their store. If a link expires or is sent to the wrong person, your team can simply generate a new one.

A better onboarding experience

Every new client wants to start shipping as quickly as possible.
