Step-by-Step Implementation Guide

Step 1: Create a New Flow in Celigo

2. Click Create Flow.
3. Select Shopify as Source and Salesforce as Destination.
4. Name the flow: Shopify to Salesforce – Order Sync.
5. Save the flow.

Step 2: Configure Shopify Export (Source)

•Data Type: Orders
• Export Type: Order
• Filter: Financial Status = Paid, Fulfillment Status = Any
• Choose execution type: Real-time (Webhook) or Scheduled.
• Run preview to verify order data.

Step 3: Configure Salesforce Import (Destination)

•Import Type: Create/Update (Upsert recommended)
• Object: Order (or Opportunity based on process)

Important Mapping:
Shopify Order Number → Salesforce External ID

Total Price → Amount
Created At → Effective Date
Currency → Currency Field

Step 4: Configure Account Lookup

This prevents duplicate accounts and ensures proper order linking.
