Shopify API Changes: Why Dropstore Resellers Need to Reinstall Their App for Product Sync
If you’re a Dropstore Reseller using Shopify, you may have recently noticed that your product sync isn’t working as expected. This is due to Shopify’s latest API changes, which require apps to request new permissions to continue syncing products. As a result, resellers must reinstall the Dropstore app to restore seamless integration with their Shopify stores.
What Changed?
Shopify regularly updates its API to improve security, performance, and functionality for merchants and developers. The latest update has introduced changes that require renewed permission access, meaning that some third-party apps—including Dropstore—can no longer access product data without a fresh authorization from store owners.
This change does not affect your existing products in Shopify, but it does disrupt the ability to sync new products from Dropstore until the necessary permissions are reapproved.
What You Need to Do
To continue syncing products from Dropstore to your Shopify store, follow these simple steps to reinstall the app:
- Uninstall the Dropstore App
- Log in to your Shopify admin dashboard.
- Navigate to Apps in the left-hand menu.
- Find Dropstore and click Remove App.
- Reinstall the App from the Shopify App Store
- Visit the Dropstore app page on Shopify’s App Store.
- Click Add App and follow the installation steps.
- Approve the required new permissions when prompted.
- Reconnect and Sync Your Products
- Log into your Dropstore account.
- Ensure your Shopify store is linked and initiate a manual product sync to verify that everything is working correctly.
What Happens if You Don’t Reinstall?
If you don’t reinstall the app, Dropstore will no longer be able to update or sync new products to your Shopify store. While your existing products will remain in your store, updates such as stock availability, price adjustments, and new product listings will not reflect until the new permissions are granted through a fresh installation.
Key Takeaways
- Shopify’s API update requires new app permissions for product syncing.
- Resellers must uninstall and reinstall the Dropstore app to continue syncing products.
- No existing products will be deleted, but updates won’t sync without reinstallation.
- The process takes just a few minutes and ensures uninterrupted business operations.
