How to connect Shopify POS
Use this when Shopify is where your products, variants, barcodes, prices, inventory, and product images already live.

Product fields used from Shopify
Availability depends on how your Shopify catalog is configured. When a field exists, Train My Camera can use it in catalog browsing, recognition results, barcode display, or sync identity.
Product images and scan examples
Train My Camera prefers a Shopify variant image when one exists and falls back to the product featured image.
Manual example photos are protected
By default, photos added inside Train My Camera are preserved. Checkout-created examples can update when the provider image changes, while dead provider image URLs are reported as unavailable instead of retried forever.
Sync behavior
- Review the provider product list before changing the Train My Camera catalog.
- Choose all products, selected categories, or individual products.
- Save the selection and run a sync immediately.
- Turn on automatic sync so the saved selection is checked about every 30 minutes.
- Use checkout product images as example photos for visual recognition when the provider exposes useful images.
- Keep manually uploaded Train My Camera examples while refreshing examples that originally came from checkout images.
- Show progress for image preparation, failed retries, and provider images that are no longer available.
Common fields across providers
- Product name
- Category or product group
- Display price
- SKU where available
- Barcode or UPC/EAN/GTIN where available
- Provider product and variant IDs
- Primary product image where available
- Secondary metadata such as stock, cost, VAT, unit, color, or size where the provider exposes it

Provider notes
- Shopify remains the source of truth for product details.
- Variant identity is preserved, so size/color variants with the same product title can still sync cleanly.
- UPC-A and EAN-13 barcode display are common choices for Shopify POS teams.
