Shopify to Odoo Import — Catalog Migration

Two paths, depending on what you can provide

Without an app token, the module reads the store's public storefront. It imports published products, their variants and their images without any app having to be created in Shopify. It is the shortest path, and the one the publisher has proven by real calls against actual stores.

With an app token, the module queries the Admin API and additionally imports collections, customers and orders — which no store exposes publicly, and fortunately so.

What was observed in practice

The public storefront responds without authentication, its pages are disjoint, and it refuses to serve beyond twenty-five thousand products. This limit is handled explicitly: the module stops cleanly and tells you to switch to the token, rather than letting you believe in an outage at the nineteen-thousandth product.

A shop behind a web application firewall may close its storefront to bots and answer “access denied”. The module tells this apart from an outage and points you to the token.

Identifiers are normalized

The Admin API returns identifiers in the form gid://shopify/Product/123, while the storefront returns 123. The module reduces them all to the integer. Without this, starting a migration without a token and then resuming it with one would recreate the catalog in duplicate.

What the module does not do

It does not synchronize continuously: it is a migration tool, not a sales connector. It writes nothing to Shopify. It requires the free base module dyo_import_boutique, which handles idempotency, resumption and the report.
