Connecting stores

Connecting the Source store and the Destination stores together

Let's make our first connection. Begin with your first Destination store. Here, we'll need to copy the unique key and then add that to the source store.

Destination store unique key

After installing Duplify, each destination store will have its unique key. We'll use that key to connect with the primary source store.

  • Start with your first destination store.

  • Find the unique key located on the right:

Each destination store will have a unique key to identify the store

  • Copy the key to your clipboard.

Enter unique key to the source store

Now that we have the unique key from a destination store, we can add it to the source store.

  • Use the "Start export" button on the source store:

From the source store, use the Start export button to continue

  • Paste the unique key code from your first destination store.

  • Duplify will automatically detect the Store name.

  • Enter an email address for the Notification email. Duplify will email you this address when the export has been completed. There's no need to keep your screen active; Duplify works in the background and notifies you after completing the process.

About stores

Let's review what the source and destination stores are:

Source store

This account will act as the "source of truth," meaning all your original data will come from it. If the auto-sync feature is enabled, any changes made in the source store will automatically be sent to your destination stores. Please note that changes made in the destination stores will not automatically update the source store; only the source store can send updates to the destination stores.

Destination store

A destination store is the location where you intend to transfer your data. You can connect multiple destination stores to a single source store.

The auto-sync feature automatically distributes updates or changes from your primary (source) store to all linked destination stores.

Start full export

After entering both values in your source store, your page should resemble this:

  • Press the "Start full export" button to continue. In the following steps, we'll choose what content to export.

Troubleshooting

We have some tips if you're having trouble with connecting your stores:

Valid destination

Once the connection between your source and destination store is established, a checkmark and your destination store name will appear.

  • Check that this is the correct store to which you wish to export your data:

Store name is automatically detected after addin the unique store key

Connection error

If you encounter an error, don't worry! Here are a few things that can help:

  • Please copy the correct unique key from the proper destination store. The key must come from the destination store, not the source store.

  • Ensure that there are no spaces in the unique key field.

If the error persists, contact our support team. You can reach us using the Chat widget in the bottom right corner of the app page.

Choosing export options

Next, we can continue by choosing export options. You can customize Duplify to export and sync precisely what your destination stores need. Follow our export option pages to help with each selection.
