When a customer purchases a product from your Shopify store, Blackpurl automatically creates a Customer Order with a Parts & Accessories section. This article explains how that integration works, how to finalise the transaction on both sides, and how to report on your Shopify sales in Blackpurl.
​

The following must be in place before your dealership can process Shopify sales in Blackpurl:

For full details on setup and product mapping, see Blackpurl and Shopify Integration Overview.
​

When a customer completes a purchase in your Shopify store, the sale automatically integrates into Blackpurl and creates a Customer Order with a Parts & Accessories section. How that line item appears depends on whether the Shopify product is linked to an existing Blackpurl Part Record.
​

When a Shopify product is already linked to a Part Record in Blackpurl, it is added to the Customer Order as a line item and the stock status is reflected — for example, IN STOCK.
​

​

When a Shopify product has no matching Part Record in Blackpurl, it still integrates to a Customer Order — but it is added as a FEE rather than a part line item. Blackpurl uses the FEE configured in your System Settings. It is the dealership's responsibility to replace that FEE with the correct Blackpurl Part Record for inventory purposes.
​

The FEE type used is determined by the settings configured in Steps 1 and 2 of Set Up Shopify Integration Settings in Blackpurl.
​

Details about the Shopify product that was added as a FEE are also recorded in the internal notes on the Customer Order.
​

​

Payments received in your Shopify store automatically appear in the Deposit section of the relevant Customer Order in Blackpurl. The payment method used is the one configured in your System Settings — see Steps 1 and 2 of Set Up Shopify Integration Settings in Blackpurl.
​

​

Finalise the Customer Order in Blackpurl as you would any standard order:

After finalising the Blackpurl side of the transaction, complete it in your Shopify store. Click the Shopify Store ID number referenced on the Customer Order — this takes you directly to the corresponding transaction in your Shopify store.
​

During initial setup, you were advised to create a dedicated Transaction Type for your Shopify store sales. That Transaction Type was added to System Settings so that every integrated Shopify sale is automatically assigned it. Use this Transaction Type to filter and report on your Shopify sales in Blackpurl.
​

To run the report:
​

1. Navigate to Reporting > Reports > Active Part Sales.
​

2. Click Change Parameters to open the search filter options.
​

3. Click Select Other Fields to expand the additional filter options.
​

4. Click Sales Type to add that field to the parameters.
​

5. Click into the Sales Type field and select the Transaction Type assigned to your Shopify store sales.
​

6. Click Apply to run the search.
​

The search results list all Customer Orders matching that Transaction Type.
​

Adjust the date filters, add or remove columns as needed, then save the report using Save As so you can reuse it next time.
