What does the Shopify Connector app do?
The Shopify Connector for PostHog enables you to sync customer and order data from Shopify, into PostHog.
This app will:
- Associate your Shopify customers with PostHog users
- Create a PostHog user from a Shopify customer if it doesn't exist
- Create events for every new order
If there is an error while fetching orders, the next run of runEveryMinute() will try to re-read information from where it was previously interrupted.
