# Understanding Shopify in Mention Me

> How Shopify connects natively in Mention Me: stores, customer import, and reward fulfilment.

Shopify is the only ecommerce platform you connect end to end in Mention Me. The connection lives in **Settings > Integrations**, under **Essentials**. From there you install the Mention Me app, complete OAuth, and manage the store on the card.

For Classic Shopify tag and checkout setup, stay on the [Shopify app installation guide](/knowledge/shopify/app-installation). This section covers what is new in Mention Me.

## What the Connection Does

Once a store is connected, Mention Me can:

* Sync orders and customers from that store
* Import existing customers, with an order-date window, from **Settings > Uploads**
* Fulfil referral rewards as Shopify discounts, including an early-access path where Mention Me creates the discount in your store

The card itself is the status view: connected or not, the store domain when it is connected, a link to Shopify Admin, and (for admins) **Disconnect**.

## Multiple Stores

You can connect more than one Shopify store to the same Mention Me merchant.

Each extra store is a separate install of the Mention Me app on that shop, then the same OAuth round-trip back to app.mention-me.com. The Shopify card shows the store that is currently linked on the directory. Import and Shopify-managed rewards let you pick which connected store to use.

## Connecting

Install and place the app with the [Shopify app installation guide](/knowledge/shopify/app-installation). Then link the store from Settings as in [How to Connect Shopify](/knowledge-app/integrations/shopify/connect).

## Early Access

Two Shopify features are behind flags and are marked **Early access** on their articles:

* [Import existing customers from Shopify](/knowledge-app/integrations/shopify/import-customers), including the order-date window
* [Shopify-managed rewards](/knowledge-app/integrations/shopify/managed-rewards), where Mention Me creates the discount in your store

If you do not see them, they are not on for your account yet.
