How do I Integrate my Shift4Shop store with Houzz?

Merchants who also sell products via the Houzz Home Products Marketplace, can now import orders from Houzz to their Shift4Shop store for processing. As orders are retrieved from your Houzz account, matching orders are created on your Shift4Shop store where they may be reviewed and processed. Then, as the orders are moved to the shipped status on the Shift4Shop store, their corresponding order on Houzz will be updated too! Furthermore any orders canceled on the Shift4Shop store will also update to the corresponding Houzz order as well.

Enabling Houzz Integration

To enable the Houzz Integration on your store, proceed with the following steps:

1. Log into your Shift4Shop Online Store Manager

• Import Shipped Orders**
  If marked, this checkbox will make it so that your orders that are marked as "shipped" on the Houzz side will also be imported to your Shift4Shop store.
  Please note that, if the order already exists in the Shift4Shop store but was not imported using this integration (i.e. manual creation), then it may potentially create a duplicate order on your Shift4Shop store.
