Can I Create Multiple Connections for the Same Shopify Store?

Question

Can I create multiple connections for each Shopify store?

Environment

Connector: Shopify

Answer

We do not recommend creating multiple Fivetran connections for the same Shopify store. Fivetran uses a combination of the Shopify REST API, GraphQL API, and GraphQL Bulk API to ingest data. Shopify enforces a concurrency limit on the GraphQL Bulk API, allowing only one bulk operation per store at a time.

If you create multiple connections to the same store, we may attempt to run concurrent bulk operations and hit this limit. When that happens, we fall back to the REST API or the paginated GraphQL API, which can significantly increase sync times.
