Settings Reference

Everything on the Shopify panel in your UniPay dashboard, at Settings, Integrations and Plugins, Online store.

Shopify holds a payment method you created. UniPay holds your store address and one access token. That is the whole configuration.

Store address

Your Shopify domain, in the form your-store.myshopify.com. Use the myshopify address rather than a custom domain, since that is the one the Shopify Admin API answers on.

Admin API access token

The token from the custom app you created in Shopify. It begins with shpat_. UniPay verifies it the moment you click Connect store, so a wrong token fails immediately rather than silently at the first order.

The token is stored encrypted at rest and is never shown again after you save it. Disconnect store deletes it.

Payment method name

Fixed at Pay with UniCash, with a copy button beside it. This is the string UniPay looks for when it reads your pending orders, so the name in Shopify has to match it exactly. Case and punctuation do not matter, but the words do.

Buyer instructions

The text to paste into your Shopify payment method, with your handle already filled in. It tells the buyer to send from the UniCash app and to put the order number in the payment note. The order number is what UniPay matches on, so do not remove that line.

Order list

Every order placed with Pay with UniCash, newest first, with a status:

StatusWhat it means
Awaiting paymentThe order exists in Shopify and no matching payment has arrived yet.
PaidA payment matched on reference and amount. UniPay has marked the order paid in Shopify.
Amount mismatchA payment quoted this order number but the amount does not match. Nothing is marked paid. You decide what to do.
Timed outNo matching payment arrived within 48 hours. The order is left alone in Shopify.

Sync now

Runs the check immediately instead of waiting for the next automatic pass. Useful right after a test order. It does the same work as the automatic check, so it can never double pay or double mark anything.

Mark paid

Marks a single order paid in Shopify by hand. This is the fallback for an amount mismatch you have decided to accept, or a payment that arrived by another route. It changes Shopify only. It does not move money.

Disconnect store

Stops the automatic checks and deletes the stored token. Your Shopify payment method is untouched, so customers can still choose Pay with UniCash, but orders will no longer be marked paid for you. Reconnecting needs a fresh token.
