The table below lists the page's available fields:

| Shopify API Url | Consists of the Shopify store name and the Webhook version. |

Shipping Cost
All orders with a shipping cost will use Web Store Shipping Cost Item that has been set in the Store Card for the web store to assign shipping cost to the order.
Note: Make sure the Price Includes VAT check box is selected in the item used for Shipping cost to handle VAT calculation.
Customer Order Setup
When Customer order changes status, is shipped or posted, a webhook message is sent back to Shopify to update the status of the Order. As LS Central core functions are using Commerce Service to deliver this message, that process need to be disabled, as Shopify does not use Commerce to handle these calls.
Open Customer Order Setup and choose an Omni Func. Profile ID that has empty value for Omni Server Service URI or remove it from the currently selected profile. This will disable LS Central sending messages to Commerce that will cause error.
Other LS Central Setups

Shopify communications will have the Request ID Shopify-xxxx.
