Introduction
Nimstrata’s Retail Cloud Connect is a cross-platform solution to connect various ecommerce platforms to Google Cloud’s Discovery AI solutions. Because the suite of tools supports multiple platforms, each platform can be unified under a shared Retailer. Additionally:
A Retailer is usually the equivalent of a company or organization
A Retailer is a top-level container for all of the users that may need to access Nimstrata’s apps
You must connect your store to a Retailer when you set up Retail Cloud Connect for the first time
An administrative role is required to connect Retail Cloud Connect to Nimstrata
Retailers can have multiple administrative accounts
Adding administrators to Retailers provides them with permission to connect new stores
Shopify
When installing Retail Cloud Connect on Shopify, a Nimstrata administrative user is only required for the initial app connection. Once your Shopify store is connected to Nimstrata, app permissions, such as uninstalling or changing billing plans, are managed by Shopify’s staff permissions.
We recommend sharing a single Retailer if you have multiple Shopify stores. For example, if your primary store Shopify admin panel is at retailer.myshopify.com and you have a separate store at retailer-dev.myshopify.com, you should install Retail Cloud Connect on both stores, but login with a single Nimstrata and Google Cloud account.
Many customers only have one shop in their retailer, such as a single Shopify store. However, large brands may have multiple storefronts, development and testing stores, or other environments they would like to consolidate into one organization.
