Are you looking for a quick way to transfer data from Shopify to Amazon Redshift? You can perform this data migration easily using an effective ETL tool: Daton.
For the complex cross-platform journey of a customer in eCommerce platforms, sellers stay confused while deciding which channels they want to sell or spend their advertising budget. To optimize the business and reduce losses, they need to understand the demand and supply trends, maximize revenue and offer a seamless customer experience. It becomes essential for businesses to tally the data from other business tools such as customer support platforms, websites, inventory management, payment gateways, and CRMs. These data need to be consolidated in a data warehouse like Redshift and analyzed to have a complete understanding of the business. Let us discuss why Shopify data is important for your business and how to access all those data in Amazon Redshift without writing a single line of code.
Why Integrate Shopify to Amazon Redshift
An e-Commerce company uses Shopify for its Online Stores and might also sell its products in different countries. It will use various marketing platforms, logistic channels, inventory management systems, payment gateways and target audiences in each country. The company can calculate the overall profit by:
Profits/Losses = Sales – Expenses
Shopify will have the sales data, having multiple data silos for different countries. Expenses will be obtained from the marketing costs in advertising platforms. There can be other expenses which will come from logistic, inventory management, payment or accounting softwares. Data consolidation from different softwares for each country separately can be challenging if done manually. Thus, data analysis for this data load usually involves a time lag, which reduces the analysis’s accuracy and effectiveness. Simplify this data transfer by loading all relevant data in a data warehouse like Amazon Redshift using an ETL tool. Daton is an automated ETL tool which will quickly fetch data from Shopify into Amazon Redshift without you writing any code.
