How Do I Connect My Store to Doba?
If you are getting started with Doba, the first setup step is connecting your store so Doba can support listing, order flow, and ongoing store operations from one place.
Quick answer: To connect your store, go to Stores, choose Connect a New Store, select your platform, complete the authorization flow, and return to Doba to confirm the store is active.
When should you connect your store?Connect your store before you start listing products or trying to automate order workflows.
This is the setup step that links Doba to your selling channel so you can:
- send products to your storefront
- manage store settings inside Doba
- support order syncing and automation workflows
- prepare for inventory and pricing updates on connected channels
Doba's Help Center shows the same core flow across supported storefronts.
1. Open the Stores area
Log in to your Doba backend and go to Stores.
2. Choose Connect a New Store
Click Connect a New Store and select the platform you want to connect.
Examples shown in Doba Help content include platforms such as Shopify and TikTok Shop.
3. Complete the platform authorization flow
After you choose your platform, Doba will redirect you to that platform's authorization page.
Depending on the storefront, you may need to:
- enter your store domain
- log in to your store account
- install or authorize the Doba app
- approve the connection request
4. Return to Doba and confirm the store is connected
After authorization, you should return to Doba automatically.
What to check: In Doba's Help content, a successful connection is typically confirmed when the store appears in your store list with an active status such as Activated and Valid, or when Doba lets you save store settings for the connected store.
What if the connection does not finish cleanly?If the connection does not complete, check the following first:
- you selected the correct store platform
- you entered the correct store domain or account details
- you finished the authorization flow on the platform side
- you were redirected back to Doba at the end of the process
If the store never appears in your Doba store list, repeat the connection flow from Stores rather than jumping ahead to listing products.
What to do after your store is connectedOnce the store is active, the next steps are usually:
- Review your store settings.
- List your first products to the store.
- Create or review product connections if your workflow requires them.
Connecting the store is what turns Doba from a product discovery tool into a working operations hub for your storefront. It is the setup step that enables product listing, store management, and downstream automation.
