This comprehensive guide will walk you through the process of listing your Shopify products on the Shein marketplace using the Base platform. We’ll cover every step from creating a Base account to managing your live Shein offers.

Create a Base Account

If you don’t already have one, you’ll need to sign up for a Base account. This will be your central hub for managing your product listings across different platforms.

Navigate to https://base.com/en-US/home/ and click “try it for free”
Fill out the form to create your trial Base account.
If you already have a Base account then click “Sign in“.
Fill out you login credentials and click “Sign In“.

Add Shopify Integration to Base

We will be adding Shopify integration to Base. This will allow Base to manage their Shopify store directly from Base including product listings, inventory and order data. Additionally, the integration will streamline order fulfillment and synchronization of data between the two platforms.

Click “Integrations”
Click “Add integration“.
Type in “Shopify” in the search bar and click on the Shopify icon under “Shops”.
You can leave the fields blank for now as we will need to set up a custom app in Shopify to get the API keys and access tokens. Click on “Save” and move onto the next step.

If you experience any issues with this section, please reach out to our support team. Refer to the Support Tickets section for additional help.
