Required Shopify Information

In addition to the more commonly required fields, Shopify requires users to enter information for Supplier and Allocation Plan.  Shopify requires items to have a Supplier with a valid location.  Users will need to log into their Shopify account and create a Shopify SupplierUnlike eBay and Etsy, Shopify does not accept a "Qty to List" field.  Rather, Allocation Plans are used to handle how much inventory to send to Shopify for a given listing.  The usual Allocation Plans are available (Keep all inventory listed, Keep 1 listed, etc) and users are able to create custom Allocation Plans as needed.  If an Allocation Plan is not applied to the item, an error will be returned during submission.
