In order for a Shopify merchant to be integrated, they are required to install the Rye Shopify app. Once integrated, developers can leverage the Rye API to access a range of functionalities within the merchant's store, such as managing inventory, processing orders, handling customer returns, etc. ## Rye App Installation It is a more seamless experience to have Shopify merchants that you work with install the Rye App. This enables the following: * Live product data updates (inventory, price, etc.) * Native commission rates 1.

## FAQ #### How much does it cost to use Rye? * Rye is free to download and install, and there are no monthly subscription fees (\$0). * You only pay commissions on sales that are generated, and you are in full control of the commission rate you set. So if you set a 30% commission rate and generate \$100 in sales, you’ll pay \$30 to Rye (which we forward the majority of to sales channels) for that transaction. We only win if you win. ### Why does Rye require merchants to add a billing method and subscribe to it, even if the Rye app is free? This is required by Shopify to charge commissions if one is set. #### Can I adjust my commission rate? * Yes. The commission rate is adjustable at any time within your Shopify Store, under: * **Settings → Apps and Sales Channels → Rye → Open Sales Channel → Default Commission Rate** #### What can I expect for sales and orders? * The best way to think about Rye is as a passive sales channel: set and forget. Sales channels are marketing your product for you, and you reap the sales. * We’ve had some brands generate 6 figures in 2 weeks, while others are generating a steady 4 figures a month. * The best thing you can do to stimulate orders is: set an aggressive commission rate you’re comfortable with to incentivize the sales channels to market your products to their shoppers. #### Can I choose which of my products is uploaded to Rye and sold on the various e-commerce channels? * Yes. By default, all products are imported to Rye. You can adjust which products are uploaded at any time through your Shopify Application, however: * **Settings → Apps and Sales Channels → Rye → Open Sales Channel → Publishing** * New products created will have a checkbox to publish to sales apps like Rye. #### What are some of the brands that Rye has helped generate sales for? * We’ve helped hundreds of brands generate sales and revenue, some you may have heard of are: * Alo Yoga * Auri Nutrition * Baboon to the Moon * Beauty & the Broth * COSRX * Fashion Nova * Felix Gray * Kettle & Fire * Kylie Cosmetics * L’Oréal * Lyfefuel * Mojo * Princess Polly * Sol de Janeiro #### What level of access does the Rye App have in the Shopify store? * Visit the [Access Scopes](/sync-api/shopify-merchant-onboarding/shopify-app-access-scopes) page for details. ## Troubleshooting Tips: #### 404 Page Sometimes after clicking `Approve` on the app install page, you will be redirected to a 404 page.
