✚ How to create a new company from Airtable with SyncBase?

This feature is currently in beta and available on the Elite and Enterprise plans. To get access, simply contact us via the in-app live chat.



SyncBase allows you to create new Shopify companies directly from Airtable, without going through the Shopify admin.


Before you start


Make sure:


  • SyncBase is installed on your Shopify store
  • You have generated your Airtable sync base
  • Your Companies table is visible and synced
  • Check the status page in your app: is the task queue down to 0?


How company creation works


Shopify requires a Company name to create a company.
If this value is missing when the record is created, Shopify will reject the request.


You cannot create a blank record and fill it later. The Company name must be filled at the moment the record is created.


Step-by-step: Create a new company


1. Create a new record in the Companies table


You must create the record with the required field already filled.


Minimum required field:


  • Company name


You can create this properly using:


  • Airtable Forms:




Or also with:

  • Airtable Automations
  • Airtable Scripts
  • Custom Interfaces



2. Wait a few seconds


SyncBase sends the request to Shopify automatically.


If everything is correct, Shopify creates the company and returns its ID. A Company ID will appear in your new record, and you can now start editing the company directly in Airtable.


3. (optional) Confirm in Shopify


Open Companies in Shopify.
Your new company should now be visible and live.


Fields you can fill from Airtable


Do not fill Company ID. This value is automatically generated by Shopify.


You may set other company fields — such as contact details, addresses, or company-level settings — after creation, once the Company ID has been returned.
If you are not sure about the formatting of the entries, best is to create a Test record from Shopify to see, how you need to fill in the different fields and then fill your records in Airtable accordingly.


Real-time synchronization


Company creation and updates are processed in real time. As soon as a record is added or updated in Airtable, SyncBase sends the change to Shopify.


Beta limitations


Because this feature is still in beta:


  • Access is not enabled by default ( + Elite and Enterprise plans only).
  • Some advanced company fields or edge cases may not be supported yet.
