Getting started with Murex.
A walkthrough from app-store install to your first live insights. Setup takes about two minutes, and every choice you make here can be changed later in Settings.
Step 00 — InstallInstall the app.
Install Murex from the Shopify App Store. Once installed, open it from the Apps section in your Shopify admin sidebar. You’ll be guided through a quick onboarding wizard — the whole setup takes about two minutes.
You don’t need to disconnect any other apps. Murex reads Shopify data via the standard Admin API and won’t conflict with your existing stack.
Step 01 — WelcomeMurex, in one screen.
The welcome screen introduces what Murex does so you know what you’re signing up for:
- Real-time sell-through rate (STR) tracking across your catalog
- Inventory risk alerts — stockout warnings, dead-stock flags, excess-inventory detection
- Smart recommendations for merchandising, reorders, advertising, and more
- Zero new integrations — works entirely with your existing Shopify data
Step 02 — LocationChoose your primary fulfillment location.
Pick the Shopify location Murex should track inventory from. This is typically your main warehouse or fulfillment center.
- One location per install. All inventory metrics are scoped to this location.
- Sorted by activity. Your most-active locations appear first.
- Changeable later. Switch locations any time from Settings → Primary location.
Inventory and runway numbers are only as accurate as the location you pick. If your sellable stock lives across multiple warehouses, choose the one that fulfills your ecommerce orders.
Step 03 — ChannelsSelect your sales channels.
Decide which of your sales channels to include in analytics. By default, all ecommerce channels are included.
- POS is always excluded. Murex tracks ecommerce sell-through only — point-of-sale orders are filtered at the data layer regardless of this setting.
- POS-only stores will see a warning that metrics would be empty.
Step 04 — AlertsFine-tune your alerts.
Configure how aggressively Murex flags inventory risks. Defaults are sensible — most operators leave them as-is.
- Stockout risk threshold — Products with fewer days of supply than this are flagged. Default: 30 days (30/60/90/180).
- Best-sellers collection — An optional Shopify collection Murex will manage. Must be manually-sorted.
- Best-sellers list size — How many products to track as best sellers. Default: 30 (20–30).
Step 05 — OptionalUpload a buy document.
If you have a seasonal buy plan, you can upload it as a CSV to enrich your data with planned quantities, category taxonomy, and vendor info. Murex works fully without one — this is purely optional enrichment.
- Format — CSV, up to 10 MB
- Required column — SKU
- Optional columns — CAT, Division, Subclass, Vendor, ECOMM planned quantity, Status
- Mapping is saved — your column choices stick for future uploads
Everything still works. Category roll-ups fall back to Shopify product types and collections. Plan-vs-actual views are hidden until you upload one.
Step 06 — Choose a planReview & get started.
Review every setting on a single screen, then pick a plan. Every plan includes every feature — tiers differ only by how many active SKUs you can track.
After onboardingWhat happens next.
After you complete onboarding, Murex begins syncing your Shopify data immediately. Within a few minutes, your dashboard populates with:
- Catalog-wide sell-through rates
- Inventory risk flags (stockout, dead stock, excess)
- Your first set of recommendations
- Best-sellers rankings (if you selected a collection)
Under 5 minutes for most stores. Large Plus catalogs (100K+ SKUs) can take up to 20 minutes. The app header shows live sync status while it runs.
