Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How quickly does Shift4Shop data appear in SegMetrics?
A: Orders typically sync within a few minutes of being created in Shift4Shop. Zapier processes triggers in near real-time for most accounts.

Q: What happens if the integration fails temporarily?
A: Zapier will automatically retry failed attempts. If issues persist, check your account connections and ensure both Shift4Shop and SegMetrics credentials remain valid.
