FragranceX API and Shopify: Sync Inventory and Prices Automatically
FragranceX is a US fragrance retailer that — unlike many suppliers — runs an official dropshipping program with a real API. That makes it a genuinely automation-friendly source for a Shopify perfume store. Here's how to use the FragranceX API to keep inventory and prices in sync automatically.
Why the FragranceX API matters
Because FragranceX provides an official API for dropshippers, you don't have to scrape pages or upload spreadsheets. A sync tool like DroFX connects to the API and pulls product data, stock, and prices directly — then keeps your Shopify store aligned on a schedule.
What gets synced
- Products — perfumes and colognes imported with details and variants.
- Inventory — stock levels updated so sold-out items are hidden and you don't oversell.
- Prices — kept aligned with FragranceX, with your markup applied for consistent margins.
Setting it up on Shopify
- Get FragranceX dropship/API access.
- Connect via DroFX instead of building the integration yourself.
- Map fields and set a markup rule.
- Publish to Shopify and enable scheduled syncing for stock and prices.
Tips
- Rewrite product descriptions for SEO rather than importing raw text.
- Sync stock frequently — fragrances can move fast and go out of stock.
- Set clear delivery expectations for customers.
Bottom line
With an official API, FragranceX is one of the easier suppliers to automate on Shopify: connect once, apply your pricing, and let scheduled syncing keep inventory and prices accurate. For the full workflow, see the FragranceX dropshipping guide.
