# If suppliers can't install the Shopify app, use the Shopify Public connection.

The Shopify Public Store connection method enables inventory retrieval from other Shopify stores, serving as a scraping mechanism.

Follow these steps to connect:

|| Shopify Public connections are limited to 25,000 items due to Shopify API limitations. It also requires that the store is not password protected.

1. Click **Set up new feed,** then select **Add new products to store** or **Update existing products to store** and continue.

2. Search for **Shopify Public Store**.

To set a specific stock quantity, use quantity rules. ![](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/b/2/1/9/b219050a5836c000/screenshot-2026-08-19-at-24436_stpsq6.png)
