# Fetch products from Shopify

EcomSend Connector retrieves products from Shopify based on the following criteria:

* Published in your **Online Store**
* Status is **Active**

{% hint style="info" %}
If you have **a large number** of products, our system **may take some time** to fetch and display them in our app.

### Related question: Why aren't archived and draft products fetched?

According to [Shopify's official documentation](https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/products/details#product-status) and user experience, products with these statuses are either no longer for sale or not yet for sale. These statuses hide the products from your admin and customers. So they are not fetched or listed by EcomSend Connector.

By excluding archived and draft products, EcomSend Connector syncs only those available for sale or being prepared for listing.
