The connection of a Shopify store is done exclusively via the Shopify API.
The following credentials are required from the Shopify store:
The API credentials must be created in the backend of the store.
- To do this, log in to Shopify(https://accounts.shopify.com/store-login) and click on the desired store (1) or create a new store (2).
- Then click on"Apps" (1) in the navigation on the right side.
- In the new window, now open the app creation via the"Create Apps" button(1).
- And create a new app via"Create an app" (1).
- Now assign a name for the app (1). Under App developer you can see for which store and by whom the app is created.
- Afterwards you have to assign the rights, what should be done with the app. To do this, click on"Configure Admin API areas" (1).
- For the assignment of rights under"Configuration" (1), select the desired rights under (2) and click on them. Finally, click on"API credentials" (3).
- Under"API credentials" (1), the access token must now be created. To do this, click on"Install App" (2).
- A window opens in which the installation must be confirmed again. If you want to install the app in the store, simply click on"Install" (1).
- Now you can display the Admin-API access token once(!) (1).
Copy the"Admin API access token" (1). If you close the window or open another tab in the navigation of the store, you can no longer access this data.
