Empower your e-commerce business with secure access and integration
capabilities by obtaining your Shopify API credentials. This
step-by-step guide will help you navigate the process, ensuring you
have everything you need for seamless integration.
Step 1: Access Your Shopify Store's Settings
-
In the bottom left corner of your dashboard, click on "Settings."
-
In the new window, scroll down and select "Apps on Sales Channel."
-
Click on "Create a new custom app," then input the name of the app
and hit the Create button.
Step 2: Configuring Admin API Scopes
-
The heart of your API credentials lies in the permissions you grant.
Depending on your needs, Shopify offers a range of permissions to
choose from:
- Order-Related Data: Manage orders effectively.
-
Analytics: Access analytics data for informed decision-making.
- Fulfillment Orders: View and manage fulfillment orders.
- Product Data: Access and manipulate product data.
-
Ensure you select the appropriate level (read, write, or edit) for
each permission based on your requirements.
Step 3: Saving Your Configuration
-
Review your choices after selecting and configuring the necessary
permissions.
-
Ensure access to all relevant data and functionality for your
project.
-
Take note of the API version (e.g., 2023-07) and save your settings.
Step 4: Obtaining Your API Credentials
-
Return to the main menu and under the "Apps" tab, find "API
Credentials."
- Copy and securely store your API Key and API Secret Key.
-
Install your app to reveal and save your access token securely
(note: you can only reveal it once).
Step 5: Share Your Admin Link
-
Provide your developer with your Shopify admin link, typically
"admin.shopify.com" or your shop's subdomain.
