Setting up Shopify

Currently, StoreLinkr is not listed in the Shopify App Store. However, you can easily create a custom app connection to integrate your Shopify store with the StoreLinkr platform. This guide will walk you through the process.

If you encounter any issues during these steps, our support team is ready to help.

1. Create a Custom App in Shopify​

To start the integration, you need to create a custom app in your Shopify admin panel.

  1. Log in to your Shopify store.
  2. Click on Settings in the bottom-left corner.
  3. In the sidebar menu, click on Apps and sales channels.
  4. Click the Develop apps button.
  5. Click Create an app.
  6. Enter an app name (e.g., StoreLinkr) and select the App developer (your user account).
  7. Click Create app.

2. Configure Admin API Scopes​

Once the app is created, you must configure the permissions (scopes) so StoreLinkr can read and write data.

  1. Click on Configure Admin API Scopes.
  2. Search for and activate the following scopes:
    • write_products, read_products (for product synchronization)
    • write_inventory, read_inventory (for stock levels)
    • write_orders, read_orders (for order processing)
    • write_shipping, read_shipping (for fulfillment)
    • read_locations (for multi-location support)
    • write_metafield_definitions, read_metafield_definitions (for product properties)
  3. Scroll to the bottom and click the Save button.

API Version​

Under the Webhook subscriptions section at the bottom of the configuration page, ensure that the latest stable API version is selected. Note this version number, as it must match the setting in StoreLinkr.

3. Install the App and Get Credentials​

After saving the scopes, you need to install the app to generate your API tokens.

  1. Go to the API credentials tab.
  2. Click the Install app button and confirm the installation.
  3. Under Admin API access token, click Reveal token once.
  4. Important: Copy this token and save it securely. You can only view it once!
  5. Scroll down to API key and secret key and copy both the API key and API secret key.

4. Find Your Shop Name​

You will also need your Shopify shop name (the part before .myshopify.com). You can find this in your browser's address bar when logged into Shopify (e.g., if your URL is https://admin.shopify.com/store/my-shop-name, your shop name is my-shop-name).

5. Connect to StoreLinkr Portal​

Now that you have your credentials, you can finalize the connection in StoreLinkr:

  1. Log in to your StoreLinkr Portal.
  2. Navigate to Integrations.
  3. Click Add Integration and select Shopify.
  4. Enter your Shop Name, API Key, API Secret Key, and the Admin API Access Token.
  5. Ensure the API Version matches what you saw in Shopify.
  6. Click Save & Test Connection.

Always use the "(latest)" API version in Shopify to ensure compatibility with the newest features.
