Step by step

Follow the steps below to generate an access token from Shopify (required)

1. Go to "Settings" > "Apps & sales channels" > "Develop apps".

2. Click on "Create an app":

3.  Enter a name for the app and choose an app developer who has rights to create apps in you.

4. Go to "Configure Scopes for Administration API" and tick read and/or write all permissions (if you want to keep it simple) but if you want to specify only the relevant ones, you can choose these 13:

English | Swedish (depending on which language you have in your Shopify store)
-------------------------------------------------- -------------------
Customers | Customers
Draft orders | Order draft
Inventory | Stock
Order editing | Order editing
Orders | Orders
Products | Products
Shipping | Shipping
Shopify Payments payouts | Shopify Payments payouts
Fulfillment services | Distribution Services
Merchant-managed fulfillment orders | Order assignments handled by the seller
Third-party fulfillment orders | Distribution orders from third parties

Check for both Read and Write if both exist for all Scopes above

1. Click "Save" (Once the rights are set, the app can be installed).
2. Click on "Install app" at the top right and then the "install" button. (Now an Admin API Access Token has been created.)
3. Click "Show token once" and copy the access token to a safe place on your computer. Please note that it is only possible to see your access token once.
4. Sharespine needs this access token as well as your URL to your store (eg: at the correct address: https://store.myshopify.com/) in order to connect your systems.
