Setting up integration with Shopify

Create a private app in your Shopify account

To set up the integration, you first need to create a new ShopCtrl App within your Shopify admin panel and grant it access to the API of your store. For more information on Shopify Private Apps, visit Shopify Help Center Private apps

You might need to enable the possibility to create a new private app in your Shopify admin settings first. Please check Enable private app development from the Shopify admin for more information.

To generate credentials to your store and give ShopCtrl access to your open API:

1. Log in to your Shopify account as a store owner.
2. On the navigation menu, select Apps.
3. Click on the Manage private apps link below the list of apps.
   
4. Click Create private app.
5. In the App details section, enter a name for your private app and a contact email address.
   
6. In the Admin API section, click Show inactive Admin API permissions. Grant ShopCtrl with access to the following areas:

7. Set Webhook API version to 2021-10.
8. Click Save to create a new ShopCtrl private app.
   The API key, the password, and Example URL are now displayed on the screen. Please keep them in a safe place as you would normally do with passwords.
   

Please see Generate credentials from the Shopify admin for more information.

Setup your Shopify synchronization in ShopCtrl

Once you have enabled integration in your Shopify account, you can set up synchronization in ShopCtrl.

1. Log in to your ShopCtrl account as a user with the Shop Owner Admin role.
2. In the navigation menu select Configuration > Shops to open the list of shops created.
   
3. Select a shop you would like to set up Shopify synchronization for and click Edit to open shop settings.
