    Article Summary

    This is a step-by-step tutorial for creating a Shopify connection.

    Prerequisites

    Shopify provides access via 2 authentication methods:

    • Basic (for private apps)
    • Token (for custom apps)

    Note:
    Private apps are deprecated by Shopify, and can no longer be created as of January 2022. However, users who already have Basic authentication can continue to use it.

    To begin, obtain your Token authentication.

    Connection Procedure

    1. Fill in the Connection's Name.

    2. Choose Credentials Type.

    • Basic (for private apps):

            a. Enter API Key.

            b. submit Password.

            c. input Shop Name.


    You can extract the name of the shop from the URL: http://XXXX-XXXX.myshopify.com/admin/api/2023-02/locations.json. The Shop Name is indicated by X's, with hyphens used to separate words.

            d. insert Webhook API Version (YYYY-MM with leading zeros).

    • Token (for custom apps):

            a. Enter Access Token.

            c. Input Shop Name. 

            d. insert Webhook API Version (YYYY-MM with leading zeros).

    3. Use the Test Connection function to see if your connection is up to the task. If the connection succeeded, you can now use this connection in Rivery.
